They were completely inexperienced, and the instructors are on record as stating how incompetent they were.
A Boeing 757 is not designed to fly at 500+mph at such low altitude... actually it is virtually impossible. The air is too thick, and the plane will stall at such high speed.
Again, if you have no flight experience, don't try to feed me a line of BS... you obviously have no clue what you are talking about. And yes, a 300+degree turn at 500+mph in such a tight radius is very impressive. A jetliner is not made to maneuver in that capacity at that rate of speed... it is meant to fly straight with very long parabolic curves.
All of those quotes saying that were incompetent were said very early in their flight training. They had months of training after those quotes were said.
It is totally possible for a 757 to do that. Do you just not believe that a plane did it? Despite the pictures I've already posted?
