“For a guy to just jump into the cockpit and fly like an ace is impossible – there is not one chance in a thousand,” said Wittenberg, recalling that when he made the jump from Boeing 727′s to the highly sophisticated computerized characteristics of the 737′s through 767′s it took him considerable time to feel comfortable flying.” www.arcticbeacon.com...
Audio Interview 9/16/04: Regarding Flight 77, which allegedly hit the Pentagon. ”The airplane could not have flown at those speeds which they said it did without going into what they call a high speed stall. The airplane won’t go that fast if you start pulling those high G maneuvers at those bank angles. … To expect this alleged airplane to run these maneuvers with a total amateur at the controls is simply ludicrous…

you would rather believe that a bunch of percieved drunken muslim yobs who could not even pass their flight school training to even be sufficient at flying cessna 172 and be able to fly four...count em four highly sophisticated 757/767 jumbo passenger jet on highly elborate manouvers across four states to targets in which they could not even do simple navigation ...hmmmmm.
now i ask you who is the one being foolish here.
Also it didn't take a bunch of genius govenment officials...it took a few people in the right places with...LISTEN,,,alot of money and the right connections to pull it off...but hey you keep on beliveing it was a bunch of unskilled pilots to fly four jets.

An untrained civilian can be instructed how to successfully land a plane over the radio.
plausible
Based off of multiple airplane movies, this myth posed a challenge to the Mythbusters because they could not afford to test it using real aircraft. Instead, they used a NASA simulator. For their first test, both Adam and Jamie decided to see if they could land a plane unaided. However, since both Mythbusters had no flight experience and had no idea what most of the instruments and controls did, they both were forced to crash land their planes. In their second runs, a licensed pilot give them instructions via radio. With this help, both Adam and Jamie were able to land their planes safely. However, even though the test was a success, the pilot pointed out that most modern planes are so advanced that their autopilot systems can literally land the plane by themselves, negating the need for a civilian pilot.

Why don't you debunkers just ignore the truth movement? Are you afraid that the american people are so stupid that if you didn't counter truther arguements then the american people would start to believe in the myriad of conspiracy theories? Doesn't a wise man avoid getting into arguements with fools? You debunkers can not have it both ways: Either the 911 conpiracy theories are tripe and hence not worthy of attention or their is something to them.

There are very good reasons for why the "debunkers" frequent all 911 conspiracy threads. First, they are paid to, it is their job.
Second, they believe that most people are generally stupid (on this, they arguably have a point),

I think payroll at Langley owes me quite a hefty amount. I demand to be paidback every red cent i earned for frequenting ATS and debunking the truthers. I work tirelessly here, in this windowless office, 6 sublevels underneath CIA HQ. I need a raise and maybe an office next to the coffie machines. It tough being a paid debunker.

no sense talking to you obviously....did you read the link...a Pilot with over...count em ....30000+ hour on aircraft...he spent many hours flying those same planes...

I can also tell you i used to play microsoft flight sim ALLLLL the time...and i would take a cessna....fly it to the twin towers...approach at about the 80th floor and then pull up go into a complete stall and just level out at the top edge and flop down onto of the building...amazing...could it be done for real...I think not.

Why do you choose to try to talk down to people does it make you feel brighter...do you have this insatible need to be rude or does it just come naturally...yes i do know the diff between a actual simulator..you said about video games...the answer is no i have not done it in a real simulator...Have you?.
now also as i did say earlier that mythbusters would and is not an example of a reasonable test between the two situations and you can repeat yourself over and over but it is not going to change the fact.
and if you talk like others are dumb and your the most intelligent person on this planet then your credibility is worthless.

did i call you anything of the sort...and to group everyone into one catagory seems like a unreasonable way to go to me..... that is like saying all muslims are extremists.... now dont worry about the unpatriotic bit...cause if someones chooses to be patriotic for the wrong reasons does that make them patriotic or just foolish...and that does work both ways...just as alot of truthers get generalized as unpatriotic.....As for me...i pledge no allegiance to any government who sends it's people to war for their own selfish greed....now that to me is not being unpatriotic ,It is being a responsible human being....
Also if one day just say maybe that it was found out that the government was involved...and lets not acuse the whole govenment but a select few...would you still be patriotic to those people...afterall.
People should not use patriotism as a way to be fooled into something that is not right... there is such a thing as being patriotic to ones own beliefs...and it takes a lot more bravery to fight for the truth than to be swindled into the fold of what a government wants you to believe.
but I still am going to put my faith into a pilot who has a extreme number of flying hours...and it would be someone like him that would have talked the Mythbusters guys to the ground anyways...think about it.
but if your government came to you one day and said "we need you to kill a member of your family as it would be the patriotic thing to do" cause that is what they ask each and everyone of the soldiers to do by going and fighting a false flag operation
