Lots of MG(35%) Si(30%) Al(20%) and Fe(5%) on the tie.. Anybody identify a corresponding alloy..
-
Photochromic Lenses were invented in 1966,,, Looking for use circa 1971..
-
When exactly were the rear cabin lights first out.. The window shades were lowered.. The fuel driver said rear was dark,, Al Lee said lights were out,, Tina said lights were out when Cooper stood up and ordered her to the cockpit.. Tina also said light were out when she went to get the chutes.. Two things, it makes it hard for Cooper to see with lights out and sunglasses on and harder to determine his height when standing. 727 rear lighting..

It says so in the document.. read it. CRAFT is an acronym..
-
BOOM.. The Raleigh/BelAir coupons were only good in the USA.. but available to APO and FPO mailing addresses. "APO and FPO are abbreviations used by the US Military Postal Service to deliver mail and packages to military personnel overseas." So, Cooper could have redeemed coupons from overseas through an APO/FPO. Written in the lower right text..

Robert,, read..

Not sure what Edwards means.. the new file confirms the Air Force map was received Nov 25th,, but we have had the document confirming the Air Force map on Nov 26th for a long time.. It only moves it up one day.. he seems to have questioned that it came from the Air Force, we already had confirmed that.

Tina used the interphone/intercom while seated.. wanted small bills?
-
It is nearly impossible to refute certain statements.. particularly concerning prominent deceased persons. It is equally virtually impossible to positively eliminate many suspects.. and indeed Seattle has reopened several previously eliminated suspects... because of new evidence..
-
I did read it, you have zero evidence the Air America or any 727's had cockpit controls for the ventral stairs. The FBI comm states CRAFT maps, also the Harrison notes does.. CRAFT is acronym for the IFR procedure. Those maps were requested and delivered, they were CRAFT maps because that is what they called them whatever procedure they actually used.
-
1986 prints no value case closed.
-
The C-22 military version didn't even have cockpit controls for ventral stairs.. it is beyond speculation to claim the Commercial 727-100QC Air America planes had cockpit controls.. and also claim Cooper was familiar with them. You need some evidence. When the stairs were replaced with a slide, there were no stairs to control. The IFR procedure requires maps, that is what they were referring to.. the maps not the IFR procedure itself..
-
The CRAFT map thing came up a wile back.. CRAFT acronym
-
Hadn't caught this before,, Cooper demanded the crew members REMAIN seated when Tina got the items.... They were seated when Cooper got the money and the chutes.. where were the other stews, Alice and Flo at that point.
-
The C-130 has rear ramp/door controls in the cockpit.... That is is the most likely source for Cooper's "experience"... and error applying it to the 727.
-
It gets confusing because the DC3/C47 uses fractions of full flaps.. not degrees,, some planes used percentage of full,, those may = 15 degrees but not be marked on the controls. The 15 degree flaps is a general setting for takeoff.. I recall some prior discussion as to whether Cooper actually used the number 15,, I think it was Larry Carr,, Cooper initially demanded only flaps down,, then the crew had to go back to him to confirm and the number 15 came up, I think Larry thought it may have come from the crew or Cooper was influenced by the crew. IMO, flaps 15 is a well known standard takeoff setting and doesn't imply only a 727. But Cooper definitely had some general aviation knowledge, not necessarily the 727 specifically. The fact that he didn't understand the airstair operation confirms that.
-
15 degree flaps is a generic take off setting.. it might have nothing to with a specific model. Some planes use different increments like percentage or 1/4, 1/2 of full... that may equal 15 degrees,, Found this about the DC-3 (C-47).. Douglas Service Bulletin DC-3 No. 261 contains information relative to the identifying characteristics of the above listed axle assemblies. (c) A flap setting of 15 degrees is required to meet the take-off and climb requirements at weights in excess of 25,200 lbs. at sea level except for those aircraft operated in accordance with a FAA Approved Airplane Flight Manual or those aircraft eligible for operation in accordance with the take-off limitations of FAR 121, in which case a retracted flap position may be used for take-off.
-
Yes, 737 has 15 degree flaps, not sure if all variants. and most DC-9 variants did as well, not all. DC9-10 Flaps 0 - not used for takeoff or landing Flaps 10 - takeoff setting Flaps 20 - takeoff setting Flaps 30 - approach and landing setting used for abnormal situation such as engine out approach and landing Flaps 40 - normal setting for landing, i.e., company standard Flaps 50 - not used, see below * DC9-30/40/50 Flaps 0 - could be used for takeoff only in "Flaps 0, Slats extend" configuration Flaps 5 - takeoff setting Flaps 15 - takeoff setting Flaps 25 - approach and landing setting used for abnormal condition such as engine out situation Flaps 40 - normal setting for landing, i.e., company standard Flaps 50 - not used, see below * DC-9/30 flaps 15..

Here is what I believe those codes in the letter are for,, Each of the four newspapers was send a copy of the typed letter with a unique code.. That code was only known by the sender and could be used by the sender to confirm that they were the author.. only the sender knew the codes. Those codes were meant for further communications.. It could have been a predicate to sell information.. but there was no followup. Those codes were something known to the sender and unique receiver. Figuring out those codes may identify the sender.

Tina was in Eugene later.
-
Two controls in the rear one inside and one outside,, like the 727
-
What contents, there are no contents in that letter that indicate it is fake,, it is possible.. but there are several things in there that indicate it could be legit. Of course there are dozens or more fake Cooper letters but there are three that I have been investigating that are unique,, you have done zero investigation into the letters and just assume they are all fake based on a generality.. This is something I found with many people in this case,, binary assumptions based on opinion or bias.. people take hard positions based on nothing. Once you have taken that position critical thinking ends. Fact is, we don't know if the letter is fake or not. You can have that opinion but you have no evidence. You have to be skeptical of everything and that includes your own assumptions.

That is possible but the number I potentially matched indicates he did not live in the PNW.

Correction, According to Flo, she was ordered by Rataczak to remove her shoes as that was the procedure for emergencies.. I couldn't confirm if any of the stews did or not.. Tina said she didn't get a good look at Cooper's face, claimed he looked forward and was hunched over, yet she had input on the sketches,,, the FBI followed her after the hijacking. I don't think she had anything to do with it but she may be compromised as a witness. Something is just off with her. I don't know about the tie, it was a Pennys Towncraft clipon, they are one size but are they adjustable? EDIT.. Cooper's actual tie is about 22.5" top to tip.. don't know if that helps any.. Tie's are measured to the top of the taper at the bottom so 2.5" less than the bottom tip = 20" tie length. 20" for a clipon is considered long... but we don't even know if Cooper wore the tie before the hijacking.

Black and white images do not show complexion well.. Mucklow's passport says 5' 8".. Al Lee said Tina was 5' 6".. he was standing next to her. Was she shorter or was it a bad guess, either way it tells you height claims are imprecise. but Flo said that they were ordered to remove their shoes, emergency procedure. I brought this up before but couldn't find anything on whether Tina had her shoes on or not.. Tina had Cooper 5'10"-6',, the FBI probably updated to her estimate because the other estimates were when Cooper was seated though Tina would have seen Cooper standing only briefly. It is irrelevant as the FBI admitted they included suspects 5'8" as a threshold.
