Okay, as expected, you're hunkering behind the parsing of "loop" and "turn." Fine, point taken, but the difficulty of the 320-degree turn and subsequent dive and tree-level guidance by a man who had never sat in a 757 or knew anything about its very complicated control system remains a glaring hole in your denialism.Left Seater wrote:Funny you are going to the 9/11 Commission Report when you don't believe a word of it anyway.

A loop is performed completely in the vertical plane, not the horizontal plane. Again basic info that even a 3rd grader knows. Your lack of elementary knowledge would be funny, but it is becoming very clear that you rode a short bus to school. I refuse to make fun of special needs people.LTS the Short Bus Rider wrote:Are you going to quibble about the difference between a "loop" and a "turn"?
Exactly how many hours do you have sitting in any cockpit in your log book? Hell, do you even have any flight sim time? Thought so!LTS expert on everything ever wrote:Your claims of how easy it is to fly a 757 are ludicrous at best.
And as for flight and sim time, the question isn't about me, but the alleged pilot. And he had ZERO time in the air or with a simulator. So...what are you trying to say again? You're never really clear. That flying a 757 is actually very easy? Well, that's not what commercial pilots say who move up from the 737 class. On the contrary, the more computerized 757 and 767s are described as much more difficult to get used to. The air controllers who witnessed the 320-degree maneuver are on record as being very surprised at the precision of the aircraft's movement--and that they thought it a military plane. And this is all beside the other glaring fact that the big 320-degree turn was completely unnecessary for an attack on the pentagon. "flight 175" could have easily just dove right down on it--with much greater damage. Any notion as to why a totally inexperienced pilot would execute an extremely advanced maneuver unnecessarily?
