It's claimed he had zero time. Yet he managed to fire up two turbines, safely take off, and perform multiple advanced flight maneuvers. And did so well. All while happily suicidal and cracking jokes.
If you believe a person was on that plane you probably already bought several bridges.

A good number of people in the airline industry are, perhaps unsurprisingly, interested in aircraft. If he spent enough time on an at-home simulator I don't see why he couldn't self-learn.
Supposedly he had none. A sim is not like real life.
9-11 happened. No fighter jets to take down Flight 175 before it hit the north tower. But boy howdy, there were F-15 on Beebos ass within minutes. Hmmm.
Modern sims are pretty damn close. That said, sky king mentioned that he was playing arcade sims on a console... yeah, that doesn't add up.
That’s more realistic than remote controlled airplanes
I'm a pilot with turbine time. Your position is idiotic.
I still know more about aircraft systems than you.
Tell me. What lru processes the signal? On which antenna is the remote signal received? How is a response propagated on cable flight control system? What systems provide the data on which bus to a submitting antenna real time that can be sent via satellite (which band would have that relay time?) only to be returned quickly enough to be processed on the airplane?
I’ll tell you. None. The system doesn’t exist.
and what island did he allegedly crush to?
I don't recall the name of the island.
