In my local news, here in Florida, a picture of a very nice Black Bunny F-4 Phantom (ducted fan, or turbine?) was shown to be one of the planes he was trying to use in his plot.
I got first dibs on that jet when it is released.
On another point, this guys' plan was severely flawed. Cyclonite (C4) will not explode upon impact. It is a very stable compound. Cyclonite needs a detonator, which this guy didn't know.
I doubt very much that this lunatic would be able to fly a plane through a window while he is half a mile away, and after it crashed, be able to activate a detonator. Totally ridiculous.
Totally in agreement, this wannabe is not the sharpest tool in the shed. If you try to purchase on line of some of the stuff he was attempting to purchase, you are in for a surprise at delivery time. No, that is not really the UPS guy:-) On the other hand, lunatics like this one are better not in circulation.
One reporter wrote about 80" wingspan models able to carry 50 lb:-) I want a jet kit of those:-)
