  1. " ______________________________________________ Gosh..this Cooper case is a labyrinth and I aint a Cooper royalty ...I seriously have no clue what are you taking about...help me understand where can I read more about what u saying...the film etc. It's make believe, pure fantasy. Delusions of grandeur and all. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  2. No, this signature is to Instructors of this community, the Skydiving community this page is intended for. It is meant to remind them that money is secondary in their job, student safety is first. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

  4. 57, 000~ posts, and this thread still talks about none suspects, and debunked theory and conspiracy. It is good training material for any one going into the mental health area though. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  5. I disagree. Let it survive. It is pretty useless right now but it might get better someday. Meanwhile just ignore folks who annoy you. Its easy to do. If Snow were allowed to return and we got Orange, Sluggo, Farflung and others like them back in the forum it could bloom again. 377 Agreed. But the Cooper candidate pushers are using it currently just to spread dis-information. And that is a drag on the whole Cooper investigation. Robert99 This thread might only be 4 or 5 pages long, when the lies, attacks, disinformation, off topic rants, mindless drivel, and general childishness posts, are deleted. Sadly, that won't stop, as proven by the posts and PM's right after each call to lock this thread prove. It would also be too time consuming to edit this thread of all the crap. Experts in fields get attacked by "never beens" and "know nots" when their theory is scientifically and factually proven wrong. History gets used and rewritten by those who desperately try to fit themselves into this crime. Why one would want to be a part of this crime is unfathomable to me, but I do not want to be a criminal, I guess I'm different that way. This thread as it stands now, no longer serves a purpose. The original that Jo started and then this one, had a purpose, long ago left behind. Yet, even the original idea, was agenda driven, not to find the actual hijacker, but to make a suspect, how ever it need to be done. Any actual evidence (what little real evidence there is) in this thread, wouldn't be lost by locking it. Having worked along a few FBI Agents recently, if they have eliminated a suspect, and publicly said so, I would be hard pressed to see a reason to go against that. They do have more experience than any here, and far more means as well. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  6. Well, after reading the FBI web page, and the numerous pages of dribble here, and a short visit to the other pages out there about this, we still have no viable, or even new none-viable, suspect/s. Maybe one or two possibles, but they aren't discussed here, good for them and their supporters, as it would be a nightmare for them! Time for this thread to be locked, go in the garbage bin, and let those who need to, go find closer some where in there lives. Matt An actual qualified Jumper, and Instructor, in Military and Civilian parachuting. An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  7. Like the event involving a firefighter who claimed racism in a recent encounter. The PD said he was making a false claim, and to back it up, let the public view and decide as well. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  8. Not only does it "modify the behavior" of the Cops, but of the people as well. There have been a few cases of Police Brutality reversed when the Body Camera, and or Dash cam has shown the truth. I may have missed the post in this thread where LAPD has a District using the cameras as an experiment, it has reduced the reports of brutality by a significant margin. Also, the test program has shown that in reports that have gone forward, nearly 80% (iirc) have been unfounded. I have a contour and a smaller body cam that I try to use when not on the dash cam. And I always use an audio recorder to back up, the car's recorder. And I tell every one I interact with, "Remember, everything is recorded these days". I find it amazing how nice people get when they know they are being recorded (cuts both ways, yes it does), and only the truly committed to their cause keep on with what ever action they had going on.

  9. In a normal court proceeding, an act of holding back evidence tends to make the "holder backer" look guilty. It is also punishable, Why not in this case? (in the public and media eye at least) The finding was made, and they acknowledged they did so, even with out all the evidence they requested. So, not an actual truthful finding. Now a member of the staff for the State Dept, has reported that State did destroy documents (Evidence) requested by the committee (which could have changed the result from inconclusive to a conclusion, be it either way), and it hasn't been refuted yet, correct? This will be like any other "event" in this and past Administrations. It will be beat up over and over, mostly for politics, and some where the truth will eventually be known, but only by those who ignore the politics and sift through the actual facts.

  10. Maybe because there isn't any way to do it? Maybe it is just three pictures, two of a life long criminal, and one of the criminal you wish he was. There is a very high probability Duane was not the Hijacker, and that a lot of the stories he told you are just, stories. Since thus far there have been zero confirmed suspicions as to his "qualifications", just like the KC suspect. If my Patrol, or CID, LT handed me this case, I would have moved on from those two long ago, they aren't viable suspects. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  11. Nope, not really. Only one viable suspect, cause he can't be eliminated, unlike the few discussed here, already have been. But, dead horse beating is the forte here! Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  12. Right wing/left wing Fringe Left/fringe right Conservative/Liberal etc/etc All oarsmen in the same boat, lined up against, and all pulling against, each other, so the boats just goes in circles. Sad really. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  13. Q- Did any of the money make it out of the plane? A- Yes. Confirmed by the "Tina Bar" find. But, it does lead to many more questions, already asked of course. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  14. This will give a bit of an example of what the parachutes do during deployment, for the uninitiated. An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  15. BINGO! Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  16. I hope the NBA treats the flip side of the coin in the same manner. After all, they want to live by a single standard, right? Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  17. One could ask the same of you oh personal attacker ordinaire.... Or of you! oh personal attacker .. except that it is me who asked the question! What's your interest in this if I may ask. But since you attacked, what's the Grey-thing icon all about? What nondescript subliminal message are you trying to convey with that? Do you represent UFO's? Endorse UFO research? Like UFO's? Rode on a UFO? Was abducted by a UFO? Jumped from a UFO? .................................. I mean I'll be glad to have an intelligent conversation with you if that's what you want ....... and will permit ........ if it's possible. Are you from HD-436L ? It was not an attack.. it was an observation of the continuous posts you make that are creepy and stalker of Blevins.. Obsessive behavior is soooo unbecoming when you have made hundreds of such creepy posts.. I think it is a form of cyber bullying... which is quickly becoming a crime in many places. Why do you even bother coming here.. you have your personal little playgrounds.... why fill our screens here with your daily childish gibberish??? I have seen very little in the way of intelligence in most of those posts. And how do you see and evaluate the posts of RobertMBlevins and Jo Weber, if I may ask ? Anything 'creepy' and 'stalking' in their highly repetitive posts? I must confess I sometimes feel as if YOU are stalking ME! In fact, I am moved to say: "I'm glad we are having this conversation HAL. Do you enjoy your management work here at Dropzone? I find your management work here at Dropzone very creepy and downright thuggish and crude at times. Very one-sided and not intelligent at all. So, if that is your definition of "intelligence", then frankly .... well you know the rest". I'm glad we had this conversation, HAL. (Or GREY, or whatever you are). I think you and RobertMBlevins are a perfect team here at Dropzone. I think you should give a presentation on "Creeps and Stalkers on the Internet" at Mr. Blevins' symposium in August. Give some thought o inviting Sean Hannity also. Paranoid Jerry???? And right there you VIOLATE a rule of Dropzone to intimidate. So much for your integrity! Actually, your name (occupation, education, residency, etc) is public knowledge already, that happened long ago. Amazon has hit the nail on the head. IMO, "Cyber Bully" is a title you have earned fully. You had a focus, but your beam is widening to include all, very BK style. Of course, this thread has degraded to a "love fest" of around five folks, none of which, are honest and open minded to facts, science, experts opinions, expert experience, or the truth. To date, most every suspect mentioned in this thread, has been eliminated, yet, we still hear the same old tired regurgitated story, of each. IIRC, There is only one not eliminated. Those who accuse others of being plants and cover ups crew, are doing more to side track the investigation (well the public web based version at least) than any they accuse of such deeds. But, this thread isn't about solving the Cooper Hijacking, never was. IMO, this thread should go to the dumpster, and those who post who are not Skydivers, and have no other reason to be on the web page, follow the thread out.

  18. All that sounds familiar. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  19. Actually, if the allegation is proven, it is a civil matter. Not usually a jail time kind of thing, a money thing at best. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  20. But, my understanding of iv and v, is that the manufacturer has the discretion and won't approve your completing the course with out the Physical. So is it spelled out and perfectly clear? Nope. But, I think Tom answered it, as well as who ever it was who quoted an FAA rep. Personally, they (USPA, FAA, and ALL Manufacturers) need to make this clear, either have a requirement and spell it out, or don't. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  21. I can see the argument that 1-iv and 1-v does. But, yes, it is not really clear. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  22. Sir Matthew: Why am I being mentioned? I am not here. Even though my name keeps being brought up or dropped by persona, here! PLEASE, stay on reality. Gone again. G. See post 52303, and 52334 etc, proves you are here, and engaging still, as well as this post. Matt Matt dear, You do not really expect Jerry to really disengage now do you??? There are too many childish posting possibilities for that to happen. True, true. I forgot and thought they were adults for second. What is that hip new saying that I dislike? Oh yeah, "My bad". Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

  24. "Magazine well", not slot. And as others posted, nice tough guy try. Stay on topic, or at least try. Oh, and G and yourself each agreed to not engage each other, that didn't last ling did it? On topic: This thread has eliminated all suspects it has discussed. It is time to widen the search and look for a viable suspect or two. I still like the SOG connection, but don't think the fellow was directly involved in the tests mentioned for jumping. I also do not think he purposely acted as if he couldn't lower the stairs, I believe he just didn't know how. Matt Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  25. Your time line does not match the FBI's time line. Even wikipedia (where you have taken direct quotes) doesn't agree with you. I do see that Duane's profile was fixed there. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
