Pretty freakin COOL !!!

I'm probably just being cynical.... yet I ask... Why all the small talk with Tina? I understand they had a lot of time to kill yet... Why not demand silence, stay quiet,and not risk letting some information slip out about your personal life that would have been better keeping to yourself? He seemed to me to be pretty short and curt about everything else? I'm probably being cynical. I've been known for being that way in the past occasionally. Lol

To me his behavior seems erratic at times. The giddiness he displayed when the money arrived is one of them. Another would be his obsession with McGyvering the money bag instead of just asking for a different one. How about his flirting with the stews? You would think that he would be too absorbed in the hijacking process to care about flirting. (at least it seems like he was flirting to me) Any other strange behavior I might be forgetting?
-
At times he almost acts like he is under the influence of some kind of narcotic?
-
Wouldn't it also increase fuel consumption / decrease range?
-
Why ask for gear down?
-
I'm thinking 3 rationales. Make it jumpable, stretch the search area, and burn fuel.
-
Would the packing cards tell him this?
-
As far as sketch A vs. sketch B......we will never know which is better.....unless we catch him lol......kinda like arguing religion imho.

Did Flo get another look at Cooper without his sunglasses on when this occurred? Or was he already wearing them by this time? Seems a little strange that she would be the one positioned between Cooper and the passengers considering her supposed emotional state? I am surprised Alice wasn't the one positioned here.
-
Stand by row 15? Not let anyone past her? I must have missed this. Could you expand on this?
-
Do we know for fact that Flo was 'emotional'? I've wondered if the emotional Flo narrative has {was} been overblown? Has {was} she ever asked by anyone about her emotional state during the hijacking? Is it possible that the 'emotional Flo ' narrative might have been a misrepresentative of her activity that night?

Does Shutter attend the conferences? I would enjoy meeting him someday!
-
Very glad to hear! Thanks for the information!
-
I hope Shutter is okay as well ! His website will be missed!
-
Thank you Nicky, I look forward to meeting you as well !
-
Has Darren ever had 377 on his show? Another I hope to meet at CC!!
-
Personally I would also add Shutter to the list as well.
-
I'll respect anybody's choice on this but I agree that it is disappointing. I believe they both would be excellent guests on Darren's show!
-
Sorry you don't plan on attending. I would enjoy meeting you along with meeting everyone else! I look forward to discussing the case in a more private setting. I am hoping a lot of the old timers are able to attend! I guess I can always hope that you change your mind?
-
Bummer!
-
I would love to discuss this in person!! Any chance of that happening at the Cooper Convention?
-
As per stained hands... I am not sure of the source of this information. Hager and I had conversations concerning the stains. I don't know where's Hag heard about the stains, I was under the impression that Hager might have read about it? It's possible that Hag heard about the stains on one of the Cooper internet sites operating at the time? Seeing as how many people were pipe smokers at the time, shouldn't we consider the possibility that the stains might come from that? Also , being the seventies, might the stains have come from cannabis? Just thought I would throw out some other possibilities .

While we are talking Cossey, I need to correct something from my previous posts...While saying Cossey was the only civilian rigger working in that area, I correct myself. I believe Cossey was the only civilian " Master. " rigger working that area. Sorry for mistake. Evidently you must have to be a Master rigger in order to pack the reserve chutes such as the ones Cooper received? I think Hager believed Cooper requested reserve chutes, although I am not sure that there is any evidence to substantiate Hag's belief?

Really enjoying the discussions ! Going back to some of the earlier ones..... I also have wondered about some of Cooper's use of phrases ? Some sound contrived, others sound borrowed from a movie? Was it rehearsed or was it part of his usual banter? Not sure what, if anything, it says about Cooper? Not sure who posted it....but very thought provoking was the post on the timing of Cooper handing the initial note to Flo .....Great post!! What would Cooper have done if Flo had flipped out and screamed or something else to draw attention to the situation? Why not wait till they are in the air? A mistake in planning? Kinda sounds like it to me, lmho. Once again, very thought provoking. Excellent post!
