Coincidence or not, it's infinitely more likely to be the inspiration for our middle aged man's alias than a Belgian graphic novel, that's for sure.

Just another day in the Vortex. Who needs a Belgian graphic novel when you've got an AMERICAN 1937 pulp novella hero pilot named Dan Cooper? Found this last night. Thank you, thank you.

Where does this come from exactly? I can't find it any of the 302's that have been released so far. Thanks!

Hey guys, what are some cons on Ted Braden? Seems like if you had to invent someone who checks all the boxes it would be him: - Skydiving expert with almost 1,000 jumps under his belt - Fearless and described as having a death wish - 44 years old, not very large, swarthy, from the Midwest - Had a criminal mind and the ingenuity to come up with the concept in the first place - Angry about being underpaid while in the military and about the CIA blacklisting him from being an overseas mercenary - Almost certainly jumped from 727’s in Vietnam while serving in the SOG’s - Intensely calm under pressure - smoker and drinker Would the only major con be that he wasn’t familiar (that we know of) with the area into which he jumped? Although would that really be an enormous detriment to a guy who had jumped into Laos, Cambodia, and North Vietnam? I’d think jumping into a pine forest would be less complicated than a triple canopy jungle. You guys are the experts, is there a major con that I’m missing on Braden? He makes a hell of a lot more sense to me than just about every other “known” suspect. Someone talk me out of this.
