FLYJACK

So, this eliminated Reca... he knew nothing about the airstairs, didn't know 305 was a 727 and wanted to jump out the side door. check mate

Ulis did a video and he screws up the "negotiable American Currency" argument.. Ulis argued that anybody could say uncirculated or negotiable and it does not indicate a Canadian... Of course that is true but he doesn't understand the actual argument is based on the use of the qualifier "American" and "US". The pilots said "American currency" and Tina said Cooper later told her "US Currency".. the argument has nothing to with "uncirculated" or "negotiable".. The real argument.. A person who was always in the US and only ever dealt with US money would not qualify the ransom money with "American" and "US".. they would just say currency or money. Imagine somebody who has never left the US going into a bank and asking for American or US money.. It doesn't make sense, there is no reason to qualify the money. Since Cooper used the qualifier "American" and" US" for the currency that strongly suggests he had spent time outside the US recently... He could be a foreigner or an American who spent a lot of time outside the US. Basically, Cooper had an international aspect to his life...

Lunacy...

Cooper's initial demand was stairs lowered in flight.. When the range and Reno refuel was being negotiated Cooper still wanted a stew to operate the stairs... it was the crew that suggested locking the stairs partially open for take off to get Tina off the plane,, but that was impossible. Cooper never asked for stairs locked. He thought the cockpit crew locked the stairs. IMO, the stairs lowered for takeoff was first suggested by the crew,, Cooper accepted but still wanted the stew to stay,, The crew then had to convince him to takeoff with stairs up. Cooper knew about aviation but not the 727 air stairs specifically..

Those are not necessarily alloys.. I think of those more like dust particles, not pieces. Many are probably everywhere. Tom found pieces of SS and Titanium.. but no steel. But, some particles may have come from the plane.. Two sources.. the bulkhead door was open and the third engine was right there... exhaust particles entering cabin.... Abegglen et al. applied single particle mass spectrometry to investigate metal content and sources in emissions from different jet engines at various combustion conditions, and Mo, Ca, Na, Fe, Cu, Ba, Cr, Al, Si, Mg, Co, Mn, V, Ni, Pb, Ti and Zr were found to be significant frequently occurring metals. Also, the 727 used a bleed air system of for the cabin... so the cabin would get contaminated with exhaust particles... the 727 exhaust is full of exotic particles..

In 1965-70,, SS 300 was common, 400 much less common but add even less common titanium and lack of regular steel.. It is also what was not found that makes it unique...

That is very plausible,, I have speculated that he used the tie to wipe prints. If you look at the particle distribution via UV on the tie it isn't uniform or random, it has horizontal smears in several places as if something was wiped across it. The particle distribution occurred via a specific process..

You wouldn't normally wear both a pin and a bar on a cheap tie.. one or the other.. the pin was used long term based on the significant hole. So, why use the bar at all. Maybe, he did expect to jump with it on and wanted it secured but he unintentionally left it behind. Once you have a hole in a tie, normally you keep using the hole and don't switch to a bar.. If the pin was identifiable he would have removed it. Or, if it was just an old tie he grabbed that he hadn't used for some time the pin may have already been removed. Logo pins have more meaning than a generic bar.. IMO, the tie (circa 1964/65) was normally worn with a pin for years, then stored for a time collecting dust before Cooper added the bar for the hijacking... Tom said there was no regular steel on the tie and that makes it unique as most shop environments have steel.. The tie was not in a welding environment. SS 300 and 400 and Titanium indicate a more specialized environment.

Complete nonsense.. Mentalism is a self serving confirmation bias trick... You can't apply logic and reason if you have the facts wrong,, and you have almost all of the facts wrong.. and in doing so you have constructed a completely false narrative. And it is getting beyong tiring..

No, you have no evidence Cooper purchased the tie for the hijacking... and create a narrative from ignorance. You can't apply logic when you have poor case knowledge or have the facts wrong. and you keep making false statements,,, The facts.. for what I typed. There was significant dust in the knot, that indicates it was not used recently, but stored. The labels confirm it was bought new around 1964/65. The tie particles indicate a very unique and specialized technical environment. The tie was $1.50 in 1965. There was no regular steel on the tie. There is a significant tie pin hole in the tie indicating long term use by a pin. A black skinny clipon tie was very common for many years, not unique or identifiable. So, you have a cheap, common, six year old, dirty, recently unused tie from a highly specialized environment. Zero evidence it was just bought for the hijacking.

Logically, if they were very commonplace then they wouldn't be uniquely identified.. and wearing it would not be an issue. Like a plane white shirt.. the tie is not unique.. my point is the tie tack is more identifiable and was likely not worn with the tie.. because of the tie pin hole, it was normally worn with a tie pin. The second hand store is a guess with no evidence. The tie had very rare and unique particles, was very cheap and lots of dust in the knot.. It has no steel on it so it wasn't worn by a welder... besides who welds in a tie. It was an old tie, sitting not worn for years, normally worn with a tie pin. Bought around 1965 and worn in a very unique environment.

This always bugged me,, the tie has a serious hole in it from a pin and it appears from long term use.. You wouldn't normally wear a tie with an obvious hole in it and use a tie tack that doesn't cover it.... So, why change it,, perhaps the tie pin was a company pin.

I never claimed you were wrong.. David Slim King, however, just seems to get almost everything grossly wrong..

Where do you think it is?

Sure,, Here NorthWest 727 N274US had a Fairchild 5424 FDR... the 5424 was very common. So, it is a virtual certainty they had flight 305's heading on the FDR which they examined and used to calculate Cooper's LZ...

You believe in an Eastern flight path and Reca, so you have less than zero credibility... but Cooper was questioning the time, the delay. They initially tried to get the chutes from McChord.. the crew wasn't lying to Cooper, they thought they were coming form McChord.. Due to the Thanksgiving eve they couldn't get in contact with an authority, so they called Cossey and Hayden.. Walter Reca Peca is done, over, thoroughly debunked..

This is a readout from a Fairchild 5424 Flight Data Recorder.. NorthWest used them on 1970 era 727's, can't confirm this model was on NORJAK but very likely. It records heading, airspeed, altitude and time. Norjak FDR was examined and used to establish Cooper's LZ. Since it records heading, the path can be corroborated. It was never in question.

Walter Reca was not Cooper and is a complete waste of time,,, The Walter Reca / Peca Cooper narrative is a scam, a fraud, a fictional story manufactured with no evidence and easily debunked by the evidence. Walter Reca is probably the worst higher profile Cooper suspect.. Carl Laurin was researching the Cooper case prior to taping Walter Reca... unfortunately Carl was a terrible researcher. In the taped interview, Carl led Reca with case information he had researched and he probably discussed it prior to the taping with Walter. AND still they get most of it wrong. Carl tapes Walter Reca late 2008… his voice is a perfect match to the radio caller... Carl is leading Reca in those tapes… and Carl is telling Walter what to say.. and they still get most things wrong. In early 2008, well before he tapes Reca, Carl calls into a radio interview with Larry Carr. https://principiamedia.podbean.com/?utm_source=podnews.net&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=podcast-page An incomplete list of obvious flaws.. Walter Reca flaws.. claims he asked for used $20’s,,, Cooper never gave a denomination claims he didn’t get all used bills,,, Cooper got all used/circulated bills claims he drank scotch and water,,, Cooper drank a Bourbon and 7up claims he didn’t pick a 727 and wanted to jump out the side door,,, never happened claims the flight path went East to Cle Elum,,, never happened flight path went South to Portland then Red Bluff and over to Reno. claims communicated only through stew,,, Cooper did talk to cockpit through interphone claims scribbled on napkin,,, never any evidence of this claims he didn’t know the 727 had a rear door,,, Cooper and passengers entered the plane via the rear door claims wearing penny loafers,,, that was a media error, the shoes were described by stew as ankle high and laceless Does not recall when he ordered plane to Mexico. Does not recall how long plane was on ground in Seattle. Told them going to Reno,, never happened, Reno was later suggested by crew. claims he asked for stall speed to keep plane slow for jump,,, never happened. January 2008 recording... Larry Carr does the Steve Rinehart of K-TALK, 630 AM Salt Lake City at 25:15 Carl (Laurin) calls in with some questions.. Rinehart, Carr interview.. SR: We have some callers. I want to continue asking you questions of my own, but let’s try to fit a couple of them in here, as we go. LC: Sure. SR: We got Carl on the Salt Lake county line. Carl, you’re on the air with Agent Carr. Carl: Yeah, hi. The FBI put on the newspapers the composite drawings. Now, are these pretty accurate in terms of the people who actually came in contact with the hijacker? LC: Yeah, you know everyone that came in contact with that gentleman in the interview with a sketch artist. They went about their process, developing all of the parameters of the individual’s face. They went back and constructed these sketches and then they were sent back out to the field. Each person looked them over. The three stewardesses involved looked them over, and there were some changes made to the original one. Once the stewardesses gave the thumbs up that this is the best representation, and that’s what was put out to the public. Carl: Okay, and then these thousands of suspects you developed, did they fit the basic description then? LC: Well, you know, a lot of them were ruled out basically on the physical descriptors of who D.B. Cooper was. Not necessarily the sketch, but basically the physical parameters; the dark complexion, or the olive skin complexion. Well, if your suspect’s fair skinned, and even if they weren’t solely ruled out on that, that’s one tick. Yeah okay, I guess if this person, if they were 5’7, as opposed to what was reported as 5’10 to 6’1, there’s another tick, that hey maybe this isn’t the right person. If they had blue eyes... Well, we’re pretty sure D.B. Cooper had brown eyes. So, you know, rule that off. Yeah, you know, a lot of the suspects were ruled because they didn’t fit the physical criteria. Carl: Yeah, I mean, since the FBI, they have this belief that the man may’ve been killed in the jump or when he hit the ground. Did the FBI conduct a search among the missing person reports? LC: Well you look at the databases back then, you know, long before the time of the computer, it was easier to connect the dots as far as missing persons go. So there was, of course, an effort at the missing persons database, but it just simply didn’t really exist back in that point of time. You know, it would’ve individual sheriff departments that would’ve collected the data, and someone had to do that. I couldn’t even guess how many sheriff’s departments there are in the United States, but I would imagine it was well into the thousands. Carl: Yeah, you know, is it possible when the hijacker got on the plane he would’ve changed his appearance? Like wearing a wig or maybe wearing these thick soled shoes so, you know, it’d make it appear that he might be taller, or maybe colored his hair a different color. Is that at all possible? LC: All that is possible, but when you look at how much time, especially Tina Mucklow, spent, the hijacker, shoulder-to-shoulder with him... You know, you can try these experiments yourself. Go ahead and put some makeup on your skin, if you’re fair skinned, and put enough on to swarthy, and then have someone sit next to you. You’re going to see that makeup, it’s going to be pancaked on to you. Same thing with a wig, it looked very unnatural, especially during 1971. So if someone’s wearing a wig, it’s going to be very noticeable. Carl: What seat was he sitting in before he, you know, hijacked the plane? LC: He was sitting in the very back, and I don’t have the file in front of me so... Carl: Was he sitting next to somebody else with whom he had a conversation? LC: No, he was sitting all by himself in a row of three. And, you know, ultimately, Flo Schaffner sat by him originally, and Tina Mucklow the rest of the flight. Carl: What type of firearm did he have? LC: No firearm. SR: And a grenade. LC: No grenade. He had opened up his briefcase and there was either dynamite or road flares in there. Carl: Yeah, well interesting case. I wish you good luck Agent Carr. SR: Carl, thanks for the call. We appreciate it. Carl: Yeah, thank you. Goodbye.

How did Cooper get to Portland airport... We don't know, but most likely, he took a cab. Most people took a cab. The FBI showed bus/cab drivers sketch "A" but that sketch was bad... so nobody would be able to recognize Cooper from the sketch. A cabbie could have dropped off Cooper been shown the sketch and never made the connection.. Having a bad sketch was worse than no sketch.. same applies for Hotels..

Hayden is acknowledged in the FBI files early on though some 302's state Cossey owned the chutes.. There are two reasons for the confusion. Since Cossey first packed the back chutes, the assumption was that the chutes were owned by Cossey previous to Hayden. And Cossey never denied Hayden to the FBI, only in the media years later.. So, the FBI likely believed that Hayden had purchased Cossey's custom NB6/8 and Pioneer. That is why they relied on Cossey for chute id.. However, Cossey never provided his packing records and even claimed he had. Cossey's description of the back chutes did not match the earliest description of the back chutes. There were two back chute packing cards found on the plane, one was returned to Hayden and the other did not match Cossey's description. Many years later, Cossey falsely claimed the chute left on the plane was returned to him. He told Carr and others the back chutes came from his house... He also said the back chutes came from Issaquah.. he also said that the chute Cooper used was his modified chute.

Flight path V-23..

The back chutes came from Hayden not Cossey, he packed them six months prior.. and they never met each other. There is no connection to Cooper. Cooper thought the chutes were coming from McChord,,

1972

Somebody may have found the wallet and sent it back, a murderer would not want stolen cards of his victim. Chutes were not "tagged" by Cossey, his name was on the packing card as the last/first packer in May '71 for Hayden's... So, Cossey hadn't handled the back chutes for 6 months.
