Ryan - you said on tonight’s live that both V23 and V27 “go out south from Seattle.” It’s at the 41 minute mark. This was part of your point that a Cooper didn’t give enough instructions and they could have taken the alternative route of V27.

I’m not an aviation person. What I see on this map is that V27 takes the plane from SeaTac to Ocean Shores, WA. That’s not south. It’s damn near due west. Cooper is wearing a parachute. The coast means death to him. He accepts a plane flying straight west why? 

Technically you’re right, they could have gone that way. They could have gone north too. Both are not the agreed upon direction.

Cooper was clear, no coast airports and only airports to the south. The idea he was going to be cool with the plane going west after just negotiating south I don’t understand and I see no evidence for it.

West is also the worst direction for Cooper. 

My point is, they discussed it in the cockpit but it’s not what Cooper demanded or agreed to. There’s no evidence he would have accepted it, there’s plenty of evidence he wouldn’t have.
