LOOKING FOR D.B.
It's November 24th friends. D.B. Cooper Day!
For those too young to remember, D.B. Cooper
was the man who hijacked an airliner back in
1971. He forced the pilot to land and exchanged
the passengers for $200,000 and some parachutes.
He then forced the flight crew to take off again
and somewhere over Washington State he bailed
out with the loot! It's the only unsolved hijacking
in U.S. history and still quite a mystery. A small
package of the ransom money was discovered
near a river. An FBI agent assigned to the case
disappeared, And over 900 people have confessed
to the crime. None were considered creditable!
Every year on the Saturday closest to the hijacking
date an observance (read that D.B. Cooper celebration)
is held in Washington. I suppose there's still a reward
for his capture so keep your eyes open! Hope you're
well and that all your NEWS is good!
