He parachuted out of a plane into a dark and stormy night with US$200,000 in cash strapped to his body. Despite an exhaustive search, D.B. Cooper was never found.
Thanks Remo. Firstly, I can understand the DB Cooper party each year. He “stuck it to the man” and nobody was physically hurt. Compare this with many Australians love of Ned Kelly who definitely caused harm. Secondly, I’m confused by the Cooper Plane to stop the rear stairs deploying. I believe flying at low altitude as DBC demanded means that the side doors could be opened (no pressure differential as there is with high altitude flight) so taking the rear stairs off the table does not prevent similar highjackings. However, it does allow the authorities to be seen to be doing something :-).
