I'd be inclined to agree with him...once the airplane is airborne and
cleaned up, the skills to steer it and adjust altitude are pretty much what
you learn in a 152.....and you don't have to worry about the rudders.

"How Hard Is It to Fly a 757 or 767?"

It's an exciting reading... the guy is in "unique position to answer
that question", after 100hrs in C172 and 5-6 hrs in a 757 sim...

100-hr pilots, rejoice, flying big iron has never been easier... to

simulator training that I received could fly a 757 or 767 well enough
to hit a large building."
Dr.Curtiss is surely doing fine... we'll keep you posted of his
progress...

And, the dramatic conclusion: "Given the wide availability of this
kind of training, it would appear that the kind of terrorist actions
that took place in New York and Washington could easily be repeated in
the future."

I guess as soon Dr.Curtiss picks up his 757 at Wal-Mart...

I don't know whether to laugh or cry...
