Former FL Flight Mechanic Says More Kamikaze Pilots on U.S. Soil

Sierra Times Exclusive - By J.J. Johnson 09.14.01
(Says all air traffic should remain grounded for now)


Bill Foreman, an Army ex-special forces member and former flight mechanic,
believes American skies will not be safe until more Florida flight trainees
are picked up. As the dragnet is out in South Florida, the 34 year-old
computer network specialist spoke with Sierra Times about warnings he made
in connection with what happened on September 11, 2001 - well over a year ago.

From May of 1999 to about June of 2000, Bill Foreman was a flight mechanic
for Seagull Aviation, doing fleet maintenance for Ari Ben Aviators in
Ft. Pierce Florida.
Ari Ben is a FAA Rule 141 flight school. He told Sierra Times an estimated
25 Men with Arabic names were training just during the time he was
there. "They all paid cash", Foreman said.

Flight instructions for basic twin-engine aircraft can range from $150 to
$250 per hour. The Arab men were seen on occasion walking in with thousands.

Foreman described how, when working late at night repairing small single
and twin-engine planes, he would hear the Arab men talking behind
cubicles. "I heard them talk about how they hated America, and its
people". Foreman said upon being noticed, all the men would go back to
speaking Arabic. He admits getting into a heated discussion once over
their politics about America.

Later, Bill Foreman went to his supervisor, and even the flight school
owner over concerns about what he had overheard and told then several times
directly, "You're training terrorists here. They have no good intentions
for this training"
.
He was called 'paranoid'.

"From that point, I figured it was not a matter of 'if' but when."

Foreman contacted Sierra Times after a recent Miami arrest in connection
with the Tuesday attacks. Adnan Bukhari, a Vero Beach man who told a
witness he worked for Saudi Arabian Airlines. He reportedly was taken into
federal custody after the attack. According to local West Palm Beach news
he is cooperating with the authorities.

According to Foreman, Bukhari's bother died in a midair collision between
the twin-engine Piper Aztec and single-engine Piper Cherokee almost one
year ago. On September 12, 2000, West Palm Beach News reported that the
Cherokee's pilot was identified as Ameer Bukhari of Vero Beach, who was
making his first solo flight.

Both of these men, according to Foreman, spent time at the flight
school. And, as the dragnet continues in Florida, Foreman said, "there are
many more trained and qualified to fly today." He is very concerned that if
all the men he heard speak hatred of America are not picked up, more
attacks could happen.

Until the matter is dealt with, all air traffic should remain grounded,
according to Foreman.

"You learn how to fly in stages", said Foreman, an instrument rated
pilot. "You start on something small, like a single engine Cessna, then
work your way up. That's what these guys were doing," he said. He told
Sierra Times that some of these men were qualified as FAA Rule 135
operators, or able to fly cargo jets.

That was a year ago.

The former mechanic said, "I have contacted the FBI, and my local and state
reps about this matter. Many of them are still on the books
here". Foreman is wondering who will listen and insists that planes should
not be allowed in the air until authorities round up all these
people. "The federal government has taken every precaution it can - but
only for commercial traffic. You can still do a lot of damage with even a
small twin engine".
