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.
