Yeah, that's another thing. You are saying that a pilot with no actual experience flying that sort of plane was able to fly that close to the ground, and hit a the target?
Presumably he intended to dive into the pentagon from above, as the other two planes dived into their target from above, missed, and pulled out of his dive at the last minute. He went in the first floor, but his landing gear and one of his engines came out the second floor, suggesting that he had pulled out of his dive and was actually climbing when he hit. Consistent with this, he also hit the Pentagon off center relative to his direction of approach. He was flying North East, and hit the west side of the Pentagon, not the south west side of the Pentagon. Looks like extremely bad piloting that almost missed completely, not brilliantly good piloting. He nearly missed the pentagon by nearly crashing west of the pentagon, and nearly crashing on the road before reaching the pentagon.
