700 ft per minute would be around 12 minutes to drop. 180 feet per minute would be around 47 minutes. 700 number puts the card dropping at around 11 feet per second..

Real world observation: I once passed a candy bar wrapper serval thousand feet up over Livermore CA. I was under a canopy, which happened to be a 28 ft C9 surplus round.  I was descending a lot faster than the wrapper. It was fluttering and rotating. Since I was the first jumper out I had to assume it ascended from the ground in an updraft.

Shutter, you seem to have missed the point that the 700 feet per minute is the vertical descent rate with respect to the air mass and not the horizontal movement caused by the wind.  And as shown in the chart I discussed a few posts back (#2065), the average vertical descent rate is actually 1282 feet per minute and not the 180 feet per minute you are quoting.

What is your explanation for the 180 feet per minute quote?

I have also seen debris and bugs several thousand feet above the ground.  I have 1000+ hours flying time in gliders and have routinely climbed at over 1000 feet per minute in thermals.  And since the glider was descending at several hundred feet per minute with respect to the thermal, the thermal itself was ascending at an even greater speed.

That chart doesn't seem to make sense. it continues with altitudes in the next figures directly below showing the last altitude of 50,000.
3.0 ft/sec at 50k takes .05?

.09 at 1,000 feet?

The figures remain the same for altitudes of 1,000 thru 9,000 feet?

Are these figures something to factor in with other figures vs what the actual number or conclusion is for these altitudes?

Three feet a second would be 180 feet per minute. not 700 feet as you calculated being similar to a parachute drift. how do they equal?

The chart is for non-rotation which appears to have changed from it "tumbling"

Chart below is just an example...

The chart you have posted shows various data for each altitude segment.

For example, if you drop leaflets at 1000 feet the data pertaining to that segment would be in the "5-0 height increment." Next, for a leaflet to travel through that entire segment--meaning 5k to 0 feet--it would take 0.49 hours. However, your placard drop would be only from 1K. Therefore it would take about 1/5th of the time, in other words, 0.9 hours. Moreover, the wind speed is 5 KTS during that segment, you would have a horizontal drift of 1/5th of 2.5 NM, and the azimuth angle is 170.

But a more direct standard test of which flight path is valid would be to measure the time taken to fly from A to B. Let A be Maylay. Let B be the time of T33/305 intersection near Lake Oswego. Somebody has that data. That intersection was put together by R2 and the T33 pilot. The time between two alternate routes starting at Maylay must be different. Tests like that was one reason for running simulations?

I am not aware of anyone involved in this case ever using the placard find as a test of the "Flight Path" - nor did they use the meals brought on board 305 as a test of the flight path either!

Finding direct data was in the original mandate and FOIA request filing by Robert. That failed. What's next? Tea leaves? 

Tests have to be valid.

Thanks for adding your sailplane experience R99 and confirming debris sightings aloft.

Some pilots refer to skydivers as skytrash.

Skytrash?  I hadn't heard that before.

Tests do have to be valid and yours isn't.  If the airliner stayed on the centerline of V-23, as you claim, from the Malay Intersection to the Canby Intersection rather than flying a direct path between them, it would only travel two nautical miles further.  Since the airliner's ground speed was more than three nautical miles per minute, that would be less than 40 seconds of flying time.  And the data quality is not sufficient to draw a conclusion based on this.

How are you coming along on your search for my posts on DropZone?  I trust you will find my posts, somewhere around 2009, that point out the problems with the FBI flight path.  These problems with the FBI flight path didn't just pop up last week.

Funny! So you agree the distance is further, v23 vs straight path. But you turn around and say "the test isnt valid". You clarify: 'the data quality is not sufficient to draw a conclusion based on this.' Now you turn that into an asset.

Robert we already knew all of this - we have discussed this for years. Nothing has changed in this story, except for your tactics. Fortunately for you both fp's go through Maylay !  Anyone with a brain knows where this is going. Nowhere. And if the placard did not even come off during the hijacking flight ... then you have one more problem.

As for searches, do them yourself if you feel you have something to prove. :rofl:

I do not understand the need for you to constantly be snarky. I have never understood why anyone feels the need to be snarky here. Why attack on a personal level?

All R99 and I have done is put forward a theory. Additionally, we've backed it up. Deal with it.

As to your snarky comment: "And if the placard did not even come off during the hijacking flight ... then you have one more problem."

Why would I, or we, have a problem? Isn't this like saying, "If you don't have evidence, you don't have evidence"...? Put another way, if by some miracle the placard happened to come from some other 727 and not N467US, then yes that would no longer be considered evidence pointing to a western path. That would obviously change some things. That said, it still wouldn't explain the money find or the lack of anything found in the FBI search area or along the FBI Flight Path.

You act is if we're afraid of evidence.

Unfortunately for you, someone who apparently cannot accept that something doesn't add up regarding the FBI Flight Path, the placard is a compelling piece of evidence.

Why are you afraid of evidence?
Some men see things as they are, and ask why? I dream of things that never were, and ask why not?

Georger, you are the one who has been making false statements about me (and EU).  And you claimed to have e-mails proving your statements even though no such e-mails exist.

So I can only assume that you can draw positive or negative conclusions from data which is actually inconclusive.

Flyjack has a good point with emergency door going with the placard. how did it separate?

How did everyone miss the opening where the door was. why did it take 2 days to notice. the stairs should have been a focal point.

so move on! I have no idea what specifically he is talking about ... emails about what ..... R2 maybe? As I have stated before all of those very old emails are all gone. That was years ago!!!

As for R99's west path, either he is right or R2 is right. They cant both be right!

I am neutral in this WHOLE GOD DAMNED FLIGHT PATH THING! Ive always made that clear. I have also said numerous times that there are other doors to the money mystery, that don't depend on the flight path. Nobody but FJ wants to talk about that! 

Find somebody else to persecute!
