377. Shocking airframe hours is quite low less than 1900. Engine HOURS 335.Easy to checkout though. They just posted it on eBay. Go to eBay aircraft. Look for 1978 piper thomahawk. It is located in Ontario Oregon. Jerry

377. Yea Ralph is doing great for his age. Just got off the phone with him about a hour ago. His back is getting better.He thinks that the piper thomahawk is a fantastic deal.I'm thinking of flying it over to let him check it out before I go final on the purchase, Hope shelly doesn't divorce me over buying this plane. She doesn't like me flying or jumping anymore.But thats what happens when your wife love's you and thinks you should walk everywhere you go. She's scared I'll have a accident.To many broken bone's over the past 4 yr's She calls it accident prone says my luck ran out.Jerry

377. Ralph has always lived by saving and investing. He wasn't always a FBI agent. However he has had that beach craft for over 30 yrs. He has sacraficed some luxurys of life to aford it and still Flys at 84yrs old. Jerry

Geoger. Found a 1978 piper thomahawk for $15,500 close by. Fantastic deal. Low hours new Anual.Want to go Flying. Jerry

Geoger. Thanks more impotantly any new add ons.Jerry

377. Never realy knew this was ever an isue it's been will known and publizized for years since the hyjacking in71.It was made public back then. Jerry

airtwardo.Your right about his MO and he was good at it too. But he still fell to his death.Good point about the money bag wrapping around him. Fact being the cord he used was to short for that to have happened. Also I do believe that the pilots refused to take off with the air stairs deployed.You are all right the info cooper had available to him in order to pull this off was available to all. Jerry

377. Its no secret that I believed he died from the jump . He sure didn't walk very far with out shoes on> I know other people think that he may not have been wearing regular shoe's .Thats there probblem.Experienced? I don't think that he was. He knew enough to get himself in trouble. Hell he was in a state of shock when he got the money he realy didn't believe he would get that far.He picked the wrong chutes the wrong time and area.Mentally retarded would be my guess.Or someone with a death wish.Jerry

377. I guarantee that what ever cooper thought 38+yrs ago is in the spirit world with him. Does anyone know a psychic or medium.Maybe we can try a new technique and chanell some questions.I'm just saying. (this post for hummor only?)

Geoger. WoW or maybe a fiction teller

Geoger. It would be a fantastic law especially with a Grandfather clause. Jerry

Bruce. The later of your comment makes for good book writing material and confuses others on the isue's of this case. For instance do you have any Idea how many people actually believed that there was 6000 dollars found and that Brians dad kept $200 dollars of it to pay a fine that he had. This was published in one of the books written by a guy that claimed Cooper was a realestate salesman in Arizona.Some one actually started a rumor that a famous artist that lived on skamania mines road was actually Cooper back in the 90's Do you see my point.Maybe someone that reads this stuff may actually have good info and get thrown off because someone decided that confussing the facts of the case would make a good book.Remember some people can't read that well and will only read one book and believe the case is solved. Never knowing the truth.Jerry

Jo. Very Funny. Posting more fiction. Galen the attorney. From Spokanne has some awfull strange therioes. Another man just looking to make money off this case.Now as for Ralph, He and his wife are like surrogate parents to Shelly and I. and I am positive that you should be aware of this fact. Everyone else is ,and your comment was made without Merrit. Yes I am aware that you talked to him today. I just got off the phone with him 10 minutes ago. We discussed a few things and Shelly and I will be spending time with Him and his wife this weekend. Kinda strange for some one who wants nothing to do with me. You see there is one problem Ralph, has allways told everyone how close he and I are. Maybe if you would like, ask those who has talked to him. Why don't you start with Geof Gray or Tom Kaye, or Geoger, or Larry Carr or Brian Ingraham or Susan Gilmore from the Seattle Times or Edward Walsh from the Oregonian or the Fazio brothers. Shall I go on? I think I made my point.SO take a sugestion, drop this obsession on Cooper and go on with the rest of your life and let those that would realy like to see this case solved before Ralph passes away do what we can. If you here of someone who claims to be Cooper or has info that might lead to solving this case have them send DNA ,finger prints or pictures to the FBI so it can be tested and ruled out along with all the others they have excluded already. Jerry

Would be glad to say. However one member of this forum loves to write fictional stories.The only way I can keep some info from becoming a part of a new story is keep it under the table untill it is made public info.Jerry

Geoger. Very exciting new info recieved this mourning on the case.With plans for further info and meeting on friday please call me ASAP.Jerry

Bruce. I realy can't understand the problem when it comes to people claiming to be Cooper or knowing who he was. Just get some of there DNA and finger prints.a picture and take it to the FBI and let them test it like they have everyone else.All claims to date have been proven to be those of want a bee's.Then you won't have to waist your time on those who make false claims.Jerry

I'll Be back at Tina's Bar on Thursday.Could be interesting. Jerry

Jo .Your dreaming again you didn't prove anything except I was right enough already. Continue writing your fiction. Jerry

Bruce. Have these people call me . If you believe thier story is solid, then they should talk to me. If it is not solid, They will find a reason not to talk to me and so will you.You Have my number . What I don't understand is that no one has heard of this untill Now. So what is the real deal. Fabrication Or do you realy Know. Jerry

Orange one.What is an average amount of gold that a mine could produce in a day and be profitible. Jerry

Geoger.You must be the smartest man in the universe. I totaly agree. As for the black hole is concerned. I honestly believe that is where all this fiction or new info should go.Jerry

Geoger. I don't know any thing about this guy. I'm sure if they had anything valid to bring forward I would have heard about it. Once again sounds like some one trying to make money by compilling information for another fiction book on Cooper just like the most recent published. If there is any truth to it Im sure I'll be contacted sooner or later. Otherwise most people know I can disprove there claims and won't try to contact me. Funny though when I find out about them I disprove there claims and go public with it anyway.I'll bring it to Ralph and Larrys attention anyway. I'll also contact Geof Gray and let him research it. He has a deadline this week so he probably won't get to it untill next week. If he thinks it is worth while. Jerry

Geoger I'll sell you my 24ft Bayliner or my dingy if you like.Your right about the Investment situation.I invest in rare coins and Gemstones.Gold and silver mines in washougal mining district never had alot of gold. Copper ,silver and nickel mainly. They never realy processed alot of the ore from that area it was more of a stock market scam.Most of the shafts are still opened. Some have caved in. A few have been reopened recently.Longview fiber filled mining rights on afew of them years ago and got the land then logged it.Jerry

377. Yes it does.I bought a back hoe last year and I plan on working it when the weather clears.It snowed here again last nite.Got a foot of snow last week it melted. It warms up in the day so most of it has melted.I figure that in a week I can go into full operation.Jerry

Orange one Ref gold mines. Actually I own one.For real its called The Stices Gulch Placer Gold Mine. Pattened in 1906 May 7th . And signed by President Rosevelt.Recorded in the book of In Baker county Oregon.
