Just found that there is a Cooper St. about 300m/328yds as the crow flies and 0.3 mile by road from Hahneman's home (1960-72) in Easton Pa.
He lived on James St and used the name George Ames for the EAL hijacking. (some Central American Spanish dialects do not pronounce the "J")
You know I appreciate your work on Hahnehman, FLYJACK, so don't take this the wrong way here, but with the above, you are now reaching... the above is seeing a face in the clouds.
No, it isn't reaching.
It is a fact (Cooper St nearby) that alone proves nothing but in the context of all other Hahneman info may be significant.
People usually pull an alias from some personal reference, not completely random. Hahneman used the name Ames in an actual hijacking, he lived on James St. He spoke Honduran Spanish, the "J" is silent in many parts of Central American - Spanish. James = Ames.. Cooper St was a few blocks from his house. Pointing out that possible relationship is NOT reaching. Claiming Hahneman actually used Cooper St for a fact would be.
He was fluent in English with no accent, so saying he used Ames for James doesn't register with me. And I am a frequent traveler to Central America, notably Nicaragua, and they do not silent the J on american names, such as "Jimmy". Yes, he was Central American, but he was not some illiterate simpleton who couldn't speak... Everything you posted on Hahneman being the top suspect is true, and I emphasize the latin angle which is a trait that seems so under-considered...... but I think the names here aren't valid. And the name Cooper, is one of the most popular surnames in the US... so it seems to be more of a coincidence (but interesting nonetheless). BTW, if the FBI dropped him as a suspect and yet he was Cooper, the CIA subgroup simply would have created a false alibi and the FBI would have been forced to accept it.
That is your opinion/conclusion..
I tried to state those facts without an opinion/conclusion..
I never said Hahneman was a simpleton, he was never planning to come back to the US and he used Ames, which happens to be a derivative of James, the street he lived on and many Central American Spanish dialects do not pronounce the "J". I never said ALL.
It may well be a coincidence, or not. A single coincidence is irrelevant but as they increase in number so does their relevance.
I do believe that there is some sort of cover up at some level,
that may or may not be related to Cooper. It may just be Hahneman's CIA activities.

The Spanish Language in Honduras
Honduran Spanish holds many similarities with Spanish spoken in both El Salvador and Nicaragua. Spanish from Honduras has some influence from local languages as well as some Afro-Antillean languages and is characterized by a high use of slang and local argot. ‘J’ and ‘s’ are aspirated, they can be pronounced as softly as the ‘h’ in English or might not be pronounced at all."
