I wonder how Jordan will take it when the subpoena recipients for his committee's "investigations" over the handling of Trump and Hunter Biden similarly ignore their summons. Somehow I doubt he will think his own subpoenas are optional.

Here was TK’s response on the fb group last night.

Yes, cause the GLS is often bought for its towing abilities!

Both,, two sources for the black bills. Buried bills can turn black in the right conditions due to damp and mold and Tom found silver nitrate which was used to test for prints.. Silver Nitrate was never mentioned in the files but was a common test method for prints.. So, SN got on the bills at some point... unless they sprayed the ransom with SN before they gave it to Cooper then it would be from the fingerprint testing. Four systems used to test the Cooper money for prints.. no prints found. Buried money. BEP.

What is even worse is thinking that you beat Obama in 2016 and that Biden will lead us into WWII, while proclaiming your superior "mentality".

Yes, 60-year-old King Airs can be picked up for a song. Consider that Beechcraft started building King Airs in 1963 and more than 3,000 have been built. More King Airs have been built than all of the other light turbine twin executive transports combined (BAE Jetstream, Embraer Bandierante, Cessna 4??, Piaggio Avanti, Piper Cheyanne, etc.). A DZ can pick up a 60 year old King Air for a song, barely more than the value of the instrument panel and the time remaining on the engines. But long-term maintenance is far more expensive on King Airs with their pressurized cabins, retractable landing gear, de-icing boots, IFR panels, etc. King Airs also require hard-surfaced runways 3,000 feet (1 kilometer) or longer. All those extra systems also make King Airs more complicated to fly, hence not suitable for freshly-minted commercial pilots. Complex airplanes are also more expensive to insure. When my boss bought a 1960s vintage King Air, I asked him why he did not buy a simpler Cessna Caravan and he replied that his 1960s vintage King Air was the most that he could afford. A few years later he was complaining about spending $45,000 on a landing gear inspection due every 5 years. A few years even later he crashed the King Air because of some neglected engine maintenance. Bottom line, King Airs are the cheapest turbine jump-planes to purchase and you get what you pay for.

After a suggestion from an old FBI guy to Larry Carr that they used silver nitrate as fingerprint detection in the 70's they considered the mystery solved. It would of been nice if they gave the guy who’s initial were on ever bill a call (Max Jarrell) and just confirmed that he sprayed some of the bills with silver nitrate. I count six here in this photo, so was it the bottom and top bill of the three packets he tested, that would make sense. But when Tom tested the black bill. There were no rubber band marks, he looked for them on the bills.

That was my initial thought,,, was the SN sprayed on the bills before Cooper got them.. I looked into it. I found that bleach will remove a SN stain.. and SN has been sprayed on ransom money to mark it,,, it turns black due to light exposure.. and becomes useless. but I think that the SN was most likely from a fingerprint process.. Buried bills do turn black in damp conditions.. I do recall Brian previously mentioned that there were blackened bills.. if you look at images of the money it is clear the bills are blackened from silver nitrate. It has a bluish tint.. It was definitely sprayed with SN.. Tom proved that. “Ingram recalls how the bills were stuck together. Some pieces were larger than others. Others had darkened in color. “They still had rubber bands on them,” Ingram says. “I remember picking them up and the rubber band didn’t really break, but it kind of turned to powder. You could tell they hadn’t been touched.” Fazio.. “Prior, though, in his air-conditioned office Al told me he saw a lot of shards of Cooper twenties in all kinds of shapes and sizes, discolored and black, and in various states of decomposition.” https://www.oklahoman.com/story/news/1986/06/20/fairy-tale-ends-semisweetly-for-finder-of-jet-hijackers-loot/62722983007/ "While smoothing the sand, Brian, then 8, found $6,000 in three crumbling, blackened packets."

So, most likely, if the top and bottom bills were darkened prior to FBI testing for finger prints, it was mold right ? Or could there have been trace silver in the bank bag from possibly holding silver coins in the past that rubbed off on the bills ? Regardless, is there anything here that could be used to further the case ? If it was mold, what type of mold ? Under what conditions does the mold form ? Does that tell us anything new about the story of the money ?

I know that I, as well as most jumpers, were able to land single stage flare canopies much better, and more consistently, than the current crop of ZP canopies. Right now "no wind, slide it in!" Or the "run like hell before you face plant" are the techniques most jumpers use for landing. Canopy piloting education may help but just based on observation, today's canopies will continue to keep the riggers that do jumpsuit and container repair busy. Perhaps it time the canopy manufacturers used average jumpers as their testers vice the swooping community.

wow - this is all new to me. Someone told Tom the blackness was silver nitrate testing for prints by the FBI Lab - that may have come from Carr? - Tom mentions that on his website. So all of that (silver nitrate testing by FBI) is wrong ? Wait a minute..... those black bills lit up like Christmas for Ag under Tom's eds testing ??? Thats a strong indication for silver (Ag) . There is no question about those black bills lighting up for Ag ........ thats no accident. Tom couldnt understand why at first until Carr? told him it was the FBI's silver nitrate finger print testing. Brian seems to have another story for print testing? I hope he knows what he's talking about - has Brian ever talked to Tom about this ? Has Tom seen these articles ????? This is all new so far as I know ? ......... Pat mentioned fabric softer, bleach, and dish soap to me. I laughed when she said that because it was obvious they were really doing a cleaning job on that money! Brian says there were bands on the top and bottom bills, of his 'bundles' his word? Here we go again. How big were his 'bundles' if thats the correct word? Is Brian saying there were six bills in his money with bands on them ? I have Toms eds work - have posted some of it before. That is Tom's personal proprietary work so I had to be careful what I posted... Tom didnt seem to object. No question that his black bill lit up like a roman candle for Ag ... that is where the silver nitrate saga in our lives began! Truth is we were a little embarrassed we didnt make the connection quicker... Its late... I hope Tom has seen what has been posted here ? Congratulations to you guys! wow! I had no idea Brian had been interviewed about these technical details before...

The black bills. How did they get that way? Fingerprint dust, right? Silver nitrate. Apparently not. See comments from Brian Ingram in the screenshots. What could have caused the blackening of the bills in such a manner? Per Brian, they were darkest at the top and bottom of each packet, getting lighter towards the Center of the packet. And he describes how his mother was able to wash/lightened or restore them to ‘normal colour’, when put in bleach (after the fabric softener). That rules out being burned, or potential ash from the St Helen’s eruption, I’d think? It seems Tom Kaye among others were unaware that the bills were found that way.

Oh yeah. This thread will go on for another 5-6 years at least. There is no sympathy from this corner for Rudy. There will be many more by the time this is all done. trump supporters will be left by the wayside like so many foolish investors in his casinos and properties over the last forty years.

Are there any Ekranoplans left on the Caspian they could bring over? Totally useless but kinda cool, and blowing them up would be nice payback for the An-225.

Awesome!!!!!

And that, is not a "gun problem" that is a "people (mental health) problem."
