I don't think Marla just lifted the walkie talkie story. I'd bet money that LD and Dewey had radios. Marla described them in considerable detail to me during a break. She didn't get anything wrong. I didnt ask leading questions. From her description of the front grille appearance they were probably Midland 5 watt units. She played with one and broke the telescoping antenna tip, VERY common. Most used ones you see have broken antenna tips. Still, many hunters used CB walkie talkies. The Midland 5 watt unit was very popular. Having a pair of walkie talkies doesn't put LD on the plane. It's not fair to attack Marla as a liar/plagiarist about everything she says. I believe her walkie talkie story. Sure, I am biased, but she knew more than you'd get by just reading Blevins early draft or my walkie talkie posts here. The FBI could bust her claims about Ng and the lengthy polygraph wide open. Hasn't happened yet. She is a smart person. A smart person with a book pending wouldn't lie about those two things. I see the chances of an LD Dewey post jump rendevousz as nearly impossible. That's the basis of my skepticism. 377 2018 marks half a century as a skydiver. Trained by the late Perry Stevens D-51 in 1968.

I was only referring to how she responded to the accusations posted here of past infidelity etc. She sure didn't dodge that one. 377 2018 marks half a century as a skydiver. Trained by the late Perry Stevens D-51 in 1968.

Bruce wrote If that nun thing isn't working out for ya Bruce I'm pretty sure Farflung can give you some pointers. I still can't see someone as smart as Marla lieing about what the FBI told her. That would almost surely blow up before her book release and kill its market appeal. She is too smart to do that. I'm staying tuned. If Marla were a serial commercial scammer she'd have an easy to find record and history. Nothing remarkable in the public records. Just some divorces and one inconsequential small claims court judgement for about $600. Not a scammer profile. Her romantic misadventures don't have anything to do with Norjack. To my amazement she even took that matter head on with no dodges. I felt sympathy for her. Imagine if some infidelity or dishonesty of yours got plastered all over the Internet. Herman Cain could have taken a lesson from Marla. She didn't lie, dodge or make excuses. Bruce is focusing on the FBIs apparently unique response to Marla. Sooner or later more will be revealed. I am keeping an open mind. Do I think LD was DBC? So far, I've seen zero probative evidence that he was so I'd have to say no. I wish I was a friend of Curtis Ng and could talk off the record. I'd just ask what's up with this Marla Cooper thing? 377 2018 marks half a century as a skydiver. Trained by the late Perry Stevens D-51 in 1968.

Ack. I love that car. I wouldn't marry it, but a fling is possible... We've been practically everywhere together. Pick any Forest Service road in Washington, for example. I used to be really attached to my old parachutes. I am sure I was the last guy in California regularly jumping mil surplus rounds. I didnt have anything more modern. One day I borrowed a modern rig. I just couldn't go back. The performance was sooooooo superior. It's probably like that with newer cars. Is Marla gone? The hurricane analogy is looking pretty good.

Re Lil Subie. If it has a "non interference" engine a broken timing belt is no big deal. If not, the repair bill likely will exceed the value of the vehicle. In the case of an "interference" engine, when the timing belt breaks the valves and pistons are no longer synchronized and they collide. Havoc is an understatement. Good luck Robert. I like keeping old cars running. I've never owned a brand new one. 377 2018 marks half a century as a skydiver. Trained by the late Perry Stevens D-51 in 1968.

If true, that's bad behavior. Even if Marla's marital ethics are shabby, and she deceived her husband and her son, it doesnt necessarily prove she was lieing about what she claims she saw as an 8 year old. I'm not being an apologist for Marla. I am just trying to keep the issues straight. Sure, her overall character and credibility are issues relevant to the LD Cooper tale, but her tangled and messy romantic history doesnt close the case. We need more. If, for example, she was lieing about the FBI polygraph, she's finished. I'll bet everybody on this forum has done something in their past relationships that they are not proud of. Marla has the misfortune of having it posted in lurid detail in a public forum. Glass houses and all that... 377 2018 marks half a century as a skydiver.

Bruce wrote Aside from the statute of limitations having expired long ago, the family members have a perfect defense: Nobody really believed the skyjack story. They saw no hard evidence connecting Dewey and LD to the crime. LD was known to lie about many things including having an MD brother who treated him in the past. Lost of dysfunctional families humor known liars, like the war hero that never was in the military, the guy with the advanced degree who was a college dropout, etc. They just dont rock the boat. Enough of the strong arm stuff about family criminal culpability Bruce. It is only tangentially relevant and is a moot point at this late date. We are probing the accuracy and truthfulness of an adult's memory of what she claims to have witnessed at age 8. That's the main issue. You are making it hard to tell if Marla's closing up to you and lashing back is evasive or protective. If you piss someone off, even a truthful person, they sometimes clam up and lash out. That doesnt mean they were lieing to you. I'm not advocating treating Marla with kid gloves. She has made an extraordinary claim and she should expect extraordinary scrutiny. I think you could ask the same questions of Marla in a different manner and you'd find a different response. Border Collies accomplish a lot more than Rottweilers do, in my opinion. Tina probably would have let a Border Collie in, but understandably slammed the door on a Rottweiler. Find your inner Border Collie Bruce.

Not true, 737 757 767 I know for sure go to 15 and beyond. Rataczak might have been referring to a detent or preset of 15 degrees. Still, I think that 15 degrees is not unique to the 727 in any manner.

Broken record playing........ Duane used the X marked chute on his back to allow him to tie the money on his belly. He tied the chute on with a double chute cord and tied a bunch of knots in succession. The trainer who told him to do this is well known to us all and was a top notch rigger and high altitude jumper. He said this would work but that not many people would know it. He is dislexic and planned the entire caper from a dislexic perspective. Everything is backwards or not as you suspect. Hence, a 'bad' chute on backwards, jump at night, 15 miles west of reported path. Bad guys were good guys, good guys were bad guys. Joke is on you guys! He was not Tommy Gunn. McCoy was Captain Tommy Gunn. (:#) Bob. Cooper had a good Navy back chute (NB6 or NB8) that had room in the front to lash up a money container. Why on earth would he rig the X marked chest reserve to be worn on his back? Your scenario shows a profound lack of parachute configuration knowledge. I don't think it makes any sense. You don't make it more plausible by endlessly repeating it. Buy Dan Poynters Parachute Manual. Learn something about rigs. Re-evaluate the story you are telling in light of facts about how parachute rigs are actually configured. 377 2018 marks half a century as a skydiver. Trained by the late Perry Stevens D-51 in 1968.

Sounds like a DZ that may have a lot of inversion malfunctions. There is a coffee shop in SF called Positive Grounds. Marla makes a living off of caffeine addicts. I've tried it but I didn't inhale.

You really have to admire Marla, no dodging, no ambiguous answers and now she is going to take a kayak trip down the Styx into dropzone.com. Girl's got guts, thats for sure. I could be wrong, but that open behavior isn't common with liars and schemers. They totally control the access and dialog. They have to. Welcome to the Colosseum Marla. May it please Caesar.

Blevins wrote Yeah. Provably impossible since Triumph and MG are like Ford and Chevy. Did you see Marlas Facebook comment about being a shameless capitalist? She's a 99%er with her eyes on crossing the border. I just think coffee beans will get her there faster than Cooper schemes. I do think an 8 year old could remember a comic title for decades. I sure do. My friend down the street was obsessed with Aqua Man. Another was a die hard Batman guy. My brother liked Super Boy. A pretty blonde with an engaging personality and a detailed Cooper walkie talkie angle is hard to resist. Still, the facts as told fit a hunting trip and mishap as well or better than Norjack. I've yet to see anything that puts Dewey on the plane. Still, Marla doesn't impress me as a liar. She may be telling the truth as she remembers it. The lies could be LD's and Dewey's rather than hers. I'm going to talk with Ralph H soon. I want to hear his account of what Tina observed regarding the perceived ease or difficulty Cooper encountered putting his chute on. 377 2018 marks half a century as a skydiver.
