  1. "These are good points, but remember: Cooper expected the money to come in either a knapsack or a backpack, NOT a canvas bag with a leather handle and a leather strap. (From Bill Rataczak) " This is an assumption not fact. Ratz is just like everyone else in this case. AN ASSUMPTION, not a fact based comment.
  2. Question- we all assume the ocolation bump is the point in time where Cooper jumper. Right?? Wel here is a question I have been wondering about the timeline. are we marking that occurance as to when Ratz reported it to control for the time? Was there or could there have been any delay maybe for discussion between the crew as to what it was before it was reported? A 30 second delay at that speed would shift the estimated LZ a considerable distance. has this time stamp for this ever been questioned ever been addressed?
  3. Georger, Go to utube and check out the last second shot for the ISU win over Creighton. It should make ESPN highlights. it was incredible. 6-1 in the valley. Need some help putting some L's in Missouri State record, Bradley ain't helping us tonight.
  4. quade, You have two confirmed kills today, and a lot of day left. Trouble is brewing between Jo and Jerry, Do I see a Hat trick coming today?? HA!
  5. 377, you know we are not aloud to jump thru a cloud deck. I think you really were talking about the industrial haze we encountered over Rantoul Illinois? Right! HA!
  6. "Unfortunately, Jerry passed away." Georger- you have a way to contact Jerry outside this forum. Can you shine in on this outlandish statement and maybe make a phone call? And I think it's time to bring Jerry back to address all of these accusations. Wow! I need a program to keep up with this forum. Let me understand what I have read in the last 24 hours- Quade really isn't Quade, Jerry is Dead, McCoy is alive. Amazon is quitting skydiving and becoming a Sturgeon guide and joining the pro bass tour? What's next????
  7. AL, A very simple question that other jumpers have asked and you have failed to address. I will now ask for a simple answer. I simply want to know how he attached it to the as you call it harness without any hardware that comes on the rig or as you say harness. Remember i am just a dumb skydiver who happens to have done it over 4000 times in my life and once out the back of a jet. We would really like to know how he attached a belly mount reserve, the money and thought this was the way "he trusted".
  8. Georger, Just to start your morning off right I figured I should paraphrase a headline from here in Indiana from last nights basketball action. My Indiana State Sycamores 70, Georger's Northern Iowa Panthers 45!
  9. Sluggo, My post about Rupert was a compliment. Here in Indiana he is a bit of a celeberty that everyone likes. Let's just say he won a Million Dollars at the end and is doing great thing with it. Google "Ruperts kids". The orther Richard thing was a tong in Cheek thing.
  10. Jamie, Yes several of us such as 377, myself, quade, and a few other have been out the back of the DC-9 jet we are talking about that is owned by Perris Valley Skydiving. There are a few others who I have probably missed that have jumped it also and I apologize for ommitting your name. There are also a very few jumpers on the forum that got the opprtunity to jump the 727 at the WFFC the few times it showed there. That was what my recent traffic was about. Yount's statement i think is incorrect right now. There are no jets that can be jumped at this time outside of if the military is doing it. So you learned somthing, us loudmouths have a little idea what Cooper felt going out that door.
  11. 377, my point was right now and when the "expert" skydiver filmed his piece there were ZERO 727 that have approval from the FAA to haul jumpers, and i know of none outside the US either. Quade- you may be able to answer this. I know Perris's jet is "down for repairs". is their flight status still valid by the FAA if it was functioning? That may not be the correct teminology. can they still put jumpers out of the jet?
  12. Safe, I have to correct you on one point. Sluggo would be Rupert! The guy everyone loves, has useful knowledge but tries not to cause too many waves. Sluggo- at least i didn't say Richard Hatch!
  13. I have to go back and watch it again, but the "expert" skydiver they had on camera stated there were organizations today that had 727's in their fleet for jumping purposes. HHMMMM??? Shure would like to know where. Bet Perris would have loved to know this when they were fighting with the FAA on the DC 9 they have to jump which i thought was the only fleet jet approved for jumping and I am not talking about Don at the WFFC having one once. I did not watch real close but saw numerous white lies lik this in the show. Robert, you did well!
  14. Decisions, Decisions, Decisions! Do I watch Blevis show tonight, or do Iwatch the new Grey's Anatomy? HHHMMMMMM!
  15. Robert, In my old age I am trying to set my DVR, (dangerous task for us old guys). What is the date and time for the History channel upcoming show?
  16. Georger, Put all this Cooper stuff aside and talk serious stuff for a moment. BASKETBALL! Who is going to win the Missouri Valley Conference this year, Your Northern Iowa boys, or my Indiana State Sycamores? HA! Do we need to make a bet on it? Welcome back my friend!
  17. Hemlin, Hughes, and Kirby tried it together on Fastrax and couldn't make it work. I t will be interesting how a change of address changes the outcome.
  18. Damn Quade, you are really getting into this Cooper thing. Early on you stated this thread was a waste of time now you are one of the leading posters lately. Are you becoming a little addicted?
  19. Paul, I am now going to join the quest of a few of the other jumpers that are left reading this forum have pleaded the case before. I think Snowman has leardned his lesson. In reading Young Coopers accusation towards Snowman, I am asking you to give pardon and let Snow back as long as he behaves and kept on a short leash. Georger should only have a few days left, and he should be able to post. This place needs some real talent again. I think the majority of the people who were here before Snow was sent to time out have asked for him to be brought back. Come on Quade ol' boy even Jim Morrison was pardoned.
  20. Robert, Nice work, be proud of it! objective with the others and layed facts with your guy. I applaude the work and will be buying a copy, unless you are giving all the DZ.commers a copy since it is Xmas tomorrow! Merry Christmas to all!
  21. Dennis Anderson! Like many he helped me progress in my abilities. RIP YOU WERE A GREAT MAN!
  22. Young Cooper, Go get em kid. As you leave for the wealth of the Facebook world,I leave you with a saying that i hope someday you may understand. Too soon we grow old too late we grow wise.
  23. Jamie you just posted: "while I just recently proved the FBI and others were using a misleading comic book cover, I see no tangible reason to mistrust the FBI. most likely it was an honest mistake. I read that the comic book cover came from a online forum, all it really proves is that a online forum produced a misleading comic book " You must have ate a lot of paint chips as a kid. Let me ask you a question. You read somwhere where an online forum produced the comic book? Do you know what forum that was? I think i heard about this forum once or twice. Please nobody else answer I want this to come from Young Cooper. Please enlighten me then I will fill in the dots for you. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://comicanuck.blogspot.com/2009/03/pursuit-of-dan-cooper-rcaf-fbi-explores.html also I heard Larry Carr say that He got the idea from an online forum in a radio broadcast that can be listened to at http://www.stevenrinehart.com/pages/?section=2&page=9 Well to fill in some blanks your mythical online forum you refered to twice, once where you read it was found in a forum and once in verbal from Carr is, DROPZONE.COM The people you are questioning their credentials, Sluggo, Snowman, and even to some extent JO, all had a hand in that being brought to the attention of the public. You were quoting sources and didn't even know this was the source. Myself and others have suggested you go back and read this forum, and you blew it off as too much work. If you truely want ot gain knowledge about this is read the material and ask questions. I think Blevins, Jo, 377, Sluggo, and others have said the same thing. I don't try to discredit who anyone says is Cooper. I try to listen. I may point out a fact or ask questions, but I am open to all canidates. Blevins makes good points on KC, Jo makes some points on Weber, 377 on Sheridan, Cook on Gossett. Use the information correctly and your point may prove itself. Now go read and comeback with more knowledge young Cooper.
