Sometimes "scotch and soda" but the most popular drink "C and Coke" or "C and C" which was Canada and Coke.

7 & 7 was the most popular drink when I turned 18 in NY and could drink. Had 13 of them one night. Epic. My boss showed no mercy the next day. Just smirked...

Sounds perfectly plausible, EU. If he had bailed out when he intended (outskirts of Seattle), it would have given him the entire duration of the flight to Reno to escape. Moreover, had it not been for the pressure bump, the search area could have been anywhere from Washington to Nevada.

The fact that he jumped later than intended would have put him in very unfamiliar territory and made any escape many times more difficult. Instead of walking home into the suburbs of Sea-Tac, he had to hump it out in remote, rugged, rural Washington in a business suit and 25 lbs. of money. I think that would have made it virtually impossible for him to escape detection.

If he bails near SEA and it is detected LE can draw hundreds of people to a small search area very quickly and circle him - bailing later further south LE loses all advantage, just as it happened. 

Cooper's socalled INTENTIONS are irrelevant and impossible to know - its what he did that matters.  Intentions and thoughts (and impure thoughts) can only be guessed by performance/demonstration. Testing programs and psychometry can only measure and predict based on recording people's actual performance. We learned that thru testing conducted in WWI!     

That was the flaw in PLF's whole 'thru the lens of logic'. He makes assumptions which are untrue, unprovable, unknown, unknowable! PLF makes assumptions that only agree with himself! 

Fact is:  nobody was reporting to ground control and LE  what Cooper was doing or not doing, or what it appeared he might be doing and his INTENTIONS ... after take off until about the time Tina came in to the cockpit. Cooper actually jumped shortly after this. Moreover, Cooper did not "prepare" for bailing immediately after takeoff, if by some guesswork you know his INTENTIONS. Cooper went through an orderly step-by-step procedure  ... 'and it looks as though he's getting ready to jump' ...   

Cooper did not perform as a person getting ready to perform a jump right after takeoff at SEA! Factually, he was not ready to jump immediately after takeoff; that had nothing to do with him not being given the backpack for the money or the delay due to fueling, as Flyjack contends. For one thing his plan relied on testing the stairs under stable flight conditions before bailing ... his communications with the cockpit just prior to jumping document that.     

I couldn't disagree more on a number of levels here. Reasoned assumptions and deductions along with attempting to ascertain intentions are necessary if you want to solve a case such as this.

Let me give a very basic example of this:

1) FACT: Cooper ordered and was delivered 200 grand.

2) ASSUMPTION: He wants to spend it.

3) THEREFORE: Let's look for him at various banks, casinos and other establishments.

Good luck finding DBC if you focus exclusively on what happened and ignore everything else.

Georger, the insults are very tiring coming from you. perhaps you could join up with RMB. he does the same it's just a different style. he might even offer you a paid position..

The bottom line. if you don't have anything valuable to say...then move on to the next post..it's a bunch of "noise" we don't need here...

You have had a fair share in running people off of this forum. people don't want to post due to your replies and smart ass remarks. in fact, several have joined and haven't commented due to the behavior coming from you. some looking in from the outside also remain there because of you. I've grown tired of the complaints against you.

This forum is going to start functioning as a research forum. you have to accept certain theories or idea's that come with researching anything. it doesn't mean that's exactly what happened. if we knew that, we wouldn't be here.

As for Blevins, you are correct. I often apologize for having to comment but sometimes he continues to post things that are completely wrong or skewed to fit his agenda. he has ran off a lot of people on the DZ. going over there is more counter productive and not worth the time getting caught up in an endless loop. at least his comments can be posted away from any Cooper related conversation and don't stop the discussion to deal with his rants. I don't look for any fights with anyone. I will confront problems, if you wish to call that picking a fight, personally, I don't think it does. I will also strongly disagree with certain things in regards to the case if you want to call that picking a fight. I think I show everyone the same respect on this board and will confront you when I don't agree with the way you are acting on this board. you have been warned numerous times about this and giving a mile of rope and it continues to be a problem. perhaps, I shouldn't of used Robert as a reference to you but you both run people off.

I believe you have a lot to offer with the knowledge you have. sure a lot of things are sometimes pointless and don't forward the case but they can still be discussed without having to worry about being shouted down or ridiculed. I can't please everyone. thinking out of the box with idea's can be crazy one's but worth a shot. I would like to see everyone on the same page. everyone tends to toss in a potshot here and there but nothing like what you do.
