From 911Encyclopedia:
Minnesota Rep. Jim Oberstar, was mentioned in an article on the "20th hijacker", Moussaoui,HabibZacarias: "After his arrest, Pan AM learned that Moussaoui had flown 57 hours in a Cessna 152 in Oklahoma but never soloed, an accomplishment usually achieved after 20 hours." "Do you realize how serious this is?" the instructor asked an FBI agent. "This man wants training on a 747. A 747 fully loaded with fuel could be used as a weapon!" http://www.startribune.com/stories/1576/913687.html
The still-unidentified flight instructor became wary of Moussaoui immediately, according to Oberstar. According to Oberstar, PAN AM listed two of the other hijackers in their schools, too: Hanjour,Hani, who couldn't speak english and Atta,Mohammad, who sent an inquiry, but them decided to learn in Venice, Florida.
