Hanjour


The instructors at the airfield in Maryland said, "It was like he had
hardly even ever driven a car. He could not fly at all."

And yet, Orval Fairbairn asks us to believe that Hanjour pulled off a
stunt that would press the limits of even the most experienced aviation
test pilot.


First of all, if that maneuver would "press the limits of even the most
experienced test pilot," I would have to question both his experience
and expertise. It didn't take much ability to perform a diving 270
degree kamikaze turn. The Kamikazes in WW-II did it all the time, and
with only rudimentary training.

Only a fool would arge otherwise.



Perhaps you need to remove you head from Mary's drums, Orval, the
banging has advanced your senility.


Obviously, neither "Tom" nor "Quaalude" has ever operated the controls
of a plane, or they would not have posted such utter nonsense.
