I just re-watched "The Hijacker that Got Away", and it mentions Carr found profiles of Raleigh Cigarette smokers and Bourbon/7 Up drinkers. Were these ever released or did anyone publish them anywhere?


I believe they also show Cooper filling out the ticket....also false.

I've liked our survey on the money find at T-Bar, and we seem basically spilt between dredge and nature.

How about parachutes? Can we do a survey on what parachute we think DB Cooper used?

1. NB-8, as per the "Common Understanding"?
2. NB-6, stuffed with a 28-foot canopy as per FBI docs provided by Ckret
3. Pioneer, with 26-foot Steinthaul, as per Norman
4. Pioneer, with unknown canopy, as per interpretation of Cossey's statements
5. Paracommmander, as per Sluggo?
6. Paradise, with unknown canopy, as per Earl Cossey's initial statements to me?


Bonus Question: Does anyone think DB Cooper used the reserve chute not found aboard 305 in Reno?

I'm voting #3, with a No on the "front" chute.

Youse guys are jumping ahead with your answers.  What chute didn't open, then.

Shut- after moderating this forum for a couple years, you think you have enough material for three shows a night? Maybe you're right!

Extra bonus:  hasn't this all been discussed before? Including discussed based on your own research? Did you forget what you said/did before? Wasn't this all discussed before based on your articles/research ? I fail to see what all of your re-iterations or previous iterations of the iterations before that ... accomplishes? Unless of course it's total confusion you are seeking/making? This has come to have all the trappings of a historical hysteria?  :D  The purpose of this is?  (revisions to your book? revisions to revisions of your book? a new book? ? )

Will this ever end?  ;) ;) ;)

At this point in time I don't think it would matter if he had a golden chute. we don't know one way or the other if he made it.

No proof on the ground....so, he made it?

No proof of any kind to surface, as in the note, clothing, a chute, money, other than Tina Bar....so, he died?

That has been consistent, has it not, through all permutations, iterations, interviews, testimonials by whoever, discoveries, ... and all crop circle formations  ?  Yes?  No  ?

I'm biased though since I own an NB 8 with a C9. It might be worth slightly more if it's a DBC model rig. It's the rig I brought to the Portland symposium. The one that a non jumper had a very difficult time donning. Finding the packing card quickly proved impossible.

Good rig. Great canopy. The C9 is super tough.

Bruce:  You say:   "Bonus Question: Does anyone think DB Cooper used the reserve chute not found aboard 305 in Reno?"

I think he took the "Front Chute" to climb down from the trees in case he landed in the trees. Old Smoke Jumper trick and Sheriddan must have seen that Front Chute with the big "X" on it many time at Issaquah when he took the Boeing Skydiving Club there for training. He knew
what he was doing and did not need the "X" chute for anything but climbing out of the trees.
