Gossett is reported to have been fluent in French. That's all I know.

Dont you  think it needs more research?  And I am just wondering, every show I watch has our old boy in seat 18C.  Why is that disputed?  Not that it makes any difference. And I must agree, who drinks a bourbon and soda?  At least before this case?

Le "Old Boy" :::::::::::::

Actual Old Boy Testimony:::::::::::::    FS:  She said that the hijacker was the first person she served. She said he was sitting in Row #18, the last row of seats on the plane. She said the hijacker sat in the middle seat of three seats on the right-hand side of the plane, in the last row of seats on the plane. 

TM:  Shortly after takeoff from Portland en route to Seattle, in the afternoon hours of November 24, 1971, a male passenger on the flight who was seated in 18-E …
When she received the bag containing the money on the ground) She took the bag containing the money back to seat 18-E where the hijacker was seated.

Mucklow states that at takeoff from Seattle the hijacker was in seat 18-D or 18-E, occupying both seats at various times, and she was seated across the aisle in 18-C. Mucklow states that at takeoff the hijacker was using several seats and was occupied with opening one of the parachutes and attempting to pack the money in the parachute container and…

As per earlier post concerning bourbon and soda.... Did he actually ask specifically for a bourbon and soda? My dad used to enjoy a drink called a "seven and seven". It was whiskey and seven up (seven up is a soda pop). I  believe he liked his made with Canadian Mist whiskey although it could be made with any kind of whiskey. It  was a fairly popular drink if I  remember correctly. Not sure if this is the same as bourbon and soda?   If he actually asked for a "bourbon and soda" might that indicate a "higher end drinker" ?

You're right Shutter. I forgot about Seagram 7. Dad also drank plenty of that. I  remember sneaking drinks of that when dad wasn't looking. He used to also drink Blatz(sp.?) beer. (Yuk) Dad drank Blatz cause it was cheap. Was Cooper's drink made with soda water or soda pop?

I think my buddy's dad drank Black Label. That stuff was pretty hard-core if I  remember right. Back in my drinking days I drank a lot of Stroh's beer. It used to be brewed in Detroit I think. I remember them saying it was the Detroit River water that gave it it's taste. Later on I think the brewery moved to Colorado. A lot of people used to say it would give ya the scoots.(shits) It never bothered me but I didn't have to worry about friends stealing my beer. Definitely brings back memories!

Looks like Flyjack has been following our communications over on dz. He says the Dan Cooper comics were published in 16 different languages. How many years were they published? He also makes the statement that bourbon was very popular in the 1970's. He states it wasn't rare or exclusive. I wasn't insinuating that it was rare or exclusive. Rather I was thinking the language was somewhat odd. I used to accompany my dad to the American Legion Post (local drinking establishment) quite frequently when I was young.I don't ever remember anyone asking the bartender for a "bourbon and soda". Most would ask for a seven and seven or Jack and coke or Crown and coke (or Pepsi). Just wondering if asking for a "bourbon and soda" might be indicative of a regional dialect?      I still wish Fly would rejoin us on this forum.

It's hard to say reading the term. Bourbon and 7up is never used here or north. bourbon and soda isn't either. soda is to the south, pop to the north and west can be soda pop. everyone knew seven and seven. Georger, Bruce, Eric, R99 etc. do you guys use the term bourbon and soda/7up ?

I gave up booze this past summer due to acid-reflux. Since I rarely mixed my hard stuff, I never "said" anything. Besides, I'm cool, so I only referred to the labels, such as: "I'm drinking Maker's Mark," or "Evan Walker." If I've already had a couple of them, though, I might say "Anejo," when I switch to Tequila.

Note: Judging from what I hear on my Country stations, the millennials of our country are one-upping me by simply saying, "Jack," or "Crown."
