	washingtonpost.com: Mysterious Trip to Flight 77 Cockpit
		Hanjour's abrupt transformation in the early 1990s is one of many tantalizing, if inconclusive, clues that only hint at why a decade later, authorities believe, Hanjour was in the cockpit when American Airlines Flight 77 struck the Pentagon, killing 184 victims.
		Hanjour, who was 29 when he died, spent tens of thousands of dollars on pilot training but is not known to have held a job.
		Hanjour, in fact, had piled up hundreds of hours of pilot training, but months before the attacks had failed to earn a rating to fly a Boeing 737 (the hijacked plane was a 757).

	Hanjour an Unlikely Terrorist
		Yet on the morning of Sept. 11, investigators have said, Hanjour was not one of the foot soldiers brought into the conspiracy merely to cow passengers in the cabin of the Boeing 757 as it streaked toward the Pentagon.
		Hanjour first arrived in the United States years before the others, and was one of just two suspected hijackers who held a student visa.
		Hani Hanjour stayed with Susan and Adnan Khalil for about a month during the spring of 1996 before beginning a series of unsuccessful stints at flight schools out west.

	CBS News \| Sept. 11 Hijacker Made Test Flights \| October 9, 2002 22:26:57
		Hani Hanjour, the hijacker who is believed to have piloted American Airlines Flight 77 that struck the Pentagon, conducted test runs in careful preparation for the final attack.
		Hanjour's flights were disclosed to U.S. interrogators by what one source identified as a "senior detainee." The detainee was not identified by name, although investigators have been closely questioning suspected Sept. 11 coordinator Ramzi Binalshibh, who was captured in a series of raids in Pakistan last month.
		Hanjour conducting these practice target acquisition flights is seen as just another layer of preparation.

		It appears that Hanjour was the only applicant of the 15 who was initially refused — although this is not entirely clear, because the consular officers did not always circle "Issued" or "Refused" (as required by law) on the other forms.
		On the subsequent application filed two weeks later, Hanjour was armed with all the right answers.
		On the second go-round, Hanjour applied for a twelve-month student visa, and changed the purpose of the visit to "study" and the desired length of stay to a more appropriate "one year." But so many changes, all of which smoothed out rough spots on the original application, should have troubled the consular officer.

	Killtown's: Did Flight 77 really crash into the Pentagon? - The alleged hijackers...
		Hanjour, who investigators contend piloted the airliner that crashed into the Pentagon, was reported to the aviation agency in February 2001 after instructors at his flight school in Phoenix had found his piloting skills so shoddy and his grasp of English so inadequate that they questioned whether his pilot's license was genuine.
		Hanjour may have lived in Phoenix, Ariz., and San Diego, Calif. Federal Aviation Administration records show a Hani Hanjour as receiving a commercial pilot's license in 1999 and listing a post office box in Saudi Arabia as his address.
		Yet on the morning of Sept. 11, investigators have said, Hanjour was not one of the foot soldiers brought into the conspiracy merely to cow passengers in the cabin of the Boeing 757 as it streaked from Dulles International Airport toward Washington and the Pentagon.

	Statement of Robert S. Mueller: Joint Investigation Into September 11: (published September 26, 2002)
		Hani Hanjour is the first of the hijackers to appear on record entering the United States, nearly a decade prior to the attack (there is no evidence to suggest that the plot began that long ago).
		Hanjour's first recorded entry was on October 3, 1991, when he arrived in New York via a Saudi Arabian flight en route to Tucson, Arizona.
		The lengthy and extensive flight training obtained by Hani Hanjour throughout his years in the United States makes it reasonable to believe that he was the pilot of Flight 77 on September 11.

		The matter of Hani Hanjour being capable of bringing Flight 77 to crash into the Pentagon is another mysterious part of the 911 puzzle.
		In a real-world scenario, with this kind of "situational NON-awareness", Hanjour might as well have been flying over Argentina, Russia, or Japan—he wouldn't have had a clue as to where, precisely, he was.
		Hanjour would be forced to divert his attention to his instrument panel, where he'd be faced with a bewildering array of instruments—nothing like he had seen in a Cessna 172.

		Marcel Bernard, the chief flight instructor at the airport, said the man named Hani Hanjour went into the air in a Cessna 172 with instructors from the airport three times beginning the second week of August and had hoped to rent a plane from the airport.
		Hanjour had his pilot's license, said Bernard, but needed what is called a 'check-out' done by the airport to gauge a pilot's skills before he or she is able to rent a plane at Freeway Airport which runs parallel to Route 50.
		Hanjour had 600 hours listed in his log book, Bernard said, and instructors were surprised he was not able to fly better with the amount of experience.
