I agree, the operation was very well thought out. The complexity is dependant
upon the measures taken by those whose defences you are attempting to
penetrate.

Good catch on the aircraft types... I would have missed that...

The "pilot(s)" was/were most likely zealous. Zealots are generally best known
for their lack of education. The educated guys do not generally go off to get
themselves killed for God. We can see this in our own back yards... Combat
18(UK), the Aryan Nations Church(US/UK/Germany), the KKK(US)... the guys who do
the dirty work for those people are also generally poorly educated, if at all.
To my reasoning.... The intended pilots of such large aircraft are invariably
well educated, whether a Baccalaureate or an equivalency course.

I have to agree, the "pilot(s)" were most likely familiar with the most basic
aspects of yoke, gear, flaps & throttle.

At this point I have to say that I will refrain from anything other than
postulation until we get hard data. Even then, we must all remember to keep our
minds open and observe.
