The EU narrative requires that Cooper landed on or near Tina Bar - that the R99 flight path scenario is true.
The problem is: there is nothing nor has anything ever surfaced to support R99's flight path scenario. And those who were tracking the plane say R99's scenario 'absolutely did not happen'.
Meanwhile we can get a Cooper landing "in" the Columbia basin by a mere change in the time of his jump. We have known this since 2008 with several flight path dropzone maps being drawn which reflect actual FBI wind data supplied in 2008. Sluggo developed one revised drop map, TK did another clear back in 2008 ... so maybe its time to revisit those earlier discussions ... because they all supply the means by which Cooper money could show up on the shoreline of the Columbia including at Tina Bar!
The Key to this problem is: did the pilots do anything to determine their position once oscillations began - and the answer to that is a resounding "NO". We know, for example, that Rataczak conveyed this information to Tosaw in 1980 after the discovery of Cooper money on Tina Bar; and this information became the basis for Tosaw's operation, diving and raking operations looking for Cooper artifacts south of Tina Bar! Rataczak's confidential information was vital to the Tosaw operation. Years later Rataczak's information morphs into a new form: 'the bump occurred between 5 to 10 minutes after our last contact with Cooper at 8:05' - a phrase we are all familiar with.
But, the flight comms Transcript records that 305 reported oscillations fairly quickly to the ground, once they began. Moreover, an interesting discussion ensued between 305 and the ground about that and the 'flight configuration 305 was flying and fuel consumption' ... culminating in the "BUMP" followed by many urgent communicatioins! We pondered all of this on a private website in 2008; Sluggo was part of that discussion.
Maybe its time to revisit some of this now that EU has brought up the issue of the flight path, in support of his theory? Maybe we can finally close the book on this part of the Cooper story?
