Elvis..

What was their response,, can't find it or private info?

Your argument is illogical.

Basically no, it was a reserve but some have said there is technically a very slight amount of steer ability if you can manipulate the rig,, I don't know anything about that. Essentially, no steer ability or extremely little.. Cooper didn't have control over his LZ.

I submitted a FOIA for the packing cards... I've also submitted a FOIA for Max Gunther's notes.. There is a theory I have been exploring..

Other way around the Pioneer left behind #226 was referred to as a "luxury type" vs his custom NB6/8 military one Cossey claimed Cooper used.. Both cards state they were Pioneer's... Hayden said they were the same in the context of type, not necessarily "identical". Hayden disagreed with Cossey's description of the chutes in the media...

Extremely unlikely, but even if it were true,, it doesn't change the argument or conclusion.. that Cooper took back chute #60-9707... Another possibility is that somebody found the card in Reno on the plane and put it in the chute pocket, but that still doesn't change the conclusion. Hayden's returned chute #226

but, only the 60-9707 card was found in the pocket of that chute,,, the other 226 (original May 21,1971) card ended up back in the back chute left on the plane and returned to Hayden. No indication where card #226 was actually found on the plane. Tosaw claimed Cooper removed the cards.. no source given,, and Tina said he checked over the chutes. Anyway, no matter the precise details... the facts remain.. There were two back chute cards that matched Hayden's two back chutes, both packed by Cossey May 21, 1971. One card, #226 was returned to Hayden with the chute left on the plane and it was subsequently repacked twice.. the other card #60-9707 is missing its back chute and that had to be the chute Cooper used. That card description doesn't match Cossey's description. The chute left behind is now at the WSHS museum and it likely has the #226 card in the pocket, it might have Cooper's DNA on it, though it was probably handled by up to a half dozen people after Cooper.

I would think so,, there is no other explanation. Tosaw also said in his book that Cooper removed the packing card. Books aren't always 100% accurate. It looks like during inspection of the chutes Cooper removed the card from the chute he used and put it in the chute left behind.. or possibly he left it behind and somebody in Reno put it in the chute pocket. I would assume he checked the packing cards, compared them and chose the newer one... then placed the card back in the chute he left behind. Fact is we have two back chute packing cards documented as being found on the plane.. both match the packing date for Hayden's two chutes. One card was returned to Hayden with the chute,, the other had to have been the back chute Cooper used. and the FBI never figured this out.

Yes, he was referring to the type of chute/container when he said he believed they were the same.. He also told Bruce he never looked inside at the chutes so he wouldn't have known the chute colour.. The S/N of the packing card in the chute in that 302 is 60-9707 manufactured July '60.. The chute left on the plane returned to Hayden with its card states S/N 226, manufactured Sept '57. So, there were two back chute packing cards found on the plane and both were Hayden's chutes packed by Cossey May 21, '71.. If S/N 226 was returned to Hayden then Cooper must have used S/N 60-9707, removed the card and the FBI never figured that out. The FBI had the packing card for the chute Cooper used, the FBI never figured it out and it doesn't match Cossey's description.

I read somewhere that McChord was contacted but due to the Thanksgiving Eve they couldn't get in touch with the right authority to obtain the chutes.. they reached out to Cossey at home and he suggested getting all of them from Issaquah.. Meanwhile they had secured the two backs from Hayden. So, Emrich only supplied the two fronts. still don't see Emrich accidentally grabbing a dummy chute..

Hayden didn't know the chute colour.. he said he never looked inside. The early report in the 302 had Cooper's chute container olive drab and cotton tan harness... 11/25 Cossey described Cooper's chute as sage green nylon container and harness.. 11/26 There were many chutes found over the years that were rejected because they didn't match Cossey's description.. no way to track them down now.. and yes the customized ripcord was for Cossey's personal chute not Hayden's.. Besides, a rigger would never pack two emergency rigs for a pilot/non-jumper and customize one of the ripcords making hard to pull..

Here is the parachute keystone.. Cossey was contacted about chutes and told them to get them from Issaquah. Lynn Emrick was initially asked for all four parachutes.. but he learned that the two backs were supplied by "Hayden" and only the two fronts were needed. So, Cossey still believed all four including the backs came from Issaquah and were his.. Cossey was called and made aware of the chutes left on the plane in Reno, he gave the description of his chute he believed was used. Cossey would have learned shortly that his back chutes weren't used but he never corrected it and never provided his packing records. Since he did pack Hayden's chutes Cossey's narrative could float in a sort of gray area.. without getting exposed,,, until now. Cossey's description is wrong, they were looking for the wrong chute.

Airport, 1970

It is just a straight line from Seattle to Reno... just a TV graphic.. It doesn't go anywhere near Cle Elum.. and neither does the other recent flightpath you posted with the same false claim,, PRO TIP,, if you post evidence and make a claim make sure it actually supports your argument..

That CBS flight path does not go to Cle Elum,, not even close.. It is just a TV graphic showing a straight line from Seattle to Reno.. it isn't meant to represent the flightpath, they probably had not even established it yet. Your argument is nonsense, The recent flightpath you posted also does not go anywhere close to Cle Elum. Your "evidence" even rules out Reca...

I was just thinking about that,,, The sticks were red,, people have claimed it was fake because dynamite was only tan,, this is false, I found there was red dynamite. Maybe, Cooper just copied the bomb from the Airport movie...

Not known... This cut suggests it was cut by a right handed person,, based on the two angles. Flip it over and cut up... right handed.

Having the hand in the case isn't that decisive, he could used the dominant hand and switched as witnesses have said.. left hand and right hand in the case. What screams right hand is carrying the case to the lav in his left,, you carry things in your non-dominant hand because you need to use your dominant hand to open doors etc.... You can't switch hands mid carry, Cooper would have used his right hand to open the lav door (latch)....

Both,,, You and the Reca team have done nothing but pollute the Cooper landscape with misinformation.. perhaps that was part of the plan.

Not name calling, stating a fact.. You keep making completely false, dishonest and unsubstantiated claims.. over and over.. it is all you do. You do not contribute to this forum whatsoever.. You are not pursuing the truth, you are shilling for Reca and everybody knows it.

It isn't a Cooper sketch... You are just being a troll...

He is wrong, so are you. In fact, I don't know of anyone who gets as much wrong as you. Why are you even here. KK5-1 was not a Cooper sketch, it was an image in the FBI facial identification catalog, the FBI implied the catalog was destroyed, of course it was 50 years old.. KK5-1 was used as the basis for Sketch B.... Edwards missed this.. and there is no missing evidence. Sketch B was released publicly and the catalog image KK5-1 is in the 302.. Edwards wants a higher resolution image. There is nothing new there or significant.. Sketch B was done as a process going between the witnesses and they generally agreed on the final sketch B.. So yes, you have nothing but misinformation as usual.

Yes, they went to a new system, those catalogs were very hard to get outside the FBI,, you had to be highly credentialed in law enforcement.

They didn't, the image is in the 302's.. if it was destroyed then why is it posted in this forum.. they tossed a 50 year old catalog that was not evidence. The hair was lost, the butts were destroyed after lab analysis..
