Re: Skyjackers D.B.Cooper and A.T. Johnson
They were Jack Linkletter and Robert Linkletter who didn't parachute down from a low flying plane but did it as it is done in Air Shows. The gaz mask worn by Robert did game me the true clue, also the shoes worn by Jack who is a pilot. A man comes down from a low flying plane wearing a gaz mask, a back pack which is a jet engine that can be controlled for a very soft landing, standing up as I saw in an Air show a few years ago.
An accomplice could have locked those items in a washroom to be used by the skyjacker with maybe a gun, a gre- nade etc. Another accomplice pick-up the skyjacker on the grounds. The man with the plane around the McClellan landing strip, the man with the helicopter near Provo Utah. Helicopter do lands at airports where the skyjacker could have boarded a plane to maybe N.Y. and later on return to L.A. The loot and otheritems being left with the helper, so if anyone were to be caught, it wouldn't be our smart birds who did the actual skyjacking.
Why would the Linkletters need money that cannot be traced to them? To bomb here,there, to overthrow our Govt., to coverup all of their murders, to coverup their connections with the underworld for more than 25 years etc.......
Since last Nov. 1971, I have had the definite im- pression that Jack Linkletter was trying to get arrested, was reddy to tell the truth but still finds himself trapped between two murderers, his father and his brother.
