Whew. Lots of confusion here.

Here is what I know, or understand to be true:

1. Four fuel trucks were eventually summoned to Flight 305. The first was the "vapor-lock" truck. The second came in when Rataczak "laid down the law" to the FBI, but it developed legitimate problems. The third came in shortly thereafter but had too little fuel onboard to finish the job. Hence the fourth truck was summoned. I got this originally from GG and Bill Rataczak. Now, I think there are 302s confirming this scenario.

2. Yes, I don't believe that Alice and Flo left before the passengers. It is my understanding that they left 305 shortly after the passengers deplaned.

3. It is my further understanding that the passengers left after the money came onboard.

4. After the passengers and Alice and Flo left, Tina made three trips to get the four parachutes. This scenario comes from the crew debriefs.

5. As for when the meals and maps came onboard, I do not know, which is why I was asking. You're the first person I know, Robert, to say that Tina fetched them, as per Alice's commentary, which suggests that Alice was still onboard 305 when the meals and maps came on.

6. The story of Alice and Flo hitching a ride aboard a fuel truck comes from the statements made here on the Forum, attributed to one of the driver's claim made on Seattle TV, if I recall. Maybe Shutter can clarify this a bit. I'll dig in my notes when the sun comes up. They're outside in weather-proof totes. Not sure if the BBC docu filmed them much - they seemed to have filmed EVERYTHING else in my rustic abode...

A colleague who watched the BBC production asked me if I knew that “eccentric” guy living off grid who “knows all about the case.”

“That’s my friend Bruce” I replied.

He then asked me if Bruce knew more about the case than I did.

“Yeah, he does”, I said, losing some stature in my admission.

I was then tempted to take a cheap shot at Bruce’s remote viewing, but I didn’t.

Bruce, let me say again that there is no evidence that anyone other than Tina brought anything onboard the airliner while it was on the ground at SEATAC.

FlyJack has posted on DropZone page 175 (I think it is) of the ground communication transcripts at SEATAC and it plainly states that Flo and Alice were in the "car" which would be the one Al Lee and the Seattle detective used to carry the parachutes, money, maps and meals out to the aircraft.  So you can forget about them riding in a fuel truck.

But - it's SO HARD to forget the image of Alice and Flo riding in a fuel truck... smile.

Again, it's another report that is at odds with other reports.

Who knew that truth could be so slippery.

So, what I'm gathering from your comments, Robert, is the following scenario:

1. The money comes onboard 305 - the who, how, and where we'll leave for another day to discuss.

2. Passengers leave 305. One tries to get back on and Rataczak radios Al Lee to secure the steps.

3. The passengers huddle at the foot of the stairs waiting for the bus, and an FBI appears from somewhere - maybe "John" from Larry Finegold's commentary, or maybe John Detlor, and he tells the passengers that they have been hijacked.

4. The bus comes for the passengers. The FBI agent standing with the passengers gets on the bus with them, or there are other FBI agents arriving and a couple get on the bus. At least one has a roll-call list - that is currently lost or unavailable to the public. But that agent and that list definitively know that Cooper, D. is the skyjacker.

5. Owen McKenna, the Homicide Decretive from the Seattle PD is no longer around, apparently, or has no further role, or somehow just doesn't do anything important enough to get into anybody's report.

6. Al Lee, who was riding with McKenna, is in a car, apparently, with the four chutes.

7. Alice and Flo join Lee in the car, waiting for a ride to the terminal. For some reason they do not assist Tina in transporting the four chutes onto the plane.

8. Tina makes three trips to the car to ferry the chutes to Cooper.

9. Al Lee says Tina looks emotionally shaken and slow to respond verbally to his inquiries. Alice and Flo apparently make no overtures to Tina, nor attempt to assist her.

10. When all the chutes are aboard 305, Al Lee is free to leave. He finally gives Alice and Flo a ride to the terminal. Presumably Owen McKenna is also in the car and rides to the terminal with them.

11. The FAA agent that is mentioned in the transcripts is apparently left to fend for himself.

12. The fuel truck driver, #1, leaves after his "vapor lock" caper fails. He drives off alone with his thoughts and fantasies, later realized in TV interviews and a certain newspaper reporter's cache of information.

Is this about it, Robert?
