READ ME ... UPDATE 5/19/07: After finding a separate NTSB report, my fuel load was too heavy. This explains to me why I reached the turn time at HNN about 20-30 miles earlier than actual. Fuel consumption was still withing margins. I will make a second video using actual fuel weight and we'll compare times there as well. Times of importance are takeoff, hijack turn, and time of impact. Best at full screen, this flight was flown using information from the Flight Data Recorder. I flew the route normally and at certain times where there was a change in flight profile, I frap-recorded those events and their times. All times were within one minute of the official event times. The sim used is X-Plane 8.4 Weather was set for that day, clear, variable winds, unknown altimeter setting. Weight: 64 passengers x 170lb (the FAA Standard)= 10,880lbs plus 1,000lbs luggage. Fuel: topped off at 80,000lbs. takeoff weight: 204,162lbs Route of Flight: LDN,J134,HNN,J134,FAL,BUM,J110,RSK,J64,PGS,CIVETS5. AA77 only actually made it as far as just past the HNN VOR. I am working on a full 1hr30min DVD of the entire flight. Anybody that wants one to see for themselves can contact me. The song is Everybody Hurts by R.E.M., available on Warner Records. I chose that song since it reminds me of that day.

Dec 10, 2008 - Let me see. You attempt to recreate an event with a MS flight Simulator X game with GPS guidance. This so-called 757 was being flown by total amateurs who would have been flying by the seat of their pants. During the return to target, they were in terrain flight mode. They would have lost all orientation with the target and flown right by at cruise speed. They would have lost control long before reaching the intended target. Bad attempt to explain it away.

Dec 10, 2008 - It is one thing to sit at a table top computer with a flight simulator game with GPS to give you guidance to orient yourself back to the target. These fictitious pilots were "wingin it" and after getting totally disoriented would have lost control and augured that aircraft into the earth long before reaching their intended target. Nice try. I have talked to many heavy lift pilots in the Air Force and they say the same thing; No Fucking Way!!! Nice Try!!

Dec 10, 2008 - Let me see. This isnt microsoft, the so-called amatuers had at a minimum, Commercial certificates, the FDR indicated the autopilot was shut off 35 miles out, the target is next to the DCA vor, so all yuou have to know is VOR basics, which is private pilot taught. Since I have a 757 type rating, I'll tell you it's not hard at all.
Jumpa31 Says:
Dec 10, 2008 - You've talked to Air force pilots. I have a 757 type rating and train US Army pilots. Now that we understand each other's experience, act your age.

Dec 11, 2008 - Well, where are the military fighters? How long did it last from when the transponder was shut off till the hit? Anyway I'm not here to speculate more on this. I just would like to ask you where did you get this simulator FSX, X-Plane or some thing else?
Jumpa31 Says:
Dec 12, 2008 - If you read the video, you'll see I'm examining the 330 degree turn, not "where are the fighters" or "time from transponder shut off". The video clearly shows hijack at 8:55. We all know the time of impact. Do the math.

Dec 15, 2008 - i like to watch the whole flight

Dec 16, 2008 - amazing video. great job in the recreation.

Dec 16, 2008 - What the hell is Terrain Flight mode??? No such thing...do you mean VFR??

Dec 17, 2008 - Jumpa31 - I found your sim compelling. Terrible for all those closely involved, especially the poor victims. History shows that there will always be a certain percentage of people who prefer to believe anything other than the official story. I'm not saying that everything we are told is true and a lot of mistakes were made that perhaps could have stopped the whole thing but some folks seem to be obsessed with their need to find an 'inside plot'.

Dec 17, 2008 - Jumpa31-If you're willing to stand by your work, why the phony voice-over? Not disagreeing with your conclusions, though. But the ridiculous voice distortion detracts from your point.
Jumpa31 Says:
Dec 18, 2008 - It's what the computer does. I don't control it and I didn't write Microsoft Windows. I'll pass along your concerns to Mr. Gates.
Jumpa31 Says:
Dec 18, 2008 - Isn't it interesting how EVERYTHING is an inside job...Pearl Harbor, JFK, Martin Luther King, Robert Kennedy, 9/11. What really interests me is how the first WTC attack, the 1993 WTC bombing, doesn't seem to be an inside job to CT'ers. They'll admit it was Ramsii Youseff, then totally trash the obvious (that the WTC was a target of Mid-east terror groups) and call the very next WTC attack an inside job.

Dec 19, 2008 - Wow, very accurate. How many times did you do it to get it that perfect?

Dec 19, 2008 - To add to that, we melt zinc at my work for certain things and I'm no expert on metals but it don't take long or a lot of heat to melt it. I'm assuming at that high temperature and the right amount of kinetic energy, aluminum wouldn't stand a chance. What most people don't realize is that metal is not like stone. It's not really a solid substance in fact most metals are very plyable which why buildings are are made with both steel and concrete otherwise too much weight and they would bend.

Dec 26, 2008 - you posted this vid on my birthday may 11

Dec 26, 2008 - Also, in this video, it shows you are still at about 80 feet altitude, altimeter incorrect?
LyMo08 Says:
Dec 28, 2008 - Impressive. Very interesting
sritger Says:
Dec 28, 2008 - Very well done! You have clearly shown that the 9/11 conspiracy theorists are full of BS when they say that maneuver couldn't be done even by an experienced pilot. The turn was far more gentle than the 9/11 conspiracy theorists would have us believe. Thanks!!!

Dec 29, 2008 - wow man very impressive! show this to da fbi!

Dec 7, 2008 - "..should APPEAR to continue..." "..demonstrate CONVINCINGLY..." See where it talks about evacuating the passengers at Eglin? You're seeing a CIA operation, using CIA operatives under aliases. The plane would NEED to be boarded PUBLICALLY at a PUBLIC airport so witnesses can testify to the existence of the aircraft and passengers. The whole idea here is to make it "APPEAR" the plane was shot down. In the plan, only a DRONE...a DRONE is to be shot down, not the "college students".
