Modeling AA11

I think it's pretty clear the thing in the Naudet 1st hit clip* doesn't look much like a 767-- it's clearly too short. Surprisingly the "wings" and tail aren't too bad for a 767 but the body is much too short and thin for a 767-200 -- it's not even close:

I like how the wings seemed to have disintegrated BEFORE they hit the wall!

Wow... still playing video games and thinking it's real life, huh Spook?

And suprise, suprise, KKKilltown is lapping it up.

You know I tried flying a gryphon into the mage tower in Stormwind in World of Warcraft and the "bird" wouldn't respond to my commands?

maybe you should look into that?
