You have to be careful looking at weather from most of these sites. they are ground winds only. winds aloft can and are greater the higher you go and they can also change direction from ground winds..same for temps, they will differ as well..

Yeah, that's why I'd like to take a look at Tom's weather data if it exists. Tom himself seems to suggest that the wind pattern was more southerly than is commonly believed.

On our ham radio jumps (You are not allowed to view links.

We are exposed to winds aloft for much longer than free falling jumpers so we have to pay close attention to them in calculating our exit point. I’ve made radio jumps from as high as 18,000 ft. Winds up high can be screaming, as high as 50 knots or even more, with winds on the ground slow enough for safe landings (under 18 mph). I once made a jump from 18000 ft over Monterey CA where the winds at jump altitude were 67 knots. Winds on the ground were about 10 knots. I don’t really know what Cooper’s jump weather was like but I do know that there can be huge differences between winds aloft and winds on the ground.

Who gives a damn what he says?
Now if he wants to man-up and debate LIVE on Darren's podcast, I'm down with that. But of course, that's not as easy as gas lighting everything from a computer screen in Canada.

Not sure if you are aware but I went over to that site, my first time, and I see about 3 hours agao, in the wee hours, they have mentioned you on the Cooper thread about this June party they are having. Something about you selling tickets? Just letting you know in case you were not aware. I am letting you know because they have updated or edited the post.
So they mention $1400 was found? This is seperate from the Tena Bar money find? Never heard that before.

It costs money to do anything. you can't expect everything to be free. Robert Blevins whined about the museum charging $10 for parking. Robert goes negative at the first thing he doesn't like. he couldn't even afford to do anything without Greg.
If you wish to speak about money and Roberts free event, this would only apply if you have a tent and supplies needed for several days in the woods. you can bet it will exceed any cost of any other Cooper event if you have to buy everything needed to go to the free event. is this bad, of course not but it's no different than whining about an entrance fee.
Eric holds an event every year and you won't see all the 3rd grade schoolboy tactics Robert spews post after post. it's all hateful comments and redundant copy/paste drama. it's done in a professional manor.
The $1400 found was on Christensen's property and wasn't part of the ransom money and wasn't all in 20 dollar bills. I know plenty of people including myself who have buried money.
