1. Before the passengers were released off the aircraft the following took place as scheduled.

a. Cooper now changes back into his origional clothing of Mr. X.

1. A crewmember, most likely the 2nd officer puts on the clothing that Cooper originally had on, to complete the second part of Cooper.

2. 35 passengers, plus Mr. or Mrs. X and 2 stewardesses now de- part the aircraft, all of these people probably state that they saw Cooper on board the aircraft. (Actually they must have been convinced that the 2nd officer was Cooper at this point.)

3. Actually you have 2 people playing themselves, and Cooper. Mr. X plays himself, then Cooper until the plane lifts off, upon which he resumes his real idenity, creating the illusion that there are 5 people on the aircraft upon take off, when in reality only 4 are indeed aboard.

3. Money and chutes are now put upon the aircraft, and the flight now lifts off for Reno Nevada.

A. 8 fighter jets now trail the aircraft all the way to Reno.

1. The aircraft flys at slow speed, and low with the door in the tail open to create the illusion that Cooper would indeed jumpout.

B. On the aircraft 4 crewmembers, not 5 - because there was no Cooper- complete the following:

1. All the evidence aboard the aircraft must be destroyed.

a. The dummy chutes, $200,000, and any other evidence is now all burned. YES I SAID THAT THEY DID INDEED BURN EVERY LAST 20 DOLLAR BILL OF THE $200,000. -THE ILLUSION IS NOW COMPLETE- NO COOPER, NO MONEY, NOCHUTES, NO EVIDENCE ARRIVES IN RENO NEVADA. -

4. Upon touchdown in Reno the fighter pilots now state that Cooper did not jump, and that nothing left that aircraft.
