pernit{__] to accompany them. We know that[__]Hanjour
had overlapping periods of training at Arizona Aviation. We have
witnesses who stated that they socialized together. The
indicators which show provided training to
Hanjour are derived from the following: (1) a computerized
record revealing that Hani Hanjour was signed up to be a member
of the Sawyer School of Aviation Simulator Club (hereafter
referred to as Sawyer) on 6/23/2001; moreover, this was the same
date that Rayed Abdullah, Faisal Al-Salmi and Lotfi Raissi also
signed up for the simulator club;. and, et)
statement that four individuals were observed together at Sawyer,
Rayed Abdullah, Faisal Al Salmi, Lotfi, the Algerian Flight
Instructor and a fourth individual with physical characteristics
similar to Hanjour who she subsequently picked out of a photo
line up as being the fourth individual. Please note that she was
not 100% certain that it was Hanjour. She described him as being
a shadowy guy, Arab looking, 5’6" tall, short cut dark hair,
maybe some facial hair, with a thin "wiry build." Sawyer’s
records regarding people entering the facility and utilizing the
simulator were not complete, that is, people frequently brought

their visit or an attempt to identify them.

simulators are exceptionally well suited for training on
instrumentation.

Hanjour only took the flying lessons because he was directed to,
not because it was his ambition to become a pilot. Hanjour had
tremendous difficulties progressing in his training and had
started over on at least one occasion. Therefore, he needed the
additional simulator training to develop the skills to perform
his mission, that is, flying the plane into the Pentagon.
