DB Cooper / Re: Flight Path And Related Issues
« Last post by Robert99 on Today at 01:40:17 AM »Someone, probably FJ, has posted on DropZone that Cooper jumped near Lake Oswego which is apparently a small protuberance in the Williamette River on the south side of Portland. Lake Oswego is also the name of the subdivision adjacent to this lake with the subdivision known as West Linn being about five miles further south.
In describing his helicopter ride, Himmelsbach states in his book (p. 42) that they took off from PIA and flew to the southwest side of Portland. He said that he recognized the West Linn subdivision and that he lived there.
At 8:18 PM, the airliner reported that it was 23 DME miles south of what is now named the Battleground VORTAC. This puts it directly over the West Linn area. And that is roughly 20 miles from Tina Bar. Cooper had long departed the aircraft by the time the aircraft was over West Linn. The claim of jumping near Lake Oswego can be ignored.
No no no. I have followed FJ daily for years. FJ has never posted that Cooper jumped near Lake Oswego.
In fact FJ posted tonight at DZ that your claim is untrue.
Let's leave it at that. Your claim is false. Go see FJ's post at DZ tonight ....
Georger, you need to head back over to DZ to see what FJ has just posted about some of your claims.
