you keep claiming the placard has rivet signs?

why they hinged one and not the other is beyond me..NASA did the same thing. command mod had square cartridges while the LEM had round ones to control Carbon monoxide.

It's on a aluminum frame. pop rivets would not be the weapon of choice for a release of the panel.

pop rivets

I'm going to try something....I have 1/8 pop rivets and some thin plastic..

I use rivets a lot. this doesn't look like the work of rivets. only the top right could suggest it. the material is very thin and the pop rivet would fail quickly with force. the scale you show is much smaller than the card. it's somewhere around 6" in height. the panel in whole is somewhere in the 6 to 8" height. it would cover the holes.

I don't see any pop rivets on the decal on the door?

no need for any type of rivets..I have never seen a placard of this type attached that way.

the tear in the placard (middle bottom) shouldn't happen from the top down. the adhesive is usually pretty good. similar to what they put on cars being towed. it's hard to say how it got so damaged. Georger believes it was on exit. I'm not sure about that because it would also destroy anyone jumping out? all survived the blast. If the placard encroached on the top portion of the panel. it's possible the damage occurred that way once it was removed..

The damage could result from Cooper or the jet stream on it's exit..it looks like it was attached but wasn't other than adhesive. they are not riveted on the exterior either..

It's hard for me to scale it..I'm on a 100 inch diagonal screen. it's HUGE here. you can see where I added the break for the panel. the panel itself appears to be the same width as the normal control door.

They should of noticed the hole in the wall if he removed the panel...I think Hominid is right that adhesive held the placards in place. that's why I say it's like a decal. it was very thin plastic. they only use rivets or screws with plates with numbers on them or things they want to try and survive a crash. they originally wanted to test over a lake east of Seattle..

should look something like this...

If it stops just above the holes. no room for a placard? is there another pic to be found.. I didn't see the bottom portion. the placard would not be on that part. it's too small. the placard must of been above the panel or beside it..

the photo you showed looks to me as if the panel goes to the ceiling. that's where I noticed the metal strip stopped. I don't see a break in the middle.

somebody put the panel back in the stairwell. it can be seen in the photo above the door.

the 302's are very clear on the drop test. video and stills were taken. numerous pages surrounding the event. a similar amount would be found if a path simulation took place. nothing is in the files what so ever.

Plane arrives on the 5th.

The same time they were slating a date for the drop test. the path was already being searched by helicopters and fixed wing aircraft.

no, the file reads that it's available for day and night flights. I found tons of info surrounding the drop test. you would find similar amounts surrounding any path simulation. it also shows a pattern of delay's from the original time slated for late December. I spent a couple hours collecting the data.

Yes, this is what I've been telling you. they used another plane to cover sections at a time of the flight path.

"We cannot discuss the parachute found in the Amboy area. It is evidence in an ongoing case..." Correct, even if it turns out not to be evidence in the case. it's still considered evidence surrounding the case. you fail to understand this for years. If suspect # 27 is eliminated. ask them about him and you will get the same response. it's still part of the case.

The directions was given for those who don't know directions in degree's..

Cardinal Direction Degree Direction N 348.75 - 11.25 NNE 11.25 - 33.75 NE 33.75 - 56.25 ENE 56.25 - 78.75 E 78.75 - 101.25 ESE 101.25 - 123.75 SE 123.75 - 146.25 SSE 146.25 - 168.75 S 168.75 - 191.25 SSW 191.25 - 213.75 SW 213.75 - 236.25 WSW 236.25 - 258.75 W 258.75 - 281.25 WNW 281.25 - 303.75 NW 303.75 - 326.25 NNW 326.25 - 348.75

302 surround the 106/72 drop test..
