Has anyone here used their flight sim program to fly into the WTC or Pentagon?

Please feel free to answer this thread honestly, everybody. Those muted whirring noises are not CIA anti-terror investigator department recording devices, so speak as loudly as you wish.

Don't have a flight sim program, but if I did, by now I can't see how I couldn't have done it.

Was it the latest version of Microsoft Flight Sim that had the WTC removed? Or was that another sim?
And personally, I don't own any flight sims.

No, though I would if I had played it since then. But I will admit to trying to fly my plane between the gap multiple times, and succeded too.

No he didn't
And I can honestly say that I never, ever, used my flight sim program to fly into the WTC or Pentagon.
No such thing in X-Wing:Alliance, and I have no other flight sim

When i get a flight sim i`ll fly under the Eiffel tower.

If I found them interesting, yeah I guess I would try it out of morbid curiosity, though I doubt any flight sim has the level of building damage modelling to make such an exercise fun.
For now, I content myself with strafing enemy convoys with my Il-2's 23mm VYa cannons when I'm looking for some mud moving action.

1. No Flight Sims (I wanna fix that)
2. No Joystick (I wanna fix that too)
3. I'd rather kamikaze into something else like Saddam's palace...

OOOH!! ME!
I did at the store, made a video of it, replaced it with the start-up video, and promptly escaped the store.
EDIT: Holy shit, I just typed that, and now I can hear sirens!

No, after a brief trip to the washroom, and the kitchen, I'm once again sitting in front of my computer. Now give me that cookie.

I have. I've also crashed into what was supposed to be my neighborhood, the Microsoft headquarters, my school, and the Atlantic Ocean. Yes, the Atlantic Ocean (running out of fuel while over the ocean is a BAD THING, I now know
)

Best I did was crash into the Statue of Liberty in one of the DOS based Microsoft Flightsims (before the decent texturing). Never did find the Twin Towers. Course this was a LONG time ago computer wise. Hell, the first WTC bombing hadn't occured yet.

Never have...only sims I have are European Air War and Jane's Fighter Anthology, and neither includes DC or NYC. I have crashed into an M3 tank (darn Me262 throttle stuck open while I was diving), a bridge (forgot to figure in the F-4's tail when checking clearance), and a Kiev-class carrier (got hit with a trio of SAMs while trying to pull out of a bombing run in an A-10).

I honor those that fly in defence of North America by ramming enemy aircraft when I'm out of ammunition. Those dog fighting Tu-22M's are annoying in IAF.

I accidently crashed into a building in downtown Chicago taking off from Meigs when I was first trying out MSFS. Flying with the keyboard is hard as shit.

I used to try to take off from the WTC helopad in a 737 and fly between them with the Sopwith in MS Flight Sim 98.

I don't have any games with the WTC or Pentagon, but any game with destructible buildings will have them all leveled. Either ram everything at full speed untill I run out of lives, or if I have weapons, carpet bomb everything. I usually do such things when it's more fun to destroy random things than to complete the mission.
