Here's your pilot info:
I’ve been a pilot for the past 27 years, first in the Italian Air Force, and then as
a check Captain for an airline.
I have a good experience as a simulator instructor and examiner, (as a matter
of fact one of my jobs was to train people with very basic experience…), and I
flew NATO AWACS planes as an Aircraft Commander (air refueling qualified)
and maritime patrol airplanes very low over water.
In my opinion the official version of the fact is absolutely plausible, does not
require exceptional circumstances, bending of any law of physics or
superhuman capabilities. Like other (real pilots) have said, the manoeuvres
required of the hijackers were within their (very limited) capabilities, they
were performed without any degree of finesse and resulted in damage to the
targets only after desperate overmanoeuvring of the planes. The hijackers
took advantage of anything that might make their job easier, and decided not
to rely on their low piloting skills. It is misleading to make people believe
that the hijackers HAD to possess superior pilot skills to do what they did.

Here's a great web site that properly exams many of your claims.

Human Identification in a Post-9/11 World: Attack on American
Airlines Flight 77 and the Pentagon
Identification and Pathology
Andrew M. Baker, M.D.
On September 11, 2001, American Airlines Flight 77 was hijacked by five terrorists as part of a
coordinated attack on the United States that also involved the hijackings of American Airlines
Flight 11 (which was flown into the North Tower of the World Trade Center), United Airlines
Flight 175 (which was flown into the South Tower of the World Trade Center), and United Airlines
Flight 93 (which crashed in a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania). AA Flight 77 was intentionally
crashed into the Pentagon, killing all 64 people on board the aircraft (terrorists, flight crew, and
passengers) and 125 people (military and civilian) in the building. The fact that this was a terrorist
attack targeting the nerve center of the U.S. Department of Defense made the identification and
handling of the human remains significantly different than a “typical” mass disaster.
The responsibility to identify and autopsy each of the decedents fell to the Office of the Armed
Forces Medical Examiner, part of the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology, headquartered in
Washington, DC. All of the human remains–of which there were more than 2000 separate
specimens–were moved to the U.S. Air Force Port Mortuary at Dover AFB, Delaware, for
evaluation. There, a multidisciplinary team of pathologists, dentists, anthropologists, fingerprint
specialists, radiologists, DNA technologists, photographers, morticians, and support personnel
used a systematic, stepwise approach to ensure that every scientifically available method was
utilized to maximize the number of victims that could be positively identified, reassociated, and
returned to the families.
This presentation will open with an overview of forensic human identification, discussing the
relative strengths and weaknesses of the various forms of presumptive and scientific human
identification and highlighting the contributions of dentistry, anthropology, fingerprinting, DNA,
and radiology. The presentation will then go inside the mortuary, showing every step in the
identification process and explaining the rationale for the identifications and examinations.
Following approximately 2½ weeks of remains processing and two months of DNA analysis, 183
unique identities were generated from the remains of those killed in the attack on the Pentagon,
yielding 178 positive identifications. Some remains for each of the terrorists were recovered, as
evidenced by five unique postmortem profiles that did not match any antemortem material
provided by victims’ families. No identifiable remains for five of the victims known to have been
killed in the attack were recovered.
