Re: World Trade Center & DC?

    The hijackers would not need detailed knowledge/experience with the
757/67.  They would need knowledge of how to fly a large jet, use of
navigational systems, etc.  Just fly stable enough to not be noticed,
navigate to target, aim for target.  So just about any military trained
pilot could pull this off.  Or someone trained by a military/civilian pilot.
