Yes, and that pilot was controlling it well too. Notice he is diving slightly and is in a left bank. That plane was moving *very* fast and had he not turned left like he did he would have just missed the tower, shooting by it on the right side of it. He knew how to maneuver that plane. I am presuming it was the terrorist at the controls at that point. He must have been trained to control a high speed jet aircraft. Most ordinary people would never be able to do that. It's a *lot* harder to do what those three guys did than most people realize. Hitting targets like that at very high speed isn't easy. Even during WWII there are lots of photos of kamakazi pilots totally missing the ship they were aiming for, and they were traveling at much slower speeds than those jets today.
