What does the scan show?
A person reads every report. Corrections are made by hand, to the data — titles, dates, names, which pages belong together — never to the scans, and they can take a while to appear.

Re: "D.B. Cooper"
Gentlemen:
If this man was the expert he is alleged to be in "parachuting" he must have been able to guided his 'chute to a predetermined spot, such as landing on a rocky island in the Columbia River between Hood River and Longview - Weighting the parachutes down with good sized rocks, and possibly even secreting the cash in water proof containers to return in 4 to 6 months to pick them up. In a prevailing SW wind controlling the 'chute would not be difficult, according to jumps witnessed at air shows. This may be a long shot - but it might bear checking out.
Respectfully,
