Video #1. Russ Wintenberg. Boy, I could tell you what I've heard about HIM, form other pilots in the industry. He's well known as a loud-mouthed troublemaker.
Captain Russ Wittenberg (ret)
30,000+ Total Flight Time 707, 727, 737, 747, 757, 767, 777, DC-8, L-1049, Learjet 24/25, L-188 Ground Instructor, Advanced Ground Instructor, Instrument Instructor, Flight Engineer Turbojet Aircraft Dispatcher Pan Am, United United States Air Force (ret) Over 100 Combat Missions Flown Command time in: - N591UA (Aircraft dispatched as United 93) - N612UA (Aircraft dispatched as United 175)
[snip]The hijackers who flew had several hundred hours each, and their movements were tracked afterwards, showing that they had many times bought simulator time in the 757 and 767 sims. This not only gave them time to get the "feel" for the airplanes, but to use all the various controls they would need, the navigation computers and other instrumentation, and to familiarize them with the cockpit layouts.
The man either is delusional (possible), OR was given BAD information to base his opinions on

Second video displays the comments from Ralph Kolstad. Equally hyperbolic, and just more of the same script, from just about ALL of the "truther" websites and strawman arguments.
HE seems to focus on the Pentagon, and American 77. He goes on a bit about NYC too. BUT, AAL 77:
Commander Ralph Kolstad
23,000 hours 2
7 years in the airlines B757/767 for 13 years mostly international Captain with American Airlines.
20 years US Navy flying fighters off aircraft carriers,
TopGun twice civilian pilot flying gliders, light airplanes and warbirds Command time in: - N644AA (Aircraft dispatched as American 77) - N334AA (Aircraft dispatched as American 11)

Highly amusing, you want to see evidence that everything Weedwhacker has said is true, but you're swallowing everything from P4T raw. Par for the course as a noplaner, I guess :@@

Where is your Source and Proof that these total newbies had anything more than crop dusting experience...

No, I just think you should demand the same level of scrutiny from P4T as you demand from Weedwhacker.
In a previous post, you wrote:

I ask, and so should you, where is P4Ts proof that this was all the experience the pilots hijackers had?
Their forums are all alike - Loose Change, Pentacon, Pilots for 9/11 Truth, Architects for 9/11 Truth, Veterinarians for 9/11 Truth, Proctologists for 9/11 Truth, Limo Drivers for 9/11 Truth, Truck Drivers for 9/11 Truth, whatever. They'll ban anyone in a heartbeat if you make any sort of counter-factual argument and their reason will be "Debate in the discussion forum!" or "Discussion in the debate forum!" or "Saying stuff we don't like!". Debate is impossible with them. Facts to them are "government lies" and even personal experience is nothing more than "lies" coming from a "government shill". Anything - ANYTHING that does not conform to their warped view of things is a lie and if you do not conform to their warped view of things, you are a liar.
For all their Internet blustering, though, these clowns will never, ever take any of their claims to court because primarily they lack the power of their convictions to really think they could get anywhere with their claims. Plus, their data and claims would never, ever survive professional scrutiny. I've lost count of the number of breathless - BREATHLESS claims of "I have so much evidence I could take them to court right now!" or "This will blow the case wide open!" on certain elements of the 9/11 attacks, but when query "Why aren't you?" you get the standard responses - either a spewing of an indignant "Who do you think you are?" or an immediate entry into the classic excuse matrix - "My dog died" or "My cat coughed up a hairball" or "I can't take the time" or "I have a day job" or "Nobody cares" or "I need to get a haircut". They'll tell you they hold the key - the very answer - to the most heinous crime in recorded history yet won't do anything about it but sit on a web page and hurl baseless accusations at the military or civilians involved in this.
When you try to point out that, if they are as right they claim to be, this is the worst mass-murder at a single time in the history of the world and how can they POSSIBLY remain quiet, they remain unswayed. Bottom line of what they are doing? Its no more than a scam to sell cute little woman's cap sleeve baby-doll tee-shirts for that special little co-pilot in your life or to grab yourself a sporty ball cap, complete with the breathtaking "Pilots for 9/11 Truth!" logo handsomely emblazoned on it. Actually doing something would put what little bit of a cash-cow to bed. As Balsamo points out in a recent post of his lecturing someone who has a pilot buddy who wants to remain anonymous:
"Tell him to step up, or step off. His words mean nothing to anyone if he isnt willing to step up to the plate. Whats worse, is his words mean nothing to himself".
Advice that Balsamo himself doesn't seem to heed - preferring to hide behind a web page, scramming money from people for the aforementioned tee shirts and ball caps and shoddy DVDs produced in a basement garage somewhere. Instead of heading to the moonbat-friendly 9th District Court in San Fran to obtain an indictment for mass murder of every breathing human being in or vaguely associated with the US government, he is content to sit on his ass and rake in money. He is a charlatan, and his "group of pilots" are boneheaded morons.

Stop addressing me. [snip]
You are only capable of making statements. You dont have the ability or knowledge to back them up.
I just hope that the posters have noticed that you failed to answer any questions.. NOT ONE!!!!
You then said "I will answer these questions once mimobs answers this 1 question... Well I answered it ... Here we sit waiting for the OP to answer the most basic questions. You drone on about this and that without answering anything.
Also... You have proven your comprehension skills to be less than average..
NOBODY HERE BELIEVES THE OS..
Why does it have to be "Believe everything or believe nothing"..

I didn't write the snippet I'm posting, at the bottom...wish I had. Sums up my opinion of those so-called "experts" perfectly. You see, regardless of their numbers of hours, or numbers of airplanes flown, or admission to "Top Gun", etc....they are ALL "stepping up" for reasons other than "truth". They KNOW that the tens of thousands of OTHER pilots just laugh at (or cringe) at them, and their "claims". [snip]
