Then he was a fool. That’s not at all how explosives work. But to be fair, he only needed to fool his hostages. 

He claimed it was packed with detonators and plastic explosives...  it wasn't.

I have no plans to attend..

Sorry you don't plan on attending. I would enjoy meeting you along with meeting everyone else! I look forward to discussing the case in a more private setting. I am hoping a lot of the old timers are able to attend!  I guess I can always hope that you change your mind?

Honestly though, the only explanation you could have (and perhaps this is what you have) to explain such a discrepancy in personality would be that he was a complete lunatic and suffered from legitimate multiple personality disorder like something from a movie. I think we all understand that Hahneman was mentally disturbed but he behaves like an entirely different human than Cooper.

That will sadly never happen. It’s too bad though. He has no reason to be so shy. I mean, to not even go on Darren’s show is pretty wild. 

Although Georger never has either. I think he and Georger are the only two longtime Cooperites who haven’t.

No, nothing like that..

FWIW, I find Hahneman’s hijacking to be the most entertaining in retrospect. They apparently served drinks throughout the event to keep passengers calm and you’d swear that some of them were dead drunk by what they were doing onboard and what they said to the media afterward.

One of my favorites is a passenger asking the President of Eastern Airlines, former astronaut Frank Borman, to autograph his boarding pass once he got off the plane and recognized him in the terminal.

You better not be going down the Reca grift path of claiming that this mentally deranged loser was actually some super stud CIA asset.

I'll respect anybody's choice on this but I agree that it is disappointing. I believe they both would be excellent guests on Darren's show!

What is the value of him going on Darren’s podcast? Darren is a good guy, but it’s not like the podcast is Joe Rogan or something. Fly is a prolific poster and there is way more of his thinking on here than most. Anyone interested in what he thinks can just look here. 
 

For as much activity that goes on here, there is not a strong correlation with how the outside world sees Cooper. They think it’s McCoy or Loki or Rackstraw. Or Charles Westmoreland. Fly going on a show just for Cooperites will only be heard by Cooperites. If he has good info then it’s better that he holds it and delivers it outside the Vortex and not feel the need to get some blessing from people in the Vortex. 
 

Rick McCoy. Tom Colbert. R99. Jo Weber. Plenty of people have not been on that podcast. 
 

I got a text today from someone asking me about the new FBI files released. Like it was some big deal. I had to explain the real story. But that’s what the general public sees. 
 

Nicky pushing someone to come out more in public is a joke.

Personally I would also add Shutter to the list as well.

Has Darren ever had 377 on his show? Another I hope to meet at CC!!

Yes, it’s a classic episode. I had the treat of being in the hotel room when they recorded it, the day before Cooper Con 2019. Mark is a real gem, just the kindest warmest guy you will ever meet. He coined the term, The Cooper Vortex. If only one person in the world could know who Cooper was, I’d want it to be Mark without question. Looking forward to meeting you at The DB Cooper Conference this year Haggar!

Absolutely, has anyone talked to shutt lately? Noticed the forum part of his website has been down. I hope he’s doing okay.

That is a good point,,, these podcast/videos are for Cooper people... doing something for the general public is a completely different ballgame... I have discussed Cooper with top level media off the record and you need to build a base foundation of case facts just to start.. very challenging and time consuming. I imaging Ryan has faced this issue with his book,, balancing a Cooper audience with the public audience level knowledge.

But Nicky's whining is a red herring, it makes no sense to criticize me for not doing Cooper media, Georger hasn't done any either. I have done more media by reach than anyone in the Cooper world..  So, it isn't the real issue, Nicky is threatened and is throwing anything he can grab at me in a tantrum because he can't articulate his fear.. just lies and misinformation to discredit. 

Nicky represents the toxic nature of the Vortex that undermines the advancement of the case..  he needs an intervention.

Tina went to the front approx 4 minutes after takeoff..

The rear lights were OFF...  when she went forward and last saw Cooper standing

About 8:00 Tina saw the stair light go on... shortly after Cooper said he was having trouble with the stairs..  that indicates the lever was moved out of the up/lock detent a second time...
