Events

A former Captain for Northwest Airlines, Prevost was assigned to teach Moussaoui at the Pan American Flight Academy in Eagan, Minnesota, in August 2001 but immediately saw that Moussaoui did not have enough experience to hope to obtain a license to fly a jumbo jet. He soon grew suspicious of Moussaoui and reported him to the authorities.
