i dont get the flight path argument... im not a pilot, i did get to take over the stick in a private plane once for a few minutes and that is the extent of my flight experience. i saw that richard gage challenged people to try google earth's flight sim and try to hit these targets. even without 3D mapping once i got the gist of the controls i hit both wtc towers (the foot prints that is) and the pentagon on the 1st try. im failing to see the difficulty for someone who's had even minimal training.
wtc would be much easier irl and you just look for the 2 tallest building on the skyline, for the pentagon i looked for the city, then the river, then rriap, then the pentagon.
all this talk about trying to mimic the flight path exactly is bs, id have the same difficulty trying to follow my exact flight path and maneuvers i made if i tried to mimic myself.
