Complete and total bollocks. Hundreds of commercial and military
pilots from WWI, WWII, Korea onwards would disagree with you. Do you
think jet pilots in 1949 used sophisticated computer systems? Do you
think they used *any* computer systems?

Problem is you are talking obsolete vintage aircraft that were limited by
the technology of the time. But even in WWII rudimentary pathfinder
technology was used to allow the RAF Lancaster bombers to perfom night raids
on blacked-out German cities. basically this consisted of beamed radio
signals that crossed over the target area.

Of couse these days one could put a cruise missile through Bin Liners's
letter box.

The argument is about how can someone do the crash, without proper
training for it. That for such precise strikes - they had to have trained
for it, if they were piloted passenger jetliners.
There is the idea that they were remote unmanned aircraft, which will
then explain the accuracy achieved and the different markings
on the aircraft, and fuselage pod difference.
