FLYJACK

In Tosaw's book the F-106's got behind flight 305 heading at 148 degrees that is SSE,, and essentially eliminates the Western flightpath.

Was Cooper the last to board or second to last?? and if he was second to last who was last? Flo, thought second to last.. ' Gregory though he might have been the last to board.. Tosaw's book Mitchell was before Cooper, but he didn't speak to Mitchell. he did speak to the stews. Mitchell wasn't sure.. It appears Cooper was likely second to last to board but after Mitchell, perhaps Gregory was last.. if so that may be why he would have chosen the left side.

Tosaw's book is very accurate but he did rely on others for info. Cossey assisted Tosaw for his book,,, and lied. Cossey given credit for assisting... This is a lie... to cover Cossey's conflation of Hayden's rigs with his personal rigs. More lies... from Cossey, claims he was paid $50 for Cooper's rig and the other rig was returned to him.

The argument was always that he took the matchbooks because of fingerprints.. nope That is false.. he left many potential sources for prints (cig butts, cups, magazine, tie,,, etc..) and even offered money to the stews.. Cooper did not care about prints, probably had prints obscured. If he didn't care about prints then why take the matchbook he had brought... the only reason I can think of is it had writing in it and that is supported in the files. Smokers often used matchbooks to write notes.. before smartphones

Notes in the matchbook... that is why he took it.

The TBAR serial numbers are listed in the FBI files, there are 315 bill SN's listed but many are partials that means two partial numbers could have been one bill. The 280 was an estimate.. there were reports one packet was smaller than the other two. Later, partial serial numbers were combined or deciphered and a bill serial number completed, not new bills found. There were not 300 bill's fully identified. This has been a conflation of two different measures.. the bill estimate of 280 and bill SN's confirmed. You can't add 20 new serial numbers to the bill estimate. Confirming 20 bills later does not add to the total number of bills it adds to the bill SN's completed.

Matches were ubiquitous back then.. you could pick them up anywhere, having 1 book wouldn't be a factor. 302's are written from agents notes so they aren't precise. and.. Tina getting them from a cabinet isn't a typical error, it was either completely made up or true. I do lean slightly toward true but wouldn't bet on it.. if it wasn't true then Tosaw was outright lying, I can see an error or misunderstanding but not an outright lie.. there was nothing to gain by it.

DO NOT accept Cunningham's timeline, it is NOT correct. He is out by 2 minutes at the Columbia.. Do NOT let this misinformation become case evidence. This case is tough enough already. and the number of bills was estimated at 290/$5800, they did NOT find more bills they identified more serial numbers, that it NOT the same thing.. Originally they did not identify 280 complete bill numbers then find more. The estimated 280 bills, they were not all complete serial numbers. All they did was complete some of the unidentified serial numbers using fragments. They did not add to the 280. They did not account for all 300 bills. One packet was smaller. Likely some eroded but can't rule out a few were missing. Not likely, but possible. It is likely there were 3 packets of 100 bills each $2000 = $6000 but they did not account for all of them,, and did not fully identify all the (280) serial numbers. Also, the Skychef matchbook... Tosaw interviewed Tina and says in his book that she grabbed them from a cabinet when Cooper's matchbook ran out. While Tosaw does not get absolutely everything correct this may be the source of the Skychef matches and not Cooper. Weather.. There is no precise weather/wind data for Cooper's jump time and location,, we have general reports some distance and time away.. The FBI weather data was applied as a proxy, it was not precise. Best indication was the wind in the area was shifting between SSE to SSW around that time.

You need to challenge your own bias and logic.... because you have some things very wrong. Being wrong isn't a big deal but using that ignorant position to attack others is. Take a step back and re-evaluate. I know you can do better.

No, not dox, silly I have case information that will make you look ridiculous. But calling me hideous is duly noted... it indicates your frame of mind.

No, I don't need for those claims to be true. They support an explanation for Cossey's error, not facts. We test claims against other evidence,,, Cossey's description of Hayden's missing rig fails when tested against other evidence. However, Cossey's later claims that he was describing HIS rig fits. False equivalency.. Your logic is messed up and inconsistent, you accept Cossey in one instance when there are conflicts but then reject it later when it fits. Then you strawman it by asserting the later claims are necessary to question Cossey's early description. False. Layers of deception.. Be very careful Ryan, I have undisclosed information that will make you look really bad. I am really tired of this nonsense. You clearly have some bias that has overcome your objectivity. I think you actually believe what you are saying, but it is not logical, that tells me it an emotional argument. Believe what you want I don't want to participate in an irrational discussion.

It is absurd.. you can always create doubt in anything with enough imagination. There are reports that Cooper checked the cards,, that would explain the card found in the wrong pocket. But, you of all people should know that you don't just accept an unsubstantiated claim as fact, especially when there is contradictory evidence.

1. not documented. 2. yes, documentation no images and I also considered some conflation but only 24' ripstop and rigger matches.

It isn't caution, it is not being realistic... Caution is NOT accepting Cossey's claim. I am not ignoring anything. We aren't in court. This is the investigation stage.. Problem with your analogy is that both of Hayden's rigs were packed by Cossey May 21, 1971.. both cards are accounted for and marked Cossey May 21,1971. One rig was recovered and one is missing. One card matches the found rig and one card is missing a rig.. The card without a rig must belong to Hayden's missing rig. The only way that card doesn't belong to Hayden's missing rig is if there were 3 back chutes.. we know that didn't happen. When you have conflicting info you look for the point of least resistance,, If only one thing, Hayden's 28 foot attribution was some type of error then everything else fits.

Has your account been hacked? You keep making absurd claims. You discard claims that are not contradicted by evidence then you accept claims as fact because they are not disproven when there are contradictions.. have your cake and eat it too strategy.. pretzel logic.. Cossey's claim IS NOT FACT.. it is NOT corroborated.. IT IS contradicted by Hayden and the packing card. Cossey LIED about his records.. More than enough to toss out Cossey's claim.. If you want to accept it, go ahead. I DON'T CARE. Your position is irrational.

NB6 is a claim by Cossey, a claim is not a fact where I come from... That claim is contradicted by the packing card and Hayden... you know evidence. Since we have exactly ZERO corroboration for Cossey's claim it is worthless. I don't have to invent anything. You must have some bias here because you aren't being rational about this issue.

Rataczak did tell Soderlind at the time he thought the oscillations were Cooper jumping. Also 5 or 10 minutes after 8:05 is 8:10-8:15. Rataczak is trying to pinpoint the location using a range based on marked times.. From 8:05 last contact with Cooper to his call with Soderlind. "not yet reached Portland proper" refers to the Soderlind call not the oscillations/jump.. If that call was "shortly/minutes?" after Cooper jumped and before Portland and in the suburbs,, then Cooper's jump was before the suburbs of Portland. Now, what exactly did he mean by the suburbs of Portland..

He demands proof of negation,,, which isn't a rational standard. It is goal seeking. But he has the burden of proof backwards, there is no corroboration of Cossey's NB6 claim.. only conflicts. Burden of proof is on the affirmative. He wants it to be an NB6.... that was very very unlikely. We can't say for 100% certain because we don't know the model of the missing chute but there is nothing to indicate it was an NB6 other than Cossey's claim and there is contradicting evidence.. He is speculating to create doubt that all the contradictory evidence is just a series of errors... It is Rorschach, just see the evidence you want that fits your imagination.

Where is that,, I have seen that he likes the quick fit harness. Not that he disliked the other one. Hayden's recovered chute has a newer updated green harness..

Nope... weak speculations

That doesn't prove conflation.. His chutes may have had the same quick fit harness..

No.

Agree, he pulled, he survived with possibly some injury. Cooper got non-steerable emergency back bailout rigs, probably did not expect that. If you bring your own you can guarantee a freefall rig. Unlikely Cooper used an NB6.. (based on Cossey) There were trackers at the time, not GPS but radio beepers. They ping on an emergency frequency for 24-36 hours. If he pulled at 2000 ft his drift would be less than a mile. Since the FP map has 1 mile error then Cooper would have landed very close to the FP.... It was not Ted Braden. He was the badass of badasses, Cooper wasn't. Ted has dimples, less hair, crooked mouth and a very winkled forehead. Cooper's presence and demeanour does not fit Braden. Cooper was unmemorable. Agree, Cooper had many miltary jumps.. not Braden level but more than a few.. Cunningham's FP timing is incorrect. Ignore it. Sketch B is the closest likeness.. no question. Cooper jumped between the Lewis R and Battleground. Plane pitched at 8:09, that was Cooper reaching the bottom of the stairs. Oscillations increased violently culminating in a pressure bump, That is within minutes of the reported oscillations. 8:11-8:15 at most.. The case is solved, just nobody can put a suspect on the plane. YES, either bomb was real or if fake made by somebody who knew explosives. Money was not planted. No way.. Nobody buries cash in that environment and close proximately to the River, high water line. Many better places and ways to cache it if Cooper wanted to. No, the Government doesn't need to get money from hijacking planes. The CIA has lots of ways to make money. Elsinore ghost, Cameron was embellishing a person he met... walked it back, it is in the 302's. Cooper asked for notes and matchbook because of the writing on them.. not prints. Cooper did care about leaving prints. Weirdly, I heard females prefer violent true crime.. Cooper was a strategist.. Barb was NOT Clara... Letters are too short for stylometry,, random noise. If Clara was legit then the initial contact with Gunther was legit, at least a real person, hoaxer or Cooper. It is just really strange that a hoaxer(s) would disappear for ten years make contact and not ask for money. Skip was not Cooper, his massive forehead creases eliminate him. No way...

We don't know that harness it is a conflation. That is your speculation. No they aren't similar... an NB6 is not similar to Hayden's Pioneer. If you got a pair of bailout rigs to meet regs, you would get two similar, not completely different. There were maybe a dozen WW2 era rigs that are different models but very similar. Olive Drab and Sage Green are not the same.. In 1971 a nylon NB6 was maybe 15 years old, it would not have faded.. it would not be mistaken for a much older faded Olive Drab. Before you got into the case you didn't have a military parachute.. you make a huge assumption that Hayden didn't know what Olive Drab was.. not valid. Today, an NB6 might be 60 years old, then maybe 15. So, now you have to discount 4 things Hayden said to make it an NB6... um, nope You want it both ways, cherry picking parts from Hayden's description and from Cossey's... This all works with only one error in Hayden's description, maybe from him maybe from the agent. In my assessment of all the evidence, with all the conflicts the 28 attributed to Hayden is the single item that if an error makes everything fit. To make it an NB^ you have to have a half dozen errors.. 1 error vs 6... I go with the 1 I am 99% that Hayden's missing rig was not an NB6. knowing the model isn't a big deal but it would mean that the FBI using Cossey were looking for the wrong rig. That is the take away.

Yes, it actually does negate an NB6.. Cossey was the only source for the claim.. nothing corroborates it. Hayden's description doesn't match an NB6.. Olive drab with tan cloth harness. Hayden said the chutes were the same/similar.. An NB6 is nothing like his Pioneer. I think Hayden called it military because it was Olive Drab. That tan one was a civilian version. There were many models that were very similar. The WW2 military chutes were Olive Drab,, later NB6's were Sage Green.. The packing card doesn't really match it either,, a 24' conical in an NB6 container is unlikely and it does not confirm an NB6.. So, it is very unlikely it was an NB6... that is where I started this. Either the 24 or the 28 is wrong.. A 28 matches a flat circular. The card called the 24 a conical.. On balance if one is an error it is most likely Hayden..
