Has anybody understood why this "AirmanDave" keeps waffling about "overspeed" and Mmo, and all that? If my 17-year old son (way back) could fly BOS-JFK IFR on the Atari 800 MS FS (two hours in the Cessna), and land properly at JFK, why couldn't a couple of terrorists, with basic flight training and a reasonable idea of the 767 cockpit functions and handling, aim at the WTC towers from miles away (VMC, IIRC) and hit them? I probably could.

Troll country, IMHO.

galaxy flyer,
The fact that you can barrel roll a 747 on MS FS proves nothing.... not even that it hasn't been done in real life!!
It's been done with enough other "big 'uns" (707, Vulcan, Concorde, for some of the definitely confirmed ones).
Would be interesting how many other ones have been quietly barrel rolled somewhere out of sight of prying eyes.....
Anybody for doing it with an A380 ?
