 Thank you for all the responses. It's nice to get other opinions. 
 There's a few things that weren't commented on though. 
 
 For instance..... 
 
 "In the case of a Boeing 757 or 767, the pilot would be faced with an 
 EFIS (Electronic Flight Instrumentation System) panel comprised of 
 six large multi-mode LCDs interspersed with clusters of assorted 
 "hard" instruments. These displays process the raw aircraft system 
 and flight data into an integrated picture of the aircraft situation, 
 position and progress, not only in horizontal and vertical 
 dimensions, but also with regard to time and speed as well. When 
 flying "blind", I.e., with no ground reference cues, it takes a 
 highly skilled pilot to interpret, and then apply, this data 
 intelligently. If one cannot translate this information quickly, 
 precisely and accurately (and it takes an instrument-rated pilot to 
 do so), one would have ZERO SITUATIONAL AWARENESS. I.e., the pilot 
 wouldn't have a clue where s/he was in relation to the earth. Flight 
 under such conditions is referred to as "IFR", or Instrument Flight 
 Rules." 
 
 
 "According to FAA radar controllers, "Flight 77" then suddenly pops 
 up over Washington DC and executes an incredibly precise diving turn 
 at a rate of 360 degrees/minute while descending at 3,500 ft/min, at 
 the end of which "Hanjour" allegedly levels out at ground level. Oh, 
 I almost forgot: He also had the presence of mind to turn off the 
 transponder in the middle of this incredibly difficult maneuver (one 
 of his instructors later commented the hapless fellow couldn't have 
 spelt the word if his life depended on it)." 
 
 "The maneuver was in fact so precisely executed that the air traffic 
 controllers at Dulles refused to believe the blip on their screen was 
 a commercial airliner. Danielle O'Brian, one of the air traffic 
 controllers at Dulles who reported seeing the aircraft at 9:25 said, 
 "The speed, the maneuverability, the way that he turned, we all 
 thought in the radar room, all of us experienced air traffic 
 controllers, that that was a military plane."" 
 
 "And then, all of a sudden we have magic. Voila! Hanjour finds the 
 Pentagon sitting squarely in his sights right before him." 
 
 "But even that wasn't good enough for this fanatic Muslim kamikaze 
 pilot. You see, he found that his "missile" was heading towards one 
 of the most densely populated wings of the Pentagon-and one occupied 
 by top military brass, including the Secretary of Defense, Rumsfeld. 
 Presumably in order to save these men's lives, he then executes a 
 sweeping 270-degree turn and approaches the building from the 
 opposite direction and aligns himself with the only wing of the 
 Pentagon that was virtually uninhabited due to extensive renovations 
 that were underway (there were some 120 civilians construction 
 workers in that wing who were killed; their work included 
 blast-proofing the outside wall of that wing)." 
 
 "I shan't get into the aerodynamic impossibility of flying a large 
 commercial jetliner 20 feet above the ground at over 400 MPH. A 
 discussion on ground effect energy, tip vortex compression, downwash 
 sheet reaction, wake turbulence, and jetblast effects are beyond the 
 scope of this article (the 100,000-lb jetblast alone would have blown 
 whole semi-trucks off the roads.) 
 
 "Let it suffice to say that it is physically impossible to fly a 
 200,000- lb airliner 20 feet above the ground at 400 MPH." 
 
 
 
 
 According to the article, the alledged hijackers would have had to be 
 trained instrument pilots, and thoroughly familiar with the 757/767 
 six large screen LCD display in order to pilot the aircraft. 
 
 As the article states, 
 
 "When flying "blind", I.e., with no  ground reference cues, it takes a 
 highly skilled pilot to interpret, and  then apply, this data 
 intelligently. If one cannot translate this  information quickly, 
 precisely and accurately (and it takes an  instrument-rated pilot to 
 do so), one would have ZERO SITUATIONAL  AWARENESS. I.e., the pilot 
 wouldn't have a clue where s/he was in  relation to the earth. Flight 
 under such conditions is referred to as "IFR", or Instrument Flight 
 Rules." 
 
 At no time were any of the aircraft flying blind, thus the established 
 facts as to what happened that day are completely consistent with what 
 the article claims. Oops.
