turtlespeed 212 #1 November 25, 2013 Hee hee 1971 - "Dan Cooper" jumps with $200,000 out of plane over Washington. I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnMitchell 14 #4 November 25, 2013 I'm speaking at a gathering of DB Cooper enthusiasts this weekend. I personally don't think he survived the jump, but just MHO. I'll be talking a little about a friend of a friend, Richard McCoy, who did the same thing over Provo, UT 4 months later and made it home with the money. He proved you could do it. Not getting caught later is the hard part. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You young pups forget that some of us old farts manage to survive our stupid. DB was already in his 40's IIRC when the hijacking occurred so he'd be in his 80's by now.

JohnMitchell 14 #11 November 25, 2013 ryoder So you are telling us the FBI is bringing you in for questioning? My friend loaned some gear to Richard. He was questioned many, many times by the FBI. We had t shirts made saying "I jump at DB Cooper's Dropzone" made up and gave him one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
