Pilot's School For Islamic Terrorists... In Daytona Beach?
Self | MB26

Posted on 09/11/2001 10:36:04 AM PDT by MindBender26

The terrorists who flew these aircraft into their targets obviously had some flight training.

A flight school in Daytona Beach, Florida has been training Islamic pilots for about 10 years. It is called Phoenix East Aviation and it's logo is very close to Iranian national symbol. It openly brings in pilots from Iran, Iraq, etc.

When the leader of the Islamic Jihad for (the liberation of) Palestine hid out at University of South Florida (see http://www.adl.org/presrele/IslEx_61/2588_61.asp) it was long rumored that Phoenix East "student" pilots flew him around country to meet with Islamic cells at US colleges and universities.

Commercial pilot licenses require 200 hours flight time, so much of that time in air is spent solo, unsupervised.

Think about it, fly VFR, no flight plans, no passenger manafests, etc.

Remember the name, Phoenix East.

Naw, I don't see a connection. Heck, terrorists rent Fords and wear Levi's, so what.

Many pilots also receive their training at the Florida Institute of Technology, located in Melbourne, Florida. There are quite a few from the Middle East...no known terrorist connections, but since the school is hungry for money and is private, the possibility of looking the other way is there.

Let me tell you, a former Arab country airforce officer, with one of the higher U.S. Govt. rated flight schools in Fort Pierce training pilots from God knows where and it is a small little place. Very little regulation compared to the larger schools like flight Safety in Vero. Some very strange folks come and go.

I won't ask how you know this information, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who is glad you posted it.

The address for Phoenix East Aviation:

561 Pearl Harbor Dr.

How appropriate.

You are right. In Greek methology, the Phoenix is a bird that rose from its own ashes, REBIRTH.

This is just a thought of course BUT, calling it Phoeniz East and Phoenix rises up right?? OK and from the EAST. hmmmm guess I need a tin foil hat but some of this stuff makes sense to me. I do not trust these people at all, they hate America and Americans so much I would not put anything past them in their plans to do even more horror to us.

The F.B.I. are investigating a Islamic charity in Dallas, and a web site that originates in Dallas. This was big news at the end of last week, now this.

Is he reading too much into this? I don't know...

Someone linked me into this article from this archive of Usenet posts, made by "xinoehpeol" (Leo Pheonix backwards). The thread was titled "911", originally posted 8/31, saying something terrible would happen. On 9/4 he posted that in 7 days he way "going away" and would not be heard from again.
