"As we study the date found in the black boxes, we see a story of precise navigation methods, of incredible coordination, of advanced maneuvering and hair-raising dives. The flight profiles revealed that a tailed operating procedure was used to fly directly to predetermined targets, followed by a series of advanced hand-flown maneuvers that included rapid descents, steep turns and coordinated roll outs."
"High speed and low-level maneuvers training is evident when we see the the extraordinary flight profiles and FAA radar recordings. For example, American 77, after navigating from 300 miles directly to a relatively small area, executed a difficult descending low-altitude 330-degree steep turn before it torpedoed the Pentagon just three feet off the ground at 540 miles per hour. As a twenty-year Boeing pilot and captain on the 757, I would be challenged to duplicate this performance without several practice flights"

540 miles per hour is far above the speed that plane should have been flying. 530 mph is it's optimal CRUISING speed, not its low-altitude maneuvering speed. It's certainly not a long, slow sloppy turn according to an ACTUAL pilot who is a CAPTAIN on a 757. Please let me know where your daughter is learning to drive. I'd like to avoid that area at all costs.
One of the pilots I know personally is checked out as a first officer on both the 757 and the 767. He tells me the same thing. BTW, he was one of the pilots on the AA flight with the "Shoe Bomber."
Oh, I guess you missed two things about Rob's video. First, it's not in real time, it's in slow-mo. You might notice time on the clock. It appears to be time of day Rob made the simulation and not the time of day the flight actually happened. That was at 9:37 AM EDT. Second, his first question on the re-creation "Pentagon straight ahead. Why start this turn? Why not push the nose straight down into the Pentagon?" Good question. Why execute what another pilot says is a difficult maneuver that might have caused him to miss his target entirely. A 330-degree turn when the target is right in front of you? Why indeed?
From your post:
Are you sure there isn't something terribly wrong about what you've been told about these 'maneuvers" by the "truth movement?" My working brain says there must be.
Well yes, I'm certain that there is something terribly wrong about these maneuvers as told to us by our government. I don't believe they happened that way.
I'll trust what experienced pilots have to say over you any day. That includes Robert.
