FLYJACK

The FBI discussed making a profile sketch of Cooper,, they should have the front perspective sketches are so limiting... look at these oddball profiles..

I hate RIP comments,, but Sluggo Wayne Walker did well to reignite the Cooper case with his informative website...

I'll try to clarify my theory for Cooper's "going to Mexico" demands.. Cooper dictated his "going to Mexico" demands to Tina, she wrote them down on a pay sheet.. then she relayed those notes to the crew via the telephone/interphone. In an interview Tina recalled from memory the demands.... she is paraphrasing.. Tina left out the rear stairs.. Here the crew comm noted the aft stairs were to be lowered after takeoff.. Cooper's initial demand was airstairs lowered in flight, he later changed it during Reno negotiations with the crew.. My theory is that Cooper wanted the plane to fly dirty flaps down/gear down after the rear stairs were lowered in flight not the entire flight.. but it was not understood and conveyed accurately via Tina and the Captain. If for example Cooper actually wanted "stairs lowered after takeoff and gear down - flaps down" then the plane would have had the range to make Mexico. It has never made sense that Cooper knew about planes, he knew about fuelling procedures, knew about the configuration but got the range wrong.. He believed the plane could make it to Mexico non-stop, that was no ruse. The most likely way for that error to occur would be if his demand was slightly miscommunicated and he wanted gear down/flaps down after stairs lowered in flight.

Interesting stuff there,, the caveat is of course we can't prove the source of any of the letter's but several of them are unique and IMO may be from the hijacker or an associate. For the coded letter, the FBI files note that they also have the unique code for the Seattle letter but they don't reveal it. The codes are to uniquely identify the sender later, to claim credit or extort money, if not the real Cooper the only reason a hoaxer would use unique codes would be to extort money somehow.. but communication never continued for some reason. Similar to Gunther, Cooper/hoaxer dropped off.. The codes had to be something the sender would know or remember, not an intentional imbedding of their identification. I just found an obscure match to the first code, it could be random but the odds are massive, the second one looks like an MGRS code which matches a location in Laos which is close phonetically to Los Angeles.. a long shot but still working on that one. The hand written letter(s) about Cooper dying was the one I got un-redacted and it is amazing.. I believe it was written by the "Carla" who contacted Gunther.. either Cooper/associate or the hoaxers.. that letter matches the tone and purpose of Carla's communication with Gunther. To claim Cooper was dead and he was really a good guy.. that doesn't sound like something a hoaxer would write, it sounds like a close advocate for the real Cooper. The Jacksonville letter is one that I think is very interesting as well and might be Cooper, I found some things in the letter that are very interesting. I can't reveal the stuff I found yet.. I am trying to put together a comprehensive report.

I am not on Facebook, so the reference is lost...

Ok, so nobody cares,,, this is a big deal. I have done a thorough search and can't find anything that says the "Mexico" note dictated by Tina went to the cockpit, she did communicate via the telephone/interphone.. That means the demands may have been misinterpreted by the crew...

No, Bank straps are a given to disintegrate quickly,, the rubber bands held the packets together and lasted much longer.

The problems are the money they (supposedly) found never turned up anywhere as Cooper's. AND the rubber bands would have deteriorated after 8 years in the woods,, disturbing the order of the money.

You'd have to submit a FOIA to find out..

Something has always been off,,, how did Cooper get the 727 range so wrong.. he had aviation knowledge. Tina wrote down the hijacker's going to Mexico and plane configuration demands but relayed them to the cockpit via the "interphone" .. I can't find any evidence that Tina's (Mexico demand) note was ever taken to the cockpit.. can anybody else find it? "on the telephone relaying the hijacker's demands to the captain" wrote demands on pay sheet.. instructions given to the pilot,, doesn't say note Demands forwarded through Tina.. Cooper demanded the all the notes back, they were returned by Flo... the third one hadn't been written yet. If those demands were conveyed to the cockpit via the interphone there is room for error and misunderstanding by sender and receiver.. what if Cooper wanted the flaps down and gear down later when he indicated and not the entire flight.. Why, he initially demanded stairs lowered in flight, maybe that was when he wanted the plane to fly dirty but there was a miscommunication/misunderstanding between Tina and the cockpit conveying his demand.. then the plane would have had the fuel to make Mexico.. If anybody can find evidence that the "Mexico" note taken down by Tina was sent to the cockpit please post it,, This is important.

Search,, "heavily brushed areas impenetrable" County Road 42 is now NE Lockwood Creek Rd.. Peart Rd, is changed or a typo??

Boeing 727 flaps up, 2, 5, 15, 25, 30, 40... Some airlines blocked the 40 due to accidents. 15 is down but sort of in the middle down range. Flaps were 30 degrees at 7:45.. you CAN trim flaps... not must

Part 42 p 290-294

People are asked later to estimate a subject's height, they are using recall and estimating based on an impression stored in memory. The bias is to be conservative and trend toward the mean... For Cooper, he was seated almost the entire time,, people get an impression based on other factors like weight, body shape, race etc....

I think I have the first code... Have been working on the second code 7698QA2753... The first code type matches the letter, the second one was typed on a different typewriter. Two typewriters?? The letter was typed out then copied and the codes were added, presumably 4 letters with distinct codes, we only have the two codes, the other two are unknown or not sent to the FBI. The code resembles a MGRS coordinate.. found one that matches a location in Laos.. ( Los Angeles) might just be a coincidence.,, any ideas for that second code..

Witness recall study... "under estimate the height of taller subjects and overestimate the height of shorter targets." "a regression to the mean" or witnesses recall tends toward average.. This didn't touch on a stressful situation...

This has been touched on before.. it is very interesting but frustrating because the redactions mean we can't follow up on it... It may be a hoax or unrelated,,, Washougal was the base for many logging companies.. "operating out of the Washougal, Washington area." but it isn't clear where the money was actually found. Quantity of old $20's.. It was just prior to the TBAR discovery.. The date of this report is the end of April.. (Spring/Summer diatoms timing) Follow up,, negative..

The FBI had a reputation for not recording interviews so they could let's say engineer 302's to fit their purpose,, several court cases later many States require the FBI to record interviews.. Lack of recording interviews was a feature not a bug..

True, probably had general aviation knowledge or from a C-130.. But, this is the Vortex nothing is easy,,,,

That was posted before,, I think Gregory got a look at the eye/brow shape or characteristics but not eye colour,,

January 1970... intelligence document

The DNA is the only way to get a 100% solution and Eric is risking that by not doing this properly.

Not exactly... 3 particles of over 100,000 is a small sample.. I found that Ti and Sb are particulates in jet engine exhaust and Diesel engine exhaust.. Ti and Sb was used in electronics... Trying to find a matching commercial alloy from the 60's is a red herring. It is not possible to pin down the source. You also have military and trade secret stuff.. The patent is a classic error in logic, the seen vs the unseen..

Doesn't look like a film artifact.. probably a smudge... time had passed, it might not even be the same towel.

Ryan, you are smarter than that.. There is no evidence in that patent that TiSb was actually produced in the 18% or any % for that patent. Patents are written that way to capture possibilities,, You guys have misrepresented the information in the patent.
