The legend of the skydiver of old has been given a new breath of life. It seems that a pair of kids may have found DB’s Parachute. The FBI is currently investigating… And admit that it’s the correct type of chute, and is within the Landing Zone of his chute flight path. Here’s one of the Articles. |

I read that article yesterday, it was pretty interesting. I never knew that took place, cause it wasnt it my life time yet. Haha Do you think he’s still alive? |

It’s a possibility. He’d be in his late 60s or early 70s if he is. As I understand it, he had been trained in the military to do HALO (High Altitude Low Opening) jumps. So he had the knowledge and background to pull it off. |

Man I’d love to meet that guy. If someone were to pull something like that off now, heh they’d just nuke the plane. |

Coast to Coast had a episode on DB Cooper just recently, think it was one of the shows Ian Punnett did. Seems there is an investigator out there who is pretty positive he knows who DB Cooper is. The idea of jumping out of a perfectly good airplane really doesn’t appeal to me. lol |

It was an Ian topic. Besides… If you haven’t seen the aircraft that skydiver’s jump out of, I would call some of them anything but perfectly good. |

Well there is that point, must be why the pilot wears a parachute as well. Some of those people just arent right. |

Too bad. But it just goes to feed the saga and mystery that has become, “What happened to D.B. Cooper?” Thanks for the update Strike. |

Too bad he wasnt a well known magician, then his escape would be a piece of cake. Plus it would also explain why he hasnt been discovered yet. |
