Wow, Georger - U hit the ball out of the park with that post. I still have my mouth OPEN (please dont' stuff it with a snipy post)! Are you NOT the individual who posted an obituary in the thread on Newell? Maybe I am not spelling it correctly. I have been UNABLE to find any information on that man and I know it was mentioned in this thread and I thought it was YOU. I have been trying to get the thread to move in that direction and there are STRONG reasons to do so. That man's history needs to be check back on - and there needs to be Pictures of the man made available in his yrs of life. Also some vital statistics - height, weight. There needs to be details of his BACKGROUND - when he was here and when he went there along with pics. I need to KNOW MORE about this man. WE need to know MORE about this man. Perhaps someone could get one of his remaining relatives to come here and tell THEIR story. We know things change from generation to generation - but, I WANT to know MORE about this MAN. Understand ALL of this started in Spokane per old times who live there. Back in the beginning after the crime happened - some of the investigation concentrated on Spokane and then it was just forgotten...went POOF! NO one wrote about it, No one quoted articles in the Spokane papers - everything anyone proposed and the individuals who claimed Cooper came out of Spokane - they went POOF! WHY! You know how to pull history and so do other in this thread. If this case is ever going to be solved the public has to go back to the beginning - to the first phone calls into the FBI office in 1971. Will the FBI ever release those leads and those phone calls. Bet they don't! They will quote PRIVACY LAWS!Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Report Date : JAN 1966 Pagination or Media Count : 24 Abstract : The AN/URT-21 Locator Beacon and riser antenna were installed in several different locations in the B-5 Back Style and AP28S-10 parachutes. Live and dummy drop tests were conducted at altitudes of 1500 to 5000 feet in temperatures of -5F to 29F. Monitoring stations at a distance of 2 to 28 miles from the drop zones reported signals heard from time of parachute deployment until ground contact was made. Air-crew members wore the back style parachute with the beacon installed between the pack tray and back cushion. A study of their subjective evaluation of the comfort of this parachute was conducted in F-102, B-47 and KC-135 aircraft. After simulating ejection procedures and flying duties, aircrew members reported very minor or no discomfort and no interference with flying duties. It is recommended that beacons be installed between the pack tray and back pad, that the beacon activating button be made of rubberized material, and that the activating cord be tied on the riser.

I read an article in the last few days during my searches. I thought someone on this thread sent it to me. I spoke about a man who invented Ultrasuede and used it inside of the Chutes backpack to provide a place for the pingers and the tested this. It had dates ranging in the 60's. It was all during this. The man who invented the ultrasuede was involved - and it talked about the pingers...I may have been on a search for someone out of Duane's past and thought I had the name wrong. Everything is so confused right now. This was during the time you mentioned the seals and I was looking for Fields or shields because I could not understand him on the phone. You corrected me - it was seals and my search went from there either by some one contacting me or something I did. But this article was about the PINGER and how they concealed them and made them comfortable to be put in the backpacks because they were 2 inches plus. The article went on to indicate they be used by the military after this. The yrs mentioned in the article was in the 60's. I do NOT know what or who directed me in this way. Now I have to find the damn article.Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrshutter45 21 #37489 January 15, 2013 Ultrasuede is the trade name for a synthetic microfiber fabric invented in 1970 by Dr. Miyoshi Okamoto, a scientist working for Toray Industries. In Japan it is sold under the brand name Ecsaine. It was the world's first ultra-microfiber. It is often described as an artificial substitute for suede leather. The fabric is multifunctional: it is used in fashion, interior decorating, automotive and other vehicle upholstery, and industrial applications, such as protective fabric for electronic equipment. It is also a very popular fabric in the manufacture of footbags (also known as hacky sacks). Other manufacturers such as Sensuede and Majilite also produce similar product lines of synthetic microfiber suede construction."It is surprising how aggressive people get, once they latch onto their suspect and say, 'Hey, he's our guy.'

377 20 #37491 January 16, 2013 Jo, I haven't been able to find anything about ultrasuede and pingers (also called bailout beacons, locator beacons etc). Can't see how ultra suede would uniquely solve any comfort or fit problem with pingers, but I'm no expert on the subject of pinger mounting. I also can't see why a pocket made from ordinary parachute rig nylon wouldn't do just as well as ultra suede and nylon is already a proven and accepted fabric for military rigs. I spent some time at the Toray HQ in Japan back in the 90s. I didn't know a Toray employee invented ultrasuede. We were sourcing a special laminate fabric at the time for a military contract and Toray had the best stuff in the world. 3772018 marks half a century as a skydiver.

Jo, There is no need for a special material to be used for the pinger pockets. Standard parachute pack material would get the job done with ease and this would be obvious to any rigger. I think you have gotten some things mixed up one way or the other. Also, even if Blevins departs according to your wishes, YOU still don't have anything whatsoever connecting Duane Weber to Cooper.

Jo, We hacked up a hell of a lot of 1950's and 1960's parachute harness and containers and C-9 canopy's during the 1970's while I was teaching USAF Survival. The things had a 7 year shelf life and after that they were removed from service and many of them were sent to Fairchild AFB to be used in survival training. They were used to make shelters, ropes, clothing, sleeping bags, tumpline pack straps, belts, knife sheath's, canteen covers and anything else imaginable to IMPROVISE needed items utilizing the materials an airman would have after bailing or ejecting from a USAF aircraft. I do not remember ever seeing Ultrasuede on any harness or container from that era. .( DB's would have been retired sometime in the 1960's or earlier) Most of the material in a harness and container was made of nylon webbing about 2" wide and nylon pack material. Some of the canopy's had an inner deployment bag that retarded openings a bit and worked well as a water bag carrier. Others came with nice comfy back pads that covered the harness by snapping onto the parachute container. On other rigs that pad was replaced by a PLD (personal lowering device) that was flat nylon webbing 3/4" wide and flat folded to give the airman 200 feet plus to allow them to get down out of a tree should they have landed in a big ass tree like those found in the triple canopies of SE Asia's jungles. The thread used to sew and improvise a lot of these devices was the inner core of the 550 parachute suspension lines after it was stripped out of the outer sheath. Teaching some of those college boys to sew even in a rudimentary manner was "challenging”. There was also a certain amount of spandex to keep some things held in place. Perhaps someone thought that was something it was not. Usually the beacon was already removed from the systems sent to us... and once in a while the PE shop would throw us a bone and forget to take out the little survival kit that was packed in a small pouch inside the parachute container.

The container was manufactured 3/88 and the pocket in question is mounted on the right side and would be completely enclosed in the container when it is packed with a parachute. The pocket is about 10.5 inches long, about 1.5 inches wide, and 1.5 inches high. There are 0.75 inch diameter holes in each side of the pocket and they are centered about 3.0 inches from the top of the pocket. The pocket is closed by a zipper fastener. A flap is sewn on the right side of the pocket and covers the zipper and is secured on the left side by a nomex closure. Robert99 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
