Remember too that the 9/11 pilots did a crappy job. They overspeed the
planes on several occasions (according to tracking data). The hardest
part is energey management, they didn't have that down. The point is
that if all you want to do is fly into a building, you don't have to
be very good.


A very crappy job. Both were boresighting the towers; not accounting for
the wind effects. An especially bad job by the second terrorist who had the
smoke from the first hit to guide him. Both his at a substantial bank angle


IIRC one of them had to try twice.
