I don't think one would have to be so proficient at flying an airplane that it would be difficult to hit a huge building. If you know the basics, you can fly airplane.

Now that's a good question.
A quick search tells me that their are flight schools all around the world that will teach people how to fly large jet airliners.
My answer would be cost and logistics. It would be quicker, easier, and less expensive to do everything in the US as opposed to sending people to Germany, setting them up there for six months to learn flying, and then moving their entire base of operations to the US.
Then again you could argue they could have done the flight training in any country and then taken international flights into NYC and what not.
Who knows.
