Hey, I was -12 years old when this happened. You guys are dating yourselves.
You're right. We should have this written in textbooks right away. There should be a National Day of Rememberence to D.B. Cooper (who was not Jimmie James) and we should coincide that with the other national holidays of Big Foot Awareness Week and Anna Nichole Smith Memorial Day.
These are the important days in history and if we forget them, than we are doomed to jump out of planes after hiijacking them and never being heard from again.
There is much historical significance to this story; here is one thing that came about because of Cooper's act:
"A Cooper vane is a mechanical aerodynamic wedge that prevents the airstair or rear stairway of an aircraft from being lowered in flight. Following three hijackings in 1972, Boeing 727 aircraft were ordered by the Federal Aviation Administration to be fitted with Cooper vanes. The device was named for famed airplane hijacker D. B. Cooper, who used the rear stairway to exit a plane in flight and make his escape via parachute."

$200K might have been a fortune in '71 but now it's the cost of an average house. I wonder how much this new investigation is going to cost? If it lasts more than a few days I bet it easily costs more than $200K. Another stupid investigation that will cost the taxpayers millions (don't get me wrong I'm not for letting criminals get away with it but at some point you have to let it go.).......
There is. But maybe not in this case.i dont think there is a statute of limitations on hijacking...

Watching a new doc on HBO called ‘The Mystery of DB Cooper’.. not a very original title, but pretty good so far.
