" Why is this particular suicide mission requested from Iraqi AIR FORCE?? Did Iraq even have an Air Force in March of 2001??"
Iraq had an airforce during this period. But it was greatly diminished in structure and capability due to many of their fighter aircraft being flown to Iran during the first gulf war and never returned. I do not know how many Russian built jet transports they had in use. If they did have some Russian trained pilots on big jets, then perhaps goons could have been trained by them in general proceedure, and flight methods for handling large aircraft.
But that is not an issue as I see it. Guys like Atta where adequately trained to fly Boeing commercial jets once in the air. Take over the airplane cockpit, punch in the gps coordinates for flying the plane to the towers for instance, set the desired attitude, pull back the throttles a bit, push the wheel forward to decend to the low attitude, punch the autopilot button. Bingo. Plane flies itself to destination. When target in view, unset autopilot, aim plane for target. If you have to make a wild wide turn, course correction so be it, just do it, at this point one is not worried about passenger comfort in deep bank turn etc..
One does not have to understand very much about flying such an aircraft in this given scenario.

I understand how one trained in flight schools could have flew into the planes into the buildings and that Iraq didnt have much of an Air Force to begin with (my questions about the Iraqi Air Force were sarcastic). One of the arguments with resect to 911 is that these manuevers were hard for even experienced pilots and here you have guys wh attended flight schools supposedly doing advance maneuvers.

The important question remains with respect to this memo in that it requests volunteers in the Iraqi Air Force for a suicide mission 6 months before 9/11. The only air-oriented suicide attack after that memo is 9/11. Sure, it's coincidental but we have US memos also "predicting" hijackings before 911. Conspiracy theorists use these to say our govt knew that 911 was to occur. This is a memo from Iraq requesting what I would assume to be pilots from the Iraqi Air Force to perform a suicide mission six months before 9/11 - then 9/11 occurs. Call me wacky, but its looks somewhat suspicious to me!
