Hani Hanjour, one of the hijackers involved in the events of September 11, 2001, attempted to rent an aircraft at Freeway Airport after claiming to be qualified to do so.[3] A month before the attack, "instructors at Freeway Airport in Bowie flew with him and deemed him unfit to rent a plane by himself".[4]
