FLYJACK

The description of the Seattle Center ARTCC actions are corroborated by FBI files, transcripts, Himmelsbach and also Gray's book.. Seattle Center controlled the flight from Seattle to the California/Oregon border. The Seattle team was... ARTCC R2 ARTCC R5 ARTCC R6 ARTCC R10 The chase planes were co-ordinated by Seattle Center. They were in contact with the chase pilots. Seattle Center must have known the 305 flight path to do this. The dashes in the transcript may be the deleted ARTCC comms with chase planes. Putting together all the pieces, there is no way there was an alternate western flight path. The western flight path theory is DEAD and should be relegated to the Vortex dust bin.

Seattle Center was tracking the 727 and directing the F106's to trail at 5 miles.. No way they got the flight path wrong..

The FBI report is NOT clear. If you read it very carefully it says that Hayden furnished two back chutes to NorthWest Airlines but it skillfully stops short of claiming both those chutes went to the hijacker. It says both of the chest pack chutes were furnished to the hijacker. That is completely consistent with Hayden getting back a chute he sent to NorthWest that wasn't forwarded to the plane. The packing card/SN did not match. Where does it confirm both of Hayden's chutes went to the hijacker??

In 1976 Cossey claimed to get the back chute Cooper left in the plane... Hayden also claimed to get the chute left in the plane,, but it doesn't match the packing card description/SN noted by the FBI.

Eric's Cooper Con and vids were done to promote himself and sell his mostly stolen and extremely speculative Sheridan narrative to a production company.. He isn't interested in facts or truth, he is goal seeking. He used the Cooper community to steal work, gain cred and patch together a bogus narrative to sell. Anybody thinking of getting involved should do their homework on Eric and the Cooper case before wasting time and money..

You don't respond to facts which contradict your fantasy narrative..

I have done more analysis on the tie. Based on several variables I've identified it was manufactured early 1964 to very late 1964.. It was likely sold early/mid 1964 - early 1965. It was NOT 1963. Oddly, the FBI docs had claimed the tie was only 1-2 years old based on talking to a Pennys manager. The FBI docs aren't facts, they are investigative "notes". But, the tie had 6-7 years to collect those particles and there may have been several environments that contributed..

Ok, complete garbage.. grasshoppers? seriously. You are using an exaggeration and fabrication to dismiss evidence you don't like... A LIE. This is an example of why you have zero cred in the Cooper case, IMO. The bill you have is very uniform, not all bills are as uniform. Other bills have very different characteristics. First, you can't really compare 1980 bills to the earlier series. Try it with the same series to be accurate. You claim the outside 75% was eaten by organisms. Nonsense. The outside deteriorated due to the wet dry cycling and abrasives. Some bills have matching bore holes going through the packet, not from the edges. Those holes are consistent with termites, your mockery and red herring BS is ignorant or intellectually corrupt. What it does point out is that the notion that the rubber bands were "intact" is ridiculous. It is more likely there were brittle rubber band frags stuck to the top/bottom bills, Tosaw claimed only the two full packets had rubber bands the one missing some bills didn't. ?? The evidence suggests there were several factors causing deterioration.. wet/dry cycles, abrasion, bacteria and possibly insects.. The real problem with your naive "educated analysis" is that you conclude the money had to be buried by human intervention. There is no evidence from that bill or any bill that supports this.

Found something interesting.. A 727 pilot Ziad Afra had an incident taking off in Rome.. The rear airstairs weren't locked up and there was no light in the cockpit to indicate.. the stairs fell down and dragged on take off. He continued and took off with sparks flying. They pulled the door up and locked in flight and it had melted away half an inch of the airstair. This occurred sometime after 1970, but I can't find the date or any record. There is no date or airline mentioned.. trying to determine if it was pre or post Norjak. Ziad Afra was a pilot from 1960-1990.

The order of events is crucial... His initial demand was rear stairs opened in flight,, that was with no stops in the US. When they agreed to land in Reno, Cooper's plan changed and he jumped earlier. He didn't want to be on the plane when it landed in Reno. When he readily accepted landing in Reno for fuel he had decided to jump earlier than planned. He then wanted the stairs down early.

He initially demanded flaps down,, Tosaw claims, they were trying to calculate the range and needed the exact flap setting, they went back to Cooper and asked, he then said 15 degrees. Cooper was prompted for it (according to Tosaw) and that is significant. I can't confirm this but have no reason to doubt it. If this is the case we don't really know if he meant 15 degrees all the way or not.

Everyone, including myself assumed Cooper wanted to jump ASAP.. this was supported by the idea that Cooper initially demanded rear stairs down on takeoff, makes sense. The transcripts clearly indicate he initially wanted them lowered in flight by the stew then the crew started negotiating with him. The pilots had a plan to escape. Cooper later decided he wanted the rear stairs down on take off, then partial, presumably to allow Tina off the plane. He then decided again to have them lowered in flight. The airstairs down on take-off idea came from the negotiation with the crew, it was not his initial or final demand. The point is contradicted in some 302's, but they are less reliable than transcripts. FBI 302's are notorious for inaccuracies, by the nature of their production. I found an FBI document that 100% supports the transcript.. which means that Cooper did NOT initially demand rear stairs down on take-off and therefore there is no evidence he wanted to jump ASAP or outside Seattle. Note. he also demanded no landing in the US "for fuel or anything". Why make an unachievable demand that would be rejected? Note. the plane was at flaps 30 not 15. I think Cooper said flaps down, then when prompted for a number said 15 degrees. (per Tosaw). This communication vagueness may be where the range got messed up for Cooper. He may have intended 15 degrees for his jump, not the entire flight. Note. Reno was suggested to him.

Eric has a knack for self promotion... "Eric began investigating the DB Cooper mystery about 10 years ago with the goal of gaining a better understanding of the facts in the case and bringing some clarity to the legend. Initially, he did not think he would actually identify a suspect." Sheridan Peterson was Sailshaw's suspect, he pushed the FBI .. Eric has done nothing. https://themountainnewswa.net/2018/01/27/db-cooper-world-loses-a-sleuth-remembering-bob-sailshaw/

Eric Ulis is the Cooper Con… The FBI did not confirm the placard came from Norjak. In fact, they raised doubts. Eric claims it as fact, it isn’t. Eric also claims the wind direction at the placard location as fact, it isn’t the FBI docs state it is an ESTIMATE based on Portland and Salem data over 50 miles away from the placard location. Eric has taken 2 assumptions, intentionally elevated them to fact to contradict real case evidence. Now, when Eric is confronted with the F106 FBI docs confirming the FBI flight path he changes his theory.. He now claims the western flightpath maybe had a veer East then a right turn.. this is goal seeking and desperate BS.. Eric’s changes his theory to match his conclusion and agenda. Any TV “enterprise” that wants to know the facts should contact real Cooper experts and avoid Eric’s docufantasy which is stolen work of others patched together with weak speculation. He has nothing new. He is the Cooper Con. Eric is good example for why I don’t publicly expose most of the suspect info I have. Guys like this will steal your work to try and profit from it. It makes public suspect discussions impossible and undermines case advancement.

This is a great example of a lack of critical thinking.. Cooper demanded to fly "nonstop" aka no stopping in the US, fuel anywhere in Mexico... Why would Cooper say "nonstop" if he knew the plane didn't have the range and the flight would be rejected and renegotiated. Why not just say Mexico? or pick some place far south. Why say no US stops at all if he wanted to jump outside Seattle? Simple, he believed it. Cooper wanted to go to Mexico and jump outside the US. other factors.. Cooper wasn't dressed for a PNW jump.. Cooper was Latin/Swarthy/Mexican in features and appearance. Cooper asked for money using "US" and "American", that suggests a foreign influence. Cooper's initial demand according to transcripts was rear stairs lowered in flight. Transcripts are far more reliable than 302's. The speculation that Cooper was so clever he made a (nonstop) demand he knew was unachievable, would be rejected and renegotiated as a ruse is utter nonsense.

Flo said eyes were brown,, in this video she remembers the colour of his eyes.. and the first composite does not look like Cooper. 17:30 Cooper's eyes were brown and that virtually eliminates blue eyed Sheridan..

I agree about the suction dredge, extremely unlikely for the money to end up as it did going through a suctions dredge. There was a massive clamshell dredge/barge operation right across on Sauvie Island in 76/77, that is a possibility. I did research on river flow and shape.. TBAR was known as an area for junk to wash up.. The steep drop off close to shore actually creates a higher current and can throw stuff up from the bottom. During a high flow period the location of TBAR relative to the Columbia's right turn and steep drop would create a condition which would throw debris up from the bottom onto the shore. Also, regarding human intervention, if it were why does that mean it was Cooper and he buried it?? Money buried dry, this isn't necessarily true.. the money's edges will fan out when thrown in the water but it will compress and stick together over time when fully saturated. The fanning effect is temporary. Water damaged packets of money will eventually stick together in a brick..

If you look at FBI file #36, the six dashes aren't redactions or deletions. Those dashes are just separators to group communications/conversations.

I didn't notice the parachute until I checked a high res version, it is on the FBI flight path map..

yeah, it is an estimate, the point is Scholl's is about 8 miles past Heisson, that is outside the defined jump area in the same doc,, unless 8 miles is considered within "close proximity"??

I don't think they are referring to Scholl's, if you read the entire doc they note the bump/osc at 8:10 and the area between Amboy and Heisson as the jump zone... that puts Scholl's too far South and suggests they are referring to an airport near the point the plane veered East (changed course).

Self proclaimed experts still fail to understand simple concepts... The wind data posted above is used for an estimate, a proxy for Woodland based on Salem and Portland data and averaged over an hour... not very accurate for the LZ. I can read the direction.. the issue is Salem and Portland are far from the assumed LZ and averaged over an hour period 8-9PM. That is just not precise enough to claim the wind as a FACT as Eric does. The wind is an ESTIMATE just as the FBI stated. There is no data available for the exact time and location jumped. That is the point. The data shows a ESE, SSE, S to SSW shift from 7 thru 9 PM.. That means the wind at the LZ may have been SSE to S nearer to 8PM. The ground data shows this wind shifting. The proxy wind data from a significant distance and averaged over an hour is just not accurate enough to validate Eric's and Robert's claim. The F 106 pilots never indicated where Cooper jumped, the person writing the 302 indicated that the veer East is about where they thought Cooper my have jumped based on an 8:10 bump/osc. The veer East then turn right indicated by the F 106's destroy's the western flight path and corroborates the FBI path. The western flight path is dead. The FBI flight path is accurate and Cooper most likely jumped between 8:09 to 8:12 along that path.. The FBI originally used a SW wind then a SSW wind, shifting the search area. But looking at the vague method they used to ESTIMATE the winds near Woodland, it is clear that it is not at all precise to time and location. The winds at 8:09-13 could have been from SSE to SSW... that spins the potential LZ counterclockwise and Cooper may have drifted along or slightly W of the flight path. I don't know if they searched slightly W of the flight path, I assume they did.

Probably from Google search.. Eric seeded the media with his Sheridan Peterson is Cooper false narrative.. people google search "Sheridan Peterson DB Cooper" the 5th result is.. Sheridan Peterson – The DB Cooper Hijacking https://thedbcooperhijacking.wordpress.com/tag/sheridan-peterson/ Posts about Sheridan Peterson written by Robert M. Blevins.

Was there any "training" procedure for military aircrew regarding a pull in poor viz from 10k.

Ridiculous,,, you trying to gain cred from media which you were the source of. You are 98% certain of SP because an FBI agent thought she may have talked to the real DB Cooper.. some are convinced it was McCoy. FBI agent comments/opinions aren't evidence. You have nothing, less than nothing. SP doesn't match the revised sketch or the descriptions, Cooper was latin in appearance and characteristics. In fact, later on the FBI actually eliminated people because they matched the first sketch which was inaccurate. Truth is, the argument for SP is an extremely weak circumstantial one, virtually non-existent. Eric has consciously or subconsciously just pursued a grand speculative goal seeking exercise.
