He didn't care about the fact that he couldn't get through the course." 1 Rick Garza, a flight instructor at Sorbi's Flying Club, had this to say about the two alleged hijackers originally thought to have piloted Flight 77, Khalid al-Mihdar and Nawaq al-Hamzi: "It was like Dumb and Dumber, I mean, they were clueless. It was clear they were never going to make it as pilots."
These are the two people who ACTUALLY CHECKED HIM OUT, NOT BERNARD :
In the second week of August 2001, Hanjour had attempted to rent a small plane from an airport in Bowie, MD. Flight instructors Sheri Baxter and Ben Conner declined his request, after taking Hanjour on three test runs, noting he had trouble controlling and landing the Cessna 172. Though Hanjour had attended a flight school in Scottsdale, AZ, for four months in 1996 and 1997, he never completed the coursework for a single-engine aircraft license. 2
Notice the word "controlling"
Also, as somebody obviously bothered to ask Bernard, who i agree said"he could hit a building"..but said NOTHING ELSE...one wonders why that question wasnt posed to the two people who actually checked him out. Any guesses???
I again await somebody posting when and by whom he was signed off on his commercial license. I would have to assume that info would be easy to find. Until then, ITS PURELY SPECULATION.
