Fact 1: Donalds Rumsfield 09/10/01 speaks about 2.3 trillion dollars coming up missing from tax payers. Anything with that much money would launch a HIGH scale investigation
Fact 2: 09/11/01 Plane, Missile, Bomb hits pentagon in the computer network in the financial division completely knocking out all the computers that kept record of the 2.3 trillion dollars and their for no investigation could be done since well....the computers are gone.
Fact 3: Cell phone calls could not be placed on a plane that was so high up and have NO equipped backseat phones.
Fact 4: A highly surveillance building having over 100 security camera on the outside and only ONE camera caught the "plane, missile, bomb" hit the building....
I think there is more to what the government is saying. Plus where and what happened to 2.3 trillion dollars? That is a LOT of money to go missing and no trail to where it went since the trail has been blown up....

Hard hitting and accurate. Plus, pointed fingers at Rummy and Cheney as the perps which most of us already knew.
I'm pleased to finally get (some) of the aviation irregularities out into the light of day.
One step closer to the investigation we all want and need... maybe it will happen.
When it does the house of cards will crumble, if America doesn't collapse first. It's a real race.
And as a side note, I stop reading whenever Good Old Dave comes up on the net.
Does anybody else feel his 2 cents is worth less than that amount. .

It's not like the average Joe is allowed on these things..

Full motion simulators for hire?
Hi guys,
Just wondering if any of the airlines in the states hire out their simulators to the public as they do in the UK.
www.virtualaviation.co.uk
I will be in the New york Boston area from the 11th to the 24th of October this year and my wife wants to to do something for me for our anniversary.
Im thinking 767/757.
Regards
James
I know United Airlines do. I have seen many people hire out the 777 simulator. How you go about it I would have no clue, but ask Steve Becker or Norbert Bosch as they are two that I have seen go into a full 777 sim.
There's always the Pan Am Academy, old standby, been around since I can remember....
www.panamacademy.com...
Have no idea on their policy about one-off simulator rentals.....

Here's Virtual Aviation in the UK, caters to anyone (apparently) willing to pay. Perhaps we should put together a junket? I'll offer my services as tutor free of charge.
Update: Checking their site, hmmmmm.....well, found their "1-hour experience" in a selection of airliners SIms (no 757) at about 600 pound sterling. Whew! Like, $900 or so.....

ATS member turbofan once started a thread where he had contacted someone in Canada (Tino blocked the identity, but based on the recorded phone conversation, and accent, I guessed Toronto, possibly Air Canada). They offered Sim time, forget the price. $350-450 per hour would be the general rate, I would think.
Here's the Air Canada site, FYI: www.aircanada.com...

Found this about Delta:
Pilots can rent time in the simulators. If you’re pilot qualified to train in a large jet simulator, here’s the contact info:
Email: [email protected]
blog.delta.com...
Sounds a bit vague, the "qualified to train in large jet" comment....obviously, screening out potential Saudi hijackers is a top priority nowadays....but that would entail "profiling", and isn't "politically correct", I suppose....
___
I think that IF you already have some light airplane time (I'm guessing at least a little??) then experiencing a real airliner, at least in simulation, would be eye-opening for you.
Though I know some very frequent flyers that have been invited to try out airline simulators....

This nonsense figure of "85", or even "100" cameras? People just hear it, nod and go "Uh huh"???
Were all "85" cameras bunched around the same location, at he Pentagon? ALL aimed at the same spot?
OR, is it a massively large building...and OFFICE building (and not particularly "secure", not then....even now, you can still walk or drive up pretty close, without ID....there's a Visitor's Parking area, a large bus terminal, and the Metro station, inside too....). You will get challenged if you attempt to enter without proper passes, of course....and cameras focus on ENTRANCES and other sites, not the middle of one of the exterior walls!!!
Moving goalposts, because the sites I found only "started up" after 9/11??

Weedwhacker, can you post ONE video of ONE pilot being able to execute the maneuver's of the flight path before and into the Pentagon in a top grade simulator? Your talk is wearing thin.

reconcile the numbers so that the 2.3 trillion, was down to 700 billion.

And the number is much, much lower today.
Its still amazing how many people are completely clueless about the subject. Of course, if Pentagon beancounters think there are TWO USS Abraham Lincolns.....I can see why civilians wouldn't understand......edit on 18-12-2010 by vipertech0596 because: added
