It also covers the CIA airdrops in Southeast Asia:
Back in the early '70s, it was not well known that a 727's rear door could be opened in flight. But the CIA had been doing it for years in Southeast Asia, dropping agents into enemy territory from the back end of an unmarked Boeing 727. For a while, the FBI thought Cooper was ex-military and might have moonlighted for the CIA. It's something they looked into.
Keep up the good work guys (and orange!)
