Well the WTC were gigantic, even compared to a large aircraft, so hitting one of the towers, okay, plausible. Hitting both? I'm willing to accept that's possible too, though the odds are astronomically higher.
But the Pentagon too? You know, I'd still possibly be willing to swallow the blue pill if the 'plane' had hit it from above, even though I think that too would be extremely difficult, even for an experienced pilot. But it was hit from the side. Like they just 'drove' up.
I find it unbelievable that anyone, let alone relative 'amateurs', could fly a plane along the ground in a city for any length of time and also right into their intended target, dead on.
And it's a huge building, why did they go for its smallest, most difficult to hit, point? It's less than 80ft high. It's like choosing to hit the roof of the WTC towers rather than the side.

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.

It's just something that always bugged me and I'd never seen anyone raise the question why they'd do it that way (supposedly), so I assumed there might be a good explanation why they did it. But I just can't see any reason at all why if you're going to commit a major criminal operation in an 'enemy' country, you would go to that country one second before you had to. Every minute spent in the USA put their plans at risk of exposure.
The reason Media Guy gave, as with many other 'conspiracy' explanations, unfortunately makes more sense than any 'official' version of events.
