[Stingray Don]

[ElPaso Pilot]

Must be good money in creating the latest "I found DP Cooper" story every few years.

Kinda like the Emilia Earhart loonies.

[Shepherd]

I am D.B. Cooper.

I am D.B. Cooper.

Were you POed when they found your money on the banks of the Columbia?

 

[Shepherd]

You have no idea.
And I'm not making a penny in royalties from any of the movies, TV shows or articles and books written about me.
I make all my money doing "Go Fund Me" pages for Amelia Earhart searches.

 

[RyanB]

I am D.B. Cooper.

I always had a suspicion...

 

[Zeldman]

I am D.B. Coopers and Emelia Earhart's love child....

 

[frfly172]

The legend and the myth lives on.

Dad?!

 

[Sundancer]

Gravity. Lot's and lot's of gravitons . . .the 32ft/sec/sec kind; snatched the hatch to Hell out from under him, and bundled him off to oblivion. Didn't bounce once.

 

[Pilawt]

Ol' D.B. vacated the aircraft along V23, about 25 miles north of Vancouver WA. A block or two up the street from my old law firm in Vancouver is a nifty little brewpub with a Cooper theme, called "Victor 23". Among their offerings are Skyjacker IPA, Flight 305 Amber, Jet Fuel Imperial IPA, and Schaffner Pilsner (23-year-old Florence Schaffner was the FA to whom DBC handed the hijack note). Their logo is a hop suspended from a parachute. Their tagline: "Where craft beer and grand larceny meet."

Gary Larson is a WSU Cougar. Other side of the state, but close enough.

Talk about someone with talent.

I recognize the haircut

I solved it, its Max! I think he may have survived considering the amount of knowledge, it seems like a lot of planning went into the jump. Money in the river, some could have fallen out during the jump. When I lived in that area I had plotted the whole thing out and was working on the math for wind drift with open or not open chute to determine a place to start looking for traces.

Gary Larson is a WSU Cougar. Other side of the state, but close enough.

Would that actually be considered the far side of the state?

 

[FlySince9]

I thought they confirmed that John List was DB Cooper...

 

[Ghery]

Would that actually be considered the far side of the state?

To west siders, perhaps.

 

[Hank S]

To west siders, perhaps.

and it's a swing and a miss . . .

Maybe if he'd written, "Would that actually be considered the Far Side of the state?"???

I'd have to check. I have the complete collection of his cartoons.

 

[Palmpilot]

Is such a collection available for purchase?

 

[Ghery]

Should be. Mine is a 3 volume set I got for Christmas a year or two ago.

Yup. Here it is:

There you go. Enjoy!

[flyingron]

Splat.

Don Nyrop gave him a streamer.

 

[pmanton]

Now that the statute of limitations has run out I can say that I retired to Arizona.

 

[ColoPilot]

It should be easy to figure out who DB Cooper was: for someone who suddenly had $200K in cash in 1971, it's obvious the first thing they would do is buy a Bonanza, so we just need to review the list of Bonanza purchasers in 1972.

 

[kgruber]

He may have jumped...............but he didn't keep the money.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...ia-River-entered-water-months-skyjacking.html

 

[aftCG]

Nonsense. He lost some of the money, but he also never spent any of the rest.
For many years it was claimed he couldn't have survived the jump. Yet it's now possible to pay money to experience the exact jump from a 727.

Did he survive? Probably. No one ever found the remains of a failed jump.
Did it go according to plan? Unlikely.

 

[JimNtexas]

Dan Gryder is going to tell what really happened on anniversary of the crime.

 

[GeorgeC]

I saw him at a party with JFK Jr. recently.

 

[Initial Fix]

Was Elvis at that party too?

 

[flyingron]

Has anybody here seen my old friend Martin?

 

[MooneyDriver78]

I have a theory Jim Morrison became Chevy Chase:

 

[GaryM]

I thought he changed his first name to Stan, and has been hiding in plain sight right here on this board.
