Bruce Smith   You say "I thought the money stuck in his coat like a clown was cool, though."

I say:   "What is wrong with the theory that DB offered three bundles of $20's to the Flight Crew and it was turned down, so he then stuffed the bundles into the paper bag he brought on the plane and then stuffed the bag with the three bundles inside his shirt but it blew out when he jumped. The bag served to keep the bundles together until buried on the beach but rotted away leaving the three bundles together until found."

Just thinking about it here in Paris France,

Bob Sailshaw

Bonjour, M'sieur Sail. Comment ca va?

Three bundolas in a bag tucked into a shirt?  Sure it's possible; it's just unconfirmed and not substantiated by any known facts.

I'm working on the crew notes for the website. I just noticed something, not sure if it's the same term but on page 4 of the notes it states this....

2310 – wants money in
negotiable currency
to be passed ?+? a
crew member

2320 – wants everything
ready before
landing

Now, it appears it might be "passed by, or to a crew member". I've noticed with knowing several Canadians that they tend to say pass, instead of borrow, or give etc. my buddy was always using this term. "pass me 5 bucks" pass me the remote"

Just a thought.....

One of my wives was Canadian, and although I don't remember a whole lot about her I don't remember the pass thingy at all.

But I do remember that she said a-boat for about, claiming it was her family's Newfie influences.

I also applied for Canadian immigration a couple of times - called Landed Immigrant status - but was turned down once and I don't remember anything about passing then either. The second application didn't get too far as that was my honey-bun's job.....hence, the Big D.

Not all Canadians speak this way. my buddy lives in Quebec, he doesn't say "eh" either, but uses the "pass" phrase. it depends on the location, just as it does here.

I would say he was an American, but not necessarily living in the United States.

Ted?  Petey?

Skydived last Sunday with 10 Meter radio gear (10 M is a ham band very close to the CB band). Got numerous contacts from aloft starting at about 10,000 ft. Used a trailing wire antenna and a AA cell powered very small radio (Yaesu FT 817). Got really good signal reports from hams as far as 60 miles away.

Not saying Cooper used radio gear.... but had he done so it would have likely worked.

See attached pic.

That's like a 10,000 foot antenna  :o

Looks like a King 90 behind you there....

Correct! King Air A 90. Our prior one was totaled last Dec. Pilot forgot to put the gear down for landing. CRUNCH.

377   Good job of testing the use of Ham gear close to the freq of CB gear for distance. I think Sheridan/DB would have used CB gear to talk with his two ground men. Possibly Earl Cossey and Duane Webber. Jo has talked about the radio gear that Duane had in his car and how he talked with everything including towers in the dropzone for Norjak. Duane also knew too much about the caper to be just a bystander and not involved. Such quotes from Duane as "maybe I was his groundman?" to Jo's question "how do you know the North end of Lake Lacama is where DB came out of the woods?".

I suspect Cossey as the other groundman based upon his rapid and shocking denial of knowing Sheridan Peterson when I asked on the phone with him and then his withdrawal from a lunch date with me. Cossey had to know Sheridan as the Boeing Skydiving Club was working out of the same Issaquah dropzone where Cossey worked as a rigger. The two would have had a lot of time together to cook up the perfect plan.

I too think Cossey must have known Sheridan but denying it doesn't prove any involvement in NORJACK. Cossey is a puzzle. He has said many inconsistent things. It could be that he just enjoyed "messing" with people.

I doubt if his murder had any connection to NORJACK but that's just speculation. The police sure don't appear to be making progress on solving the case.

Maybe Bruce can remote view the murder and tell us what happened. He's already remote viewed Cooper's 727 run. 😉

Bruce's book was featured in Parachutist magazine. Not a paid plug. Yay for Bruce. Musika F must be feeling the pressure.
