Also, they deliberately mis-state Hanjour's pilot qualifications while overstating the difficulty of 330 degree turn he executed.

LC: Hani Hanjour allegedly executes a 330 degree turn at 530 MPH

This is an outright lie. The turn was executed at normal airspeed. Hanjour didn't over-speed the aircraft until the last 30 seconds on his final straight-in approach from about 2000ft altitude.


Misinformation pure and simple: I think that's why a good number of people on these threads aren't aware that Hanjour was a licensed commercial pilot with simulator training in jets.
