Dear Julius Mattson, My name is [REDACTED] [REDACTED] just read an account of D.B. Coopers hijack and to find its unsolved I have a very logical solution. It goes like this: At 7:50 P.M. on Nov. 24 1971 D.B. opened the rear boarding door port way, waiting, watching for his accomplice to come in the helicopter specially chosen because the sound of the engine can be turned off. Then at approximately 8:09 D.B. saw the copter coming opened the rear ramp all the way open and now the copter flew almost all the way into the plane, picked up D.B. and flew off to a wonderful, and gloyful Thanks for your giving.

Please write and tell me what you think.
