Although the point of my post was the 555th. The confusion is understandable since that was the units assigned base upon receiving the mission. "The 17th BG, then flying antisubmarine patrols from Pendleton, Oregon, was immediately moved cross-country to Lexington County Army Air Base at Columbia, South Carolina, ostensibly to fly similar patrols off the East Coast of the United States but in actuality to prepare for the mission against Japan. The group officially transferred effective 9 February to Columbia, where its combat crews were offered the opportunity to volunteer for an "extremely hazardous" but unspecified mission. On 17 February the group was detached from the Eighth Air Force." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doolittle_Raid But, this whole side trip through history is mute, if there is no connection between the all black Paratroopers and the white Suspect. Plus, it just adds to the chaff that fills this thread. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

"During the winter of 1944–45, the Japanese sent 9000 fire balloons toward the western coast of North America. It was believed 1000 succeeded in reaching the United States, and 300 were witnessed. After three days, each balloon dropped an incendiary bomb.[2] In order to conceal the efficacy of these attacks, the missions of the 555th was kept clandestine in nature. In addition to fires started by the enemy incendiary devices, the 555th fought numerous other forest fires. Stationed at Pendleton Field (site of initial training for the Doolittle's raid on Japan) Oregon, with a detachment in Chico, California, unit members courageously participated in dangerous fire-fighting missions throughout the Pacific Northwest during the summer and fall of 1945. The group engaged in over 1200 missions, earning the nickname "Smoke Jumpers" in addition to "Triple Nickles." The only fatality in the unit died while jumping on 6 August 1945." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/555th_Parachute_Infantry_Battalion_%28United_States%29 The 555th is real, they did do the missions claimed. The arrived on the NW Coast in May of '45, stayed till the went east (late '46? iirc ) to be assigned to the 82nd eventually ('47). Having met and spoken with many vets of that unit, as well as read the AAR's, and watched the various training and documentary films. I am pretty confident it is true.

I do not know why you responded to me after I responded to Knoss. I also do not see a link to DW and the 555th, unless you're stating he also faked his race as well as identity? Be clear , no more "codes" and "baits" Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

Your post is NOT worthy of being repeated! ENOUGH is ENOUGH! YOU know YOU did not tell me anything other than you knew Duane and claimed to have known the wife. I proved you DID NOT know the wife and you had NO idea she was still alive. Originally you never heard of TG and then you used his name as McCoy's. You kept expanding your claims and the garbage started to spew. When you found I was in contact with the wife of the day, you doubled back and claimed she might not have been his wife, but a FBI "type" who was supposed to "control" him. I know WHO was with him during those days. I have had ENOUGH of your lies and fabrications. You knew NOTHING about Duane nor his friends. You created STORIES but had NO knowledge of Duane's wife or her family and you even had the time span wrong. You accuse her of doing a robbery and told Grey it was in the papers. NO records of an arrest existed and NO article in any newspaper. I DID NOT VALIDATE YOUR STORY and never will. You are totally incorrect about the truth of the matter. I DO NOT LIE LIKE YOU DO. Once you lie, your credibility is no longer accepted. In court when you lie, ALL of your testimony is THROWN OUT, as yours should be here. Your information can not be trusted. You are a serial liar. Your only saving grace with me is I know the difference. When you speak the truth it is consistent with what I know. You make me laugh with these reversals. Biggest problem is that you can't remember all the lies!! Red and white canopy, white canopy when you never saw anything. No fire tower, fire tower, milk can, milk pail, don't know Mac, leave him alone, "Once there was one, now there are three, find my wife and you will find me!" One after another, constantly. A person would have to be dumber than a frickin' rock to swallow your deceptions. And you want ANYONE to believe you? You are a LOSE CANNON. Nobody trusts what you might say, because you constantly lie. Practically every post about me contains lies. They are obvious. Scrambled eggs? No. Scorned payback? Yup. I believe everything I present is the absolute truth. Most of it was first hand, or I explain it. I would say the same thing under oath. I am not an investigator, I am a witness. You don't seem to comprehend the difference. When I tell you that Duane was told to say that he didn't have a grudge against Northwest, he just had a grudge, I'm am telling you that those words were given to both of us at the same time, not that someone said that was the case. I heard the actual words same as Duane at the same time from the same person. Witness. No guessing, no investigation, no secondhand "I think", or "something like", I memorized it as instructed, for a specific purpose, and I am not wrong. There is one person who knows this to be fact and we have discussed it. That person was impressed. I have 50 pages of exact quotations, word for word of instructional conversation consistent with what transpired on flight 305. NOT he said, she said. It makes everything crystal clear. But it is of no value without that second signature. Ain't gunna happen. Go figure. End of conversation.

See my post, apparently, most did not. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

Why do you keep going back, after being replied to, to edit your quoted posts? It doesn't get edited in the quoted posts. So the original text, still stands. Your info is till FactLESS.

MATT STATED: The name came from you right here, for me it was the first time I saw it. Did you see what he does? do you really want him to call you? You still have not offered up any evidence and proof. All you offer is unverifiable fictional statements that are liable at best. Matt GEORGER STATED: Give it up Matt. You're tilting at windmills and other people's phantoms. The Cooper case itself is a phantom flame (more like a volcano!) which has attracted many moths, who cannot think for themselves. Matt this is what I tried to explain, perhaps you are computer savy, but so many here are NOT. Georger thinks I made the statements above when I only made the first statement. Please do something to ID the individual stating something. Look at the post you made - anyone who did NOT know the characters would not know who said what. Evident from the reply Georger made. Please never quote me in the same post with BK unless you make it specific who said what. Please - pretty please. The old guys here like myself do not get the new WAYS of things and in this case it is creating posts that make it look and sound like - I said what Knoss actually said. Georger made no such claim in his post. You're the only one making this "new ways" claim. Again, the Re: [Skyjack71] at the top of this should let you know i am replying to you. If it is not Skyjack71, then I am replying to some one else. Simple. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

TTBOMK - McCoy never spoke to you, I SWEAR IT. TTBPMK - You never had any thing to do with the hijacking, I SWEAR IT. There, using your standards of proof, it is proven. Now using actual standards of evidence, I've based My CONCLUSIONS on the tangible items, not make believe. You still offer no actual proof. As to you serving, not likely, it takes honor, among other things, to do that. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

____________________________________________ OR: You could take a trip to Iraq and put your proposition on their ballot. Let them vote for the various facts to combine to create a story. I absolutely GUARANTEE they will vote a more correct answer than you all attempt to project (prop up). You could substitute any country in the World and get the same results. The only people nieve enough to buy your story were elected to office or report to one who was. I don't need to listen to suppositions. I was there. Whole big difference. Impossible to try the case. That's FACTless. I Sir, did go to Iraq, I did answer the call of my Country, I dodged no draft and made no excuses for failing to step up. Nor do I tell stories or fabricate "facts" for this thread. I have been kind to you thus far, but find it hard to hold back when you continue with your fabrications. But it is typical of you, caught in a lie, you redirect and try another direction of fables. Caught making things up or spreading falsehoods you then try to claim others are lying and "putting words in your mouth". Fact is your the one who lies, most every one of your posts is pure unadulterated BS and you should be ashamed of the harm you have caused Jo and the job of misdirection and disinformation you have pulled on the thread. If any one can be blamed for the case not being solved, it is you and your tin foil hat needed to follow conspiracy theory. None of which passes any factual tests. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

It would be nice if we could actually stick to facts, investigate theory, with out fantasy being interjected by force. Theory with facts to justify would be acceptable, but thus far we don't have that with that particular theory. Another nice thing would be to expunge all the none-cooper case items from the thread so we can read the facts being discussed. Then, if we could keep the attitudes at a professional level, mine too, we might make progress, or none. But it would be done "proper" at least. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety.

Actually, you haven't not once. Your word is not worth any thing here. Proof would be worth some thing, but you have none of that either. You should just fade away quietly, did you see what Mr. Owens does? he is not amused with you. And now you re-new your liable against the Co-pilot? OK. This will be fun to watch now. I will need more paper to keep up with the two lawyers requests already. I may have to start cutting trees from the farm! Chief thinks this is funny, you boxed yourself in, real well.

Not such a tough shot, been to the sight, studied the data, they had a story on it the other night, H2 I think ran it. They had a three shooter test, Pro Shooter, Am Shooter, and never shot before shooter. ALL made the shot, all made it deadly WOW, thing thing is fun!

No, you said they sent you the actual videos. From your post... "And just last night I was sent 5 videos from USPA GM DZ's, in TX, AL, TN and OH. All doing what I wrote about, all within the last month. " Sorry for the confusion, the DZO's did not send them, and to be clear I never wrote DZO, they came from staff and jumpers at the GM DZ's. And then the reply was how they are all over fb and youtube, the jumpers, staffers etc, are proud of them, or do not understand they are causing the sport the heart ache.

I am curious... Why? A tandem student can't do much on a skydive other than enjoy the ride... What danger do they pose by having the camera on their hand?

I did read it, it caused me to re-upload the papers, and start reading. And that reading showed me that both sides are the same selective spin writers they accuse the others of being. The Counselor is right though, it was a very biased article, as are the replies below it. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

Even ignoring the heath debate, I agree with this statement. That sounds good in theory, but for it to work, ALL or at least a majority need to do it. Hell, if the majority did this this we wouldn't be in any of the messes we're in now. For now the best we can do is to all take care of ourselves trying not to directly impact others in the process. Which if we all do, our society will be much better off than we are now.

And some wonder why I didn't renew? I know this is an old video. But those types of jumps still happen, the T-I's just don't allow the video to be made (for a while, then they sneak out again). Night Tandems still happen, CRW,
