Not home at the moment but I believe it was several days after the hijacking.. will look once I return ..I think it's the file with 144 pages....

Update: document states it was at 3:30 pm on 11/26/71

page 38...116-cv-01790 – 164A-SE-81 Section 1, Part 2A (11-26-71 to 11-28-71; 114 pages)

Page 39 states that no such beacons known to have to been in operation, accidentally or for test purposes..

I'll have to find his email about it, but he said they had several calling in the time frame of when he jumped, or believed to have jumped probably hearing the oscillation transmission.

I don't know, but it appears the Air Force supplied a flight path, and possibly NWO determined the jump time?

For the search trackers...

11/27/71...air ground search conducted woodland vicinity, Woodland, Washington, this date (27th) air search completed with negative results. ground search continuing 11/28/71

Portland division instituting air search, weather permitting am tomorrow on flight path from Portland to Eugene, Oregon.

search called off in Portland to Eugene due to weather...11/29/71

even though they were searching area's, they still didn't seem to have all the info needed...see attachment 11/28/71

Note the date of yours attached - 11/24 ... 71. No time given but it almost had to have been after 8:11 pm pst on the 24th. It may have even been before 305 landed at Reno and crew was debriefed! It may have been based on crew communications with people before 305 even landed at Reno. A search area was already in the works ... people wanted to know in order to act.

Things are happening here faster than I can work. Still processing old (new to me) files, plus having to deal with personal attack from guess who, and provider problems - when it rains it pours! The chronological order of events and who did what when etc is fairly clear but no way I can rush going through everything. A timeline will bne issued when I can get to it! 

The files I am working with have nothing to do with FBI/Colbert files. 

Has anyone here heard from a guy claiming his father was DB and used the money to buy his way out of the Mafia?  He emailed me with an interesting story and when I responded asking for more info he went dark.

Curious if anyone else heard from him.

I bet it was a prank, someone using your research to create a good story for their own giggles.

I remember Bruce telling me he gets a new Cooper suspect every week... Someone contacts me with a new suspect about once a month.

Wading through the FBI files... The money bag delivered by the bank was reported to be approximately 1 foot x 1 foot x 9 inches in dimension as estimated by the person at the Seattle airport that examined the money upon arrival. That's quite a bit smaller than I have always imagined the bag being. I had always pictured a rather large and bulky bag but 12 inches tall and 12 inches wide by 9 inches deep is really not that big at all.

(This has nothing to do with what's being currently discussed on this board; just a random observation out of left field)

That is 0.75 cubic feet and the weight was about 22 pounds.  If I remember correctly, Tom Kaye measured about 100 feet of shroud lines had been cut from the chest chute that was left on the airliner.  And those shroud lines were rated at about 550 pounds of strength.

So Cooper could have easily tied the money bag to himself and/or the parachute harness and it would have stayed with him all the way down regardless of what happened to Cooper himself.
