sounds like him, I will pass it on to the Maureen, very nice older woman just trying to find out what happened to a friend she once knew, she is hoping to find a photo of him, 377 mentioned in 2008 of knowing this person perhaps he can shed some more light.

here is her reply....Yes, that would be him; I do appreciate it so much. It fills in a few blanks for me here.
Thank you for your kindness!

No. I looked for a date but didn't see one. There's more info about him on this if she wants a death certificate. Never married, Student at University of CA when he died. He was honorably discharged from USAR Dec 72 after fulfilling his term of service.

Here’s the NTSB report about the prop strike:

http://www.ntsb.gov/aviationquery/brief.aspx?ev_id=41151&key=0#

Little information, but it says he was partially deaf. The aircraft was a 1956 Cessna 182A (Skylane) with a registration of N5878B.
The aircraft is still airworthy and in Yakama, WA:

Thanks guys, this has made her day, feels good to do something for someone who has been searching and found nothing and in just a few short hours the team work was able to achieve everything she was looking for.

Good job A+

Now, if we could just do this with Weber, I mean KC...no LD...oh crap, the dude that jumped from the plane a long time ago

Dumb question time - I guess PAX stands for passenger?

Never mind - Through the power of the internet, I found out more than I ever wanted to know about the origin of the abbreviation PAX.

PAX does in fact mean passenger smokin99. It’s not dumb, just jargon which is commonplace in the ‘biz’. Plus chicks dig it when a man gets all pilot-y and says:

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh welcome aboard Flight 305, non-stop Denver with a time of ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh one thirty-six with ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh winds light and unlimited visibility. We’ll push away once all the PAX are seated and ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh begin our engine start procedures. So sit back and be sure to ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh keep those belts low and tight ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh and if you need any extra assistance you can ahhhhhhhhhh call on ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Stay ahhhhhhhh cee or ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Tri ahhhhhhhh sha who will ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh be glad to ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh chooo excuse me ahhhhhhhh assist ahhhh have a nice flight.

lol...I like your explanation a lot better.
I always wondered what they were saying and never quite understood why they said anything. I guess to let us know that someone is driving the bus.

You guys did a really nice thing for the lady and I hope she appreciates the expertise within this thread. It proves we are not just one of the so called Chat Rooms.

You are right - wouldn't it be wonderful if it was that easy to unravel the past of Weber. The journals we hope will be made available to us pretty soon - that should throw more light on the past of Weber and his life.

Hello. I've posted about this already, but this is the first "hit' I've been sent. Is anyone "out there" who remembers Eric and knows more about the circumstances of his death? I'm an old (OLD) school friend and we lost touch long ago; then I heard last year that he had died, and I've been wondering ever since what happened. Can't even find an obit after so much time has passed. If you can help me out, I would really appreciate it.

Maureen,

I see my colleagues here have filled you in on the tragic details of Eric's death. I jumped with him at Livermore CA. He was partially deaf and some thought that might have played a role in the accident. Eric was far more skilled than I was and helped me quite a bit in learning how to do stable maneuvers. Eric is still missed by me and all the Cal Club members who knew him.

Note that things have really gotten quiet. Something is getting ready to happen or is it just the upcoming 41st anniversary?

Wonder why Georger had to attend a meeting about this BS!

The family journal Duane's parents kept - has been kept very private. His sister asked me to "leave the past in the past". She went on to give her reasons and remember she thought I was Duane's prior "common law" wife until she met me in 2004 after I remarried.

It was at that time Duane's brother was going to share some things with me. We do know he supposedly documented Duane had parachute training. His brother and Richard Tosaw knew each other and I was given the impression at dinner that night before the call came while we were eating that his sister (Duane's sister) was in the hospital with a heart attack.

I got to meet her very briefly that evening - and she seems very relieved that I was not the woman she met in 1971. She lived only a few miles from the location one of the letters was mailed from. Strange set of co-incidences!

Her reason stated for leaving the past in the past was because she did not want her friends to know about Duane. Please NOTE she not one time denied Duane was Cooper - not once. She had shared what she knew with her brother and the brother was going to "share" some of it with me plus whatever he had acquired thru his relationshipe with Tosaw.

Since Galen Cook was given access to Tosaw's records - by his sister - I wonder what Cook may have missed, but perhaps he did NOT miss it. This is basically when he pulled out of his support of Gossett....Gossett seemed to die on the vine so to speak within a couple of yrs of Tosaw dieing.

Is this me connecting dot? Probably - but, I always look for the positive and it gives me hope the FBI has decided to look a little more closely at Weber. Especially, since I have found FLAWS in their investigation and their explanation of Weber that NEEDS explaining. Not just to me but to the public.

The supposed letter regarding the code sent to Reno or Los Angeles - was Duane's way of saying catch me!

To this day I do NOT know if the code letter was a plant by someone who knew Duane and his navy and army number or if the letter to the newspaper actually existed.

I went over the information again recently and the FBI has never replied to my email a couple of yrs ago about the existence of the letter and the code. Why can't they just email me or pick up the phone and say - it never existed or yes it did exist. This supposed letter does not seem to be mentioned in the conversations about Cooper by the FBI to the media.

So was someone hoaxing me or was such a letter ACTUALLY sent to the Reno paper?

Unknown to me until after Duane died he had opened a safe deposit box in Pensacola at the Citizens & Peoples National Bank of Pensacola. I found the receipt in his wallet and since I was not allowed to go back when they opened the box since my name was not on the account.

I presented his will and birth certificate and old ID and death certificate. A bank clerk and the head of that office unlocked the vault - I was not allowed into view the opening since I was NOT on the account. All that was in the box was a magazine.

1664143 for $35.00 on Feb. 26 1990. That date is important and you will know why later on.

The box was number 14.

Remember Duane had flown to another state after starting diaylsis - without telling me. A place he took me to in 1980 after the news about the FOUND money in WA appeared in the Colorado newspapers. Shortly thereafter he left of the South leaving me with a daughter whose birthday and graduation was coming up. He came home only briefly for her graduation, but quized her about one of the coaches in her school The ONLY question Duane ever asked her about her school or instructors.

Same name as Tina's married name! That I found ODD only after I started to research things in 2000 after getting frustrated with the FBI. I do not believe the two had any connection other than the same last name and being a coach or involved in sports. If there was a connection I never found it nor did I ask Tina about it.

Jo, With all the time that Duane spent in jails and prisons, it appears that the fuzz always had the cuffs on him before he could finish that sentence!

What kind of special glasses do you use so that you can see "codes" in Duane's service number where, in reality, no such "codes" exist?

To repeat for about the 1000th time, your theory about codes in his service number is pure baloney!

The code sent to the paper challenged them to find him if they broke the code:

7698QA2753

July (7)was when Duane was put out of the Army even though his mother and he had made pleas for the Navy to drop the Bad Conduct dismisal

Duane joined the Navy and the Army - he was NOT drafted.

Army serial # 35608905
Navy serial #283-56-96

I believe when I first approached this subject 2 yrs ago - I got the last 2 numbers of the code turned around.

Does anyone know if this supposed letter to a news paper actually existed?

Note was sent to the LA Times on Dec 14 1971...supposedly from D.B. Cooper.

I believe below is the decoded message. IT does NOT work with random numbers.

It is done in patterns - like smilies w/eyes he uses 7 as the turn around number because it was the month his life would forever be changed - he became an outcast from his family and unemployable - he had no choice but to become a career criminal...



7698QA2753 (the code provided to the paper from Cooper).

I am repeating this because I got the last 2 number turned around when I typed it into the thread a long time ago.

Army 35608905
Navy 283-56-96

Example use the Navy number
283-56-96 versus -
7698QA2753

July was the 7th month and the day the he was dismissed as an undesirable. Why 7 is the turn around number.

96 last 2 #'s in Navy #'s
Use 7 and reverse 96 to 69
gives you 7 69.

Use the same on the last two number of the code - 53 becomes 35 after the turn around number.
giving you 7 53

now you have 7 69 and 7 53

Q is Question - A is Answer.
The 8 and the 2 reversed are the 1st 2 number of his Navy number

This equates to 769 8 QA 2 753.

The same system works on his Army number.

35608905

7698QA2753
3560 - 8905
Reverse 35 to get 53
Reverse 89 to get 98
so now you have
xx98QAxx 53
July is 7th month
7x98QAx753 versu
left
x6xxQA2xx
2 is the first number of the Navy
6 is the last number of the Navy
reverse their order

7698QA2753

Now U guy dismissed this, but it is all about smilies and it is a not a joke or me putting things together.

Why DON"T ONE of you sharp researchers check the Los Angeles Times and see if they actually received a note from Cooper on the above date. I do NOT have the capabilities to do so, but made a phone call speaking with the oldest journalist there a few yrs ago. He was polite but not interested enough to dig into the archives to see if such a letter existed.

Surely now with all of the new technology someone can check the archives of the paper before and after the date I have and see if this letter to the paper actually existed.

Remember the code written in the back of Duane's old book with the Chicago number in it?
I asked Duane the numbers written right above it. I do not remember what he told me other than a code he had to use.

I do NOT know if the CODE provided to the Los Angeles Times are the same numbers that were in the back of that book - very last page with the XYZ. I do NOT have a photographic mind - but a good memory.

I also do not know if this is a hoax and someone messing with my mind. The source was legitimate - and the only person with access at that time to the Navy # and the Army # was Sluggo and the FBI.

NOW someone disprove that NO newspaper ever received this code.
