« Last post by Chaucer on January 06, 2024, 12:58:06 PM »Hi Chaucer.I don’t disagree. The problem is that those events lack timestamps so placing them with the context of a chronology becomes vastly more subjective.
well there were many other events happening during the time period, just not associated with the plane.
to really flesh out a chronology, it'd be nice to have time periods for parachute acquistion and delivery and money acquisition and delivery

The credit for this should go to W. Wayne Walker aka "Sluggo", an old school poster on the old Dropzone forum. He created the first comprehensive timeline over ten years ago. However, he did not have access to information that has become available to us in the years since. I merely updated his timeline with this new information and made it a bit more user friendly. Special thanks goes to olemisscub who assisted with fact-checking and proofreading.
My hope is that this chronology becomes as indispensible to us as Sluggo's was to the previous generation of researchers.
All suggestions and criticisms are welcome. Here it is:

W. Wayne Walker aka Sluggo aka Sluggo Monster passed away on Dec. 27th, 2022. He was 74.
He envisioned his website as the library of the Cooper case and himself as the librarian. The contents of that website are still being used and referenced today and will likely be used for years to come. His overall contributions to the case cannot be overstated. His departure from the Vortex was, in my opinion, a tremendous loss.
RIP Sluggo.
Im very sorry to hear this. So how have you been? I have not been here in some time. Bruce now retired and I knew him only. So fast question, of course you do not have to answer. Watching this guy Chris Todd. I guess he believes Arthur Lee Allen is the Zodiac? Do you think he has something in this guy? Of course I know you are deep into that case and know all the names. I am an amateur on it and to be honest, the case I have the most interest in is JFK still. I subscribe to America's Untold Stories with Mark Groubert. A very smart guy along with his guy Erik Hundley I do not believe everything he believes to be true. So back to Zodiac, he is pretty well sold on Arthur Lee Allen.

A “trash hauler” C 130 out of McChord did a visual intercept, much to the chagrin of the fighter jocks.As I understand it, the C-130 joined up with the airliner in Oregon sometime before it was handed off to the Oakland Center in northern California. The C-130 did have visual contact and stayed with the airliner all the way to Reno.

The fighter aircraft did not have visual contact due to the bad weather in the Portland area. However, the F-106s did have radar contact with the airliner and that counts as a contact.
