Terror Flight School Owners flew Saudis on "unsupervised flights" over USA [View All]

[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.):
