FLYJACK

Born in 1994?

You should celebrate with a Bourbon and Seven-Up... Which Bourbon did Cooper have?? "NO TIPPING PLEASE"

It is definitely a sign... and Happy Birthday Darren,,,

Almost forgot,, Happy 99th birthday to D B COOPER..... if he were still alive. (unless he using his altered ID)

The bomb was fake because dynamite is tan argument has always bothered me... There is red dynamite. Dynamite was made by many companies some very local. For example, this is vintage ditching dynamite made by CIL, a Canadian company, they sold amunition products to the US, haven't confirmed the dynamite specifically but I believe they did. Note, very little writing on the sticks, if it was taped and turned no writing would be noticed. It doesn't mean the bomb was real, just the argument that if the sticks were red it was fake = BUSTED.

Hard to tell the weight of the material in pics especially when it is so caked with dirt. Silk shows signs deterioration after 4 years buried in soil, if it was silk it was buried for less than 4 years... But, it looks like the Amboy chute won't be resolved without more info. No idea if it is silk or not,, and if not there is no way to confirm it was Cooper's.

1946 silk parachute on ebay.. https://www.ebay.com/itm/294192214941

This is claimed to be silk but has crosshatch ripstop pattern, apparently there was silk ripstop made, though this is Vietnam era.. https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/1968-vietnam-era-navy-switlik-silk-1874650796 I don't see a crosshatch here..

There may be something different in the construction of cargo chutes for the weight.. IDK

So, I know nothing about parachute construction. This is the Amboy chute edge seam and line attachment,,, does it indicate anything? cargo vs personal?

Dennis Levanen, who lives in the Heisson area, said he vividly remembers the airplane flying directly over his house on Thanksgiving Eve in 1971. He quibbles with the FBI’s flight path of the airplane, noting that it appears several miles west of where it actually flew. “It was just huge and roaring,” he said. “It was under a lot of power to keep it airborne, going as slow as the guy demanded.” Dennis Levanen lived 1 mile directly North of the Heisson store.

Here Portland ground wind SW at 8 and S at 8:30...

Finally, found it...

I don't really have an opinion on the Amboy chute but a few things.. The find location I have is 5 miles due E from the FP, that is extreme for a drift. The sled test showed no violent increase in fluctuations/oscillations until after the weight was dropped, very little change when a man went down the stairs and stood at the end. That indicates the 8:10-12 timeframe is the sweet spot. The winds were not known at the 8:10-12 location and time. Robert99 and (Ulis) are incorrect in asserting as fact the winds were from the SW at that time... The data is not precise, it is averaged over an hour and using Portland as a proxy is a stretch, it is too far from the 8:10-12 area. The fact is, based on other wind data the winds were shifting in the area around that time from SE to SW.. The best we can say is the winds were from SE to SW at the 8:10-12 time along the FP. You cannot say as a fact the winds were from the SW at that time/location, there is no data that shows that. Even the FBI used Portland and Salem data hourly averages as a proxy... it is just not precise enough. Here is the Portland wind data average between 8 - 9... note elevation is virtually the same direction as the ground. Portland and Salem was used as an "ESTIMATE"..

Cooper supplied the first note.. Miss, I have a bomb.... My notes say "MISS" printed and the rest cursive.. but I can't find the source,,, I have thousands of docs to wade through.. this is what I could find.. Flo,, "felt-tip pen" "plain paper" "neat, legible handwriting"

Anybody remember the source for Cooper using cursive writing?? My notes say it was in a FOIA but I can't find it.

"Simply put, the DZ is uncertain because the flight path is uncertain, likewise the issue of the oscillations vs bump (pressure fluctuation) which occured. Ckret was of the opinion that the oscillations and bump were two distinct events. Good luck - Georger" Above Georger in 2009 refers to the bump as a "pressure fluctuation". He was correct then.. now he denies it. At 8:11 The crew reported "cabin fluctuating" and At 8:11 crew comms "at the present cabin is fluctuating" The fluctuation is a "bump" even Georger admitted it.. Remember Anderson said it was the largest (bump) by far, that means many "fluctuations". The FBI analysis got it right no matter how times Georger posts misinformation or Chaucer pouts.

Chaucer's claim is flawed... he has no legit argument, just an opinion. An opinion everyone has considered. He has brought nothing new except a few hypocritical comments. but, He builds on the speculative claim that the pressure bump was some completely different event much later than the 8:11 oscillation report by the crew AND the FBI analysis was completely wrong. If the crew didn't use the term "Pressure Bump" at 8:11 then it didn't happen then, he claims. Not only is there no evidence for this but it is contradicted, reminds me exactly of the Western FP. It is a childish interpretation. The FBI and the crew would have easily figured out a big delay or a material distinction. The crew believed the 8:11 time frame. The lights of Portland is NOT over the Columbia. Anderson said largest "pressure bump" of all... aka many.. Chaucer need to show the error in the FBI analysis... he can't because he only has an opinion. The "pressure bump" that Anderson referred to was the last largest one FELT by the crew, oscillations were SEEN on the gauge, they are measures of the same thing, pressure fluctuations. Fluctuations were also mentioned in crew comms at the "8:11" time. The FBI did NOT only use the report of oscillations. There were also reports of fluctuations and a violent reaction on the gauge matched the sled test "exactly". Chaucer has misunderstood the evidence and found himself a victim of the Vortex, it will turn you mad and hostile when others don't share your delusion. Nobody agrees 100% with anybody else. When your ego is supported by being right and you play in the Vortex you do pay a high price, negotiable American currency..... bank strapped in packets of 100's.. Enter the Vortex at your own peril.

He seems real nice... “the greatest scholars are not usually the wisest people” ― Geoffrey Chaucer

A liar just like Georger.. nobody likes liars.

It isn't my theory,,, and you added nothing to the topic, ZERO, NADA.. There is a small minority of Cooper people who are not capable or worthy of respectful discussions.. You are one of those. You can discuss it all you want,, just not with me. I just don't care what you think or have to say.

No, your point is to ram and bully your baseless theory down everybody's throat. You are wrong, it does require a rejection of the evidence. I have pointed it out but you just ignore it. And you are still making false claims about me, that is why I left Shutter's site. I got tired of the lies and BS... I have always maintained that it could be 8:10 to 8:15 (around Battle Ground). Carr's suggestion is irrelevant, he had no evidence for it, it was just a theory. I find most people use the appeal to authority fallacy rookies.. always look for the argument under the conclusion, Carr had none. The area to the Columbia was suggested before the sled test and analysis was done. There was no evidence for it, just speculation. And the 8:10-8:15 DZ is not my theory, it came from the FBI analysis. I just agreed with it after analyzing all the information available.. STOP CALLING IT MY THEORY As for the crew statements,, we don't have access to all the communications and discussion but the FBI did. Anderson said the sled test was exactly the same, during the sled test the gauge reacted "violently". If Anderson were correct then the gauge also reacted violently during NORJAK. So nothing you screeched above contradicts that FBI DZ analysis. NOTHING. All you have a baseless opinion. That is it. You can't even answer a simple question,, What do you know that the FBI didn't? yes, it is a trick question. It isn't even new, everyone has considered it and I spent time researching it but found no evidence for it. You have added nothing to it. ZERO Look, your goal seeking opinion is set that is clear, that won't change.. you are scrambling to maintain it resorting to lies and fallacies... I am done with you.

And I just checked for it this morning... Hope there something new in there..

I am a professional, I have a degree in parsing... Did I mention that I solved a 45 year old case... they want to do a documentary on it but Covid has messed it up. I might be the only Cooper sleuth that actually solved an old case. but, generally, I process all the information and determine what best fits within its frame.. a sort of informal application of logic and reason. The Columbia landing theory just doesn't fit well. You need to reject some info to make it fit, like jamming a round peg in square hole, Ulis style. If there was a large (8 minute) time span between the 8:10/11 report of oscillations and pressure bump it would have been exposed by evidence or the crew during the analysis. I have some document where they referred to them as "pressure fluctuations" but have been unable to find it.. I must have thousands of documents..

Not really, you kept saying over there.. that I was confused.. that is an opinion. I don't share your assessment of the pressure bump/oscillations. Pressure fluctuations cause oscillations. Oscillations were noted on the gauge but in this context the last "pressure bump" was larger and felt by the crew. So, for NORJAK all pressure bumps are oscillations, however the crew described the largest one as the "pressure bump" because of the magnitude. It is like the terms Chevrolet and Corvette.. They are cars (pressure fluctuations), a Chevrolet (Oscillation) and Corvette (pressure bump)... A Corvette is a Chevrolet but is a unique subset. A Pressure bump is an oscillation but is a unique subset. It was larger and physically felt. That is why the FBI used them interchangeably, the so called "pressure bump" differed only in magnitude, A unique oscillation. Since, the sled test showed that the frequency and magnitude increased after the weight dropped and Anderson said it was exactly the same as NORJAK, that supports it happening within seconds, not minutes. The crew saw minor oscillations on the gauges.... for some time. About 8:10/11.. They got a cabin increase in frequency/magnitude (reported it) ending with the largest pressure bump (felt a thud). That did not last 8 minutes. If Anderson was correct about the sled test it would be a very brief period. No major fluctuations were felt after the final "pressure bump". The crew was unsure what happened, discussed it and used the term "pressure bump" in retrospect. It is possible (I said anything is possible) the money landed near the Columbia but not for the reasons you claim. It would not be the time duration of the oscillations/pressure bump sequence but due to timing error for the FP. However, the lights of Portland really makes that unlikely, that indicates N of Vancouver, not over the Columbia. The FBI also had crew comms, plane data and access to the crew that we don't have, so it is a high bar to show that they got it so wrong. I found a gross error by the FBI but I have several pieces evidence that proves they were wrong or lying. Finally, everyone considered a Columbia landing when the money was found, it is human nature to find a cause in a correlation.. you can theorize but like the Western FP, you need evidence. So, a near Columbia landing is a theory, with no supporting evidence and even contradictory evidence. Unless something new comes up, the FBI DZ is where I believe Cooper landed. Ariel to around Battle Ground/Brush Prairie. and Ulis is famous, he solved the Cooper case... it was clearly TK IMO,, if the pressure bump (jump) was virtually over the Columbia next to the Airport,, the crew would have known it and expressed it. The crew would have been acutely ware of their location there.
