That is what I thought, the "System Timetable" has it,, the regular local timetable does not. So, how prevalent was the system timetable.. in other words, the system timetable was available nationwide but the regular one was local.

Where was that from, was it readily accessible.. the regular timetable doesn't show the plane.

The dialogue in the Himmelsbach book seems made up... It may be true that Cooper asked if it was a 727 but we don't have a primary source. Lysne's 302 doesn't say it.. is there another unreleased Lysne 302?? If he didn't ask, then how did he know it was a 727.. Did he do a dry run.. or was the type of plane publicized somewhere back then..

I found it in Himmelsbach's book... GG probably got it from there... It isn't in the Lysne's FBI 302.. not sure if this is accurate or a manufactured narrative.

Slightly OT,, this was in Gray's book but is there an original source.. it isn't in Lysne's 302.

Probably random.. getting back to a job is possible but he would have been recorded missing from his job on the 24th, Getting back to the family doesn't make sense because he would be missing for T-DAY.. so unlikely he had to get back to a family. Anything is possible but IMO most likely,, a random day. More interesting is why choose the end of November, the PNW weather and temps are not good for a jump and ground escape. If he lands safe he is going to be wet, cold and dirty... My theory, his original plan was to jump further South.

I wasn't here when Carr was posting, but if you read the 302's that path was used by and accepted by the FBI.. A copy of that map and path was used by the search centre, it is on the wall. To claim it was not used and accepted by the FBI is lunacy.

Credentialism is a common fallacy... Everybody knows the FBI didn't make the map, we got it from the FBI and is accepted by them as the path.. You know the evidence, it has been discussed to death, if not search. The WFP has been beaten to death and there is no evidence for it..

No, it is rejected because there is no evidence,, the evidence supports the so called "FBI" path.

The FBI would have ruled him out based on his size,, they did look at people who didn't quite match Cooper's profile if they had some other significant characteristic.. for example, a blue eyed expert jumper.

Too small, 5' 6" and 140 lbs

They didn't ID the full number.. This is... L58739558B 1963 A https://www.ebay.com/itm/114899514265

Passenger Jack Almstad.. Interview in 3 parts.. He said he was seated one row behind the hijacker,, perhaps the guy he thought was the hijacker was actually another passenger, he didn't know there was a hijacking. He said a guy ("I think it was a man") "came down the aisle with a white sack and to me it looked like a pillow slip and it had these jagged points in it and I remember the thought I had was what looks like bricks in it or a bag of money, I thought.." Bricks are consistent with bundles..

Some opinions are better than others.. Every criminal has some sort of grudge... that is self evident. All we know is that he claims he doesn't have a grudge against Northwest Airlines.. if he did he might have just said so.. why not.

Everybody has a grudge.. even a greedy thief. I doubt it was purely political..

It wasn't plural is was possessive.. Both airline and airlines is used.. The FBI docs also use the proper name.

Tree landing.. Similar terrain, mixed open and trees..

I did find a suspicious object on one of the twelve piles, it is either a piece of rubber band or a piece of a bill.. However, it disappeared on later images of the pile so it fell off whatever it was. Gone.

Ceiling was 5000 ft,, broken clouds and intermittent rain.. the jump was at 10000 feet but the terrain range was about 500-1200 ft. elevation. He probably could not see the ground but could see the brightest lights. He would know if he was over Vancouver/Portland. Titanium/Antimony balls,,, but the witnesses said he wasn't a bad ass type. An unmemorable geeky guy.. not mentally ill either,, most hijackers were mentally ill. It sure sounds like it was something done by somebody who didn't really care about himself any longer, a jump right into the blind unknown... maybe at late 40's he was extremely desperate for money or had a terminal disease.

The FBI got the micro in the same order as given to Cooper, they re-ordered it alphanumerically for the release to the public,, we have never seen the original order. Tom was not given the original order and couldn't find it. In the image of the twelve bundles we can assume two of those were top bills because one of the packets was missing bills. I have tried to reassemble the twelve piles into three packets based on shape but it is tough. The top left one was probably a top one. There is no indication of rubber bands on these. This is that top left pile.. that line is not a rubber band it the flipped over image of a White House pillar. I think it was Tosaw's book,, he said there were rubber bands on only two of three packets.. that is consistent with rubber bands bundling three packets together. If the rubber bands were used on the bundle of 3 packets then there would be one packet with no rubber band frags, one with rubber band frags on the top bill and one with rubber band frags on the bottom bill... The FBI only has about 14 bills, some have deteriorated further. The packing cards,, I did a FOIA for the packing cards, the FBI said check the FBI vault, they will put anything there. The cut shroud lines might have DNA but they have been handled by many people. The chute at the Wash Museum might have Cooper's DNA.. long shot though. The best chance for new evidence is do a new DNA analysis of the tie, you might get 20 profiles now.. but if it wasn't Cooper's tie, that may not even help. He left the tie.. but that requires $$ and the co-operation of the FBI and they don't seem interested in solving this.

Tom looked for info on them back when he had access.. he found nothing. Nothing in any of the later released files. There is no evidence of rubber bands collected with the money, all we have is the Ingram's statements about the condition of the TBAR money.. I know you want new evidence but it isn't coming. It has been over 50 years.. we have to work with what we have.
