Their goal was to blow up the Twin Towers and they knew that a attempt in any other way would fail. Blowing up the towers from the base had all ready been tried and it failed. The use of planes by the 19 Saudi men had been explored for several years ( it came up in the Clinton administration) and it was a weak point in the defense of the towers. When they were built in 1974 they were advertised as a safe place against a plane flying into them. They found out they could get the flight training without anyone paying attention and they could take several flights on one morning to make a real impact against the US.
