I remember that September 11 was clear and sunny all up and down the East Coast...no clouds.
At least one of the planes that hit the WTC appeared to turn South over the Hudson and flew right down to NYC.
GPS probably helped a bunch.
We don't know but what the hijackers forced the crews to help navigate, at least part of the way. Especially if the hijackers told them that they were simply "flying to JFK/DCA," etc. without letting on about the targets.
Don't look for GPS to be allowed on AA for quite a long time, even though it does not interfere with navigation.</font>
HUH? Never had a problem with my GPS on AA nor have anybody I know that flys with a GPS. I allways ask first before using it. Somtimes pilots send me back a printout to help.
