FLYJACK

Ratazcak also mentioned them. Beat me to it.. Lights are important... Cooper was wearing sunglasses.. how did he see with the lights off and how or what could Tina see looking back at Cooper in the dark? She was maybe 25 feet away.. closing the curtain.

Tosaw is very reliable,,, but not 100% He said Tina grabbed that second matchbook from the cabinet.. that would be the Skychef one,, When Cooper's matchbook, the ICS was empty. That means Cooper did not bring the Skychef matches with him. It makes sense.

Good points,, but at 4 min after takeoff Tina turns and sees Cooper standing with the lights out,, How well could she Cooper in the dark and would he have still had his sunglasses on? She did say she never saw his face straight on and never without his glasses.

Not only dimming but different sections.. Al Lee... lights out AFT section.. 4 min after take-off lights were out in rear.. it doesn't actually say Tina turned them off then... just that they were off..... and how well did Tina see him in the dark then? It isn't clear about the sequence or timing of the lights but Cooper was in the rear with Sunglasses and no lights and he had to lower the stairs and go down them to jump.. Did he remove his sunglasses?? I always wondered if he had a flashlight or used one of the plane's flashlights..

Sounds reasonable but the lighting isn't as simple as on or off..

Hard to believe the FBI would give up a potential DNA profile,,

Fuel driver said the rear interior of the plane was dark... this pic may have been taken earlier.

Here,, and stairs,,

Georger,, Roman is detailed in FBI file #46.. Crazy story,, could be a movie, I suspect he forged his credentials and wasn't a legit Dr.. he even has a patent.. not Cooper though. Amazing find about the 727 air drop in the newspaper,, it was even more amazing about 6 years ago when I posted it on Shutter's site, it was discussed with muted enthusiasm, if I recall I also posted details about the 727M prototype designed for air drops in the 60's and also an article in an aviation publication stating that the 727 airstairs were successfully lowered inflight during initial testing 63/64.. Maybe you guys can find those in the next 6 years. Tom has thrown cold water on the TiSb particles but Olemiss still misrepresents the TiSb patent.. The patent is for a production process not TiSb in 18%.. Although TiSb is mentioned in a ratio range it is not exclusive to the patent and there is no evidence it was ever even produced in the same ratio as the tie particles.. That patent is entirely irrelevant to the tie particles... Vordahl has no connection to Norjak. The person who contacted Gunther was in NY... not Dayton. But I agree Cooper has some aviation experience.. some military... that narrows it down to maybe 50,000 guys..

Nope, ears.

Wise words...

I find that most don't actually understand Gunther's book premise.. what he is actually claiming as fact. He did not claim as fact that he was contacted by Cooper or that "Clara's" story was true. Basically, these are what Gunther claims are true. Gunther and others were contacted by somebody claiming to be Cooper. Gunther contacted the FBI and Himmelsbach. Gunther was contacted by a "Clara" and given a narrative.

Why is Nicky deleting posts??

Yes, Cooper had aviation experience and that rules out a lot of suspects.

More info.. The FAA replaced the Civil Aeronautics Administration... They had IFR rules, here an example in 1947... (may be earlier) essentially it says.. ATC has the determination for flight plans. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwibuKfs0NiDAxVxIDQIHfXpDCMQFnoECCYQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Frosap.ntl.bts.gov%2Fview%2Fdot%2F52922%2Fdot_52922_DS1.pdf&usg=AOvVaw0V7w-cvOM10CWCE65apAb9&opi=89978449

Agree, this case is riddled with uncertainties... IFR goes way back though,, I agree Cooper had some flying experience and it may be after 1950's but IFR did exist prior so earlier exposure can't be ruled out,, or maybe both. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/history-visual-flight-rules-vfr-world-invention-airpaceaviation https://www.faa.gov/sites/faa.gov/files/about/history/pioneers/First_Instrument_Flight_Doolittle.pdf

This is a push... Cooper.. 1 could have read the label on the cover. He was siting right across in view and there is a label. Look closely. 2 could have researched it prior in case the plane went above 10,000 ft. perhaps on a previous 727 flight 3 could have just been brushing off Tina 4 could have actual 727 experience.. I lean toward 1 or 2 but who knows.

Nobody knows if the bills were spent or not.. or lost.. or hidden?? For people claiming the bills would have been destroyed if in circulation,,, I found a Cooper serial number match to a circulated 1963 $1 bill. L00000004B https://currency.ha.com/itm/small-size/federal-reserve-notes/fr-1901-l-1-1963a-federal-reserve-note-pmg-very-fine-25/a/3516-16537.s?ic16=ViewItem-BrowseTabs-Auction-Archive-ThisAuction-120115 and a second 1974 https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/1974-one-dollar-bill-low-serial-1944779999 What are the odds of that???

Yes, I have been checking star notes and some others with unique numbers like repeating digits or sequences with the same premise that people would save them as collectibles... Might consider mentioning the unique numbers as well..

You are confused,, what a surprise.... Electroplating is the process.. you can electroplate an alloy. Pure gold 24k is considered 99%... other gold for example 14k, 18k or 22k are ALLOYS. Eric claimed his tie clasp example was 14k, most of the ones I found that match Cooper's MOP clasp are 18k... an alloy of 75% gold.. We don't know for sure which gold was on the tie clasp.. it was NOT pure gold, it was an alloy. Pure gold is not used on cheap jewelry and pure gold is soft and wears easily.. The gold on the tie clasp is an alloy. PERIOD. The process of electroplating is irrelevant.

What do you think 14k gold is.. AN ALLOY. Do you think they use pure gold on $3.00 tie clasps.. Again, you have no idea what you're talking about and double down, trying insults digs you deeper. Don't waste my time..

So, Ckret was wrong.. Mitchell and Gregory had Cooper under 5' 10"... Cooper was seated almost the entire time.. he stood up to go to the lav when Tina was leaving the plane.. "Miss MUCKLOW furnished the following physical description of the unknown subject, it being noted that Miss MUCKLOW is approximately 5' 8" in height and she observed the hijacker in a seated position except for the brief period when he went to the lavatory." Research on witness recall for height shows that people don't actually know a suspect height but estimate based on averages based on other characteristics. Race, weight, build etc... Also, males are better at estimating a male height than females are... would Gregory and Mitchell estimate Cooper at 5' 9" if he was 6' or taller.. doubt it. but, safe to say Cooper in shoes was taller than Tina... how tall was Tina,,, exactly?

Wrong.. 14k gold is an alloy.. not pure gold. The tie clip was not pure gold. My point is that there is pure gold (99%) and many higher gold alloys that were not from the tie clip..

On the gold... this was convoluted. Gold plating like 14k is an alloy.. the tie clip would have that lower % alloy. The tie had many alloys from 53-99% and even 100% pure gold.. The tie clip would not be the source for the higher % alloys or the pure gold (99%) found on the tie,,, None of these are gold plating on cheap jewelry...

You can try but it won't help.. Height recall is unreliable... and self reported heights are not accurate for wearing shoes.. The best we get is a range... and the FBI used 5' 8" as the lower bound for suspect reported hieghts, so unless you know something that they didn't you are still dealing with dissimilar datasets and estimates. Safe to say Cooper was most likely between 5' 8" and 6' in shoes... Sweet spot is 5' 10".. it would not surprise me if Cooper was "5' 9" to 5" 11" in shoes... self reported height would be less.
