Absolutely amazing Shutter. Just imagine when a next version has a 3D VR Goggle interface.

Been reading more Don Burnworth material. He was a total 727 expert, being a type rated captain and an inventor of a patented improved 727 power buss management system. He opined that Cooper could stayed aboard and hid behind some velcroed side panels in the stairway area.

Bunch of 727s have come up for sale in Bogota Colombia.  They are getting less attractive even as freighters due to the need for 3 cockpit crew and having 3 engines to feed and care for.

I did the update late last nite. it is rather amazing. the texture's have improved. they added some features, and now, almost 99% of the cockpit is functional. I was worried my paint job would be an issue, but she took to it with no hitches.

You now have to perform maintenance on the aircraft. air frame structure, and engines. they now keep track of how many hours are on the engines. maintenance on the flaps as well...

The proof of purchase is locked on the computer that went down last year, but they were nice enough to allow me the discount from $60 to $25. I now have the 200 series as well. normally, you don't have to pay for upgrades, but this had a lot of hours put into it, so it's worth the money they were asking for the upgrade. the detail of the cockpit has changed, the lighting has improved, with additional lights added.

Simply, AMAZING.... O0

You Know, I think if I open a window in here. this damn thing just might fly  :)) :)) :)) :)) :))

Burnworth is deceased. Bruce did some great journalistic investigating before Don's death including an interview. Don was one hell of a pilot and to my eye was a great match to the FBI drawing. He had a grudge, but it was against his ex and UAL not NW. What caught my attention was his incredibly detailed knowledge of 727 systems. He came up with an invention to fix what he saw as a very dangerous flaw in Boeing's design for 727 power buss management. It received a US patent. There were rumors that he was a parachutist but as far as I could tell from my own research he was not.

Check this out, booking photo depicts Don Burnworth:

db productions has Cooper parachuting into a snow storm over Mt. Ranier.  I think the whole Cooper matter gets more silly with ever re-telling.

Cooper supposedly said his grudge had nothing to do with NWO. He said that explicitly.

DB (Don Burnworth) died of cancer, in 2012, if I recall correctly. In Arizona.

Rumor Control

Just got an email asking if the DB Cooper case is being "reopened." Apparently that announcement was made on Seattle cable TV channel 276 last night. I've emailed Ayn Dietrich-Williams for confirmation, despite the fact that  the last time I communicated with her she told me specifically that the FBI would NOT comment on ANY Cooper questions whatsoever.

ADW says no truth to the rumor. "No changes" in the status of Norjak.

Anybody figure out how to watch the show if one doesn't have cable TV?

HC and LMNO have been unresponsive to my requests for information/guidance on how to see the show w/o cable.
