Terror Flight School Owners flew Saudis on "unsupervised flights" over USA

[Minstrel Boy]

New story today by Daniel Hopsicker on 9/11's Florida connection:

A federal complaint filed April 5 in Ft. Myers, FL. accusing flight school owners Wally Hilliard and Rudi Dekkers of flying numerous "unauthorized and unsupervised flights" during April and May of 1999 makes no mention of the clients on the illegal flights, who the MadCowMorningNews has learned were Saudi nationals. “They were flying for the Saudis,” said an aviation executive familiar with the operation. "They were ferrying Saudi princes all over the U.S."

Nor does the complaint mention that a Hilliard-owned Lear jet is currently flying regularly to a remote island in the Bahamas, apparently without an FAA air carrier operating certificate.

The unauthorized flights in the federal complaint took place on three separate Lear jets owned by Wally Hilliard of Naples, FL., the self-same ‘retired’ 71-year old Midwestern insurance executive who bankrolled the flight school attended by both Mohamed Atta and Marwan Al-Shehhi.

...

The federal complaint reveals that the flights took place during April and May of 1999, raising questions about still-undisclosed ties to Saudis the men may have had before terrorists began arriving at their two hastily-purchased Florida flight schools.

More here, smelling a lot like drug running through the Bahamas (Even Adnan Khashoggi's name pops up. Just like old Iran/Contra times.):

1. kick

2. Hopsicker is the only journalist working this angle.

He's got excellent mainstream credentials despite his rather odd name, and his work on the CIA/Saudi/Al Qaeda/flight school nexus in Florida has been quite remarkable.

3. So Wally and Rudy are back

I was wondering what holes those two slimeballs had crawled back into.

I bet they helped out after 9-11 during the flight ban, getting the Saudis to their pickup points. Sure makes it easier when you can use unregistered jets?

5. actually, they did:

"I bet they helped out after 9-11 during the flight ban, getting the Saudis to their pickup points."

If I recall correctly from Hopsicker's Welcome to Terrorland, it was Hilliard's charter which flew Florida's Saudi royals to the Raytheon field and their awaiting 747.

4. one of the largest gaps in the "official" 9/11 story . . .

is the Saudi connection . . . the supposed hijackers were predominantly Saudis, many got here on expedited Saudi visas, bin Laden is a Saudi, the bin Ladens who were escorted out of the country were Saudis, etc. . . given the Bush connections to the Saudis and the bin Ladens, though, it's probably something that we'll never know the truth about . . .

7. no matter

how twisted and scary you can possibly imagine these traitors can be.

In reality it's much, much worse....
