and he worked for Northwest Airlines. On his deathbed he started to
tell Lyle that there was something he had done that Lyle should
know, but then he died.

Kenny Christansen died in 1994 of cancer. The house is now a sign
shop.

Last I heard, some woman in Florida said she discovered the man she
was married to for 20 years was Cooper. Don't know what ever
happened to this story.
My guess is that he went into one of those lakes that dot the
countryside where he baled, got tangled up in the shrouds and
drowned. I think someone found some of the money in a stream bed
some time ago. This one will hang in there with some of the other
unsolved mysteries of our time.
Perhaps someday it will get solved :-)

There was a story about DB Cooper circulating at Binion's Golden
Horseshoe Casino in Las Vegas years ago. This was told to me by a
blackjack dealer in the casion, so it must be the absolute truth.

About 7 years after DB Cooper bailed from the 727, a man showed up
with two large briefcases at Binion's Golden Horseshoe Casino. At that
time, they had a policy were a customer could set his own table maximum
provided that his very first bet was for that maximum. The man took
$727,000 in cash out of one briefcase and placed it on the "Don't Pass" at
the craps table. The roll was 6-8-10-7. The man filled both briefcases
with $1,454,000 in cash, and the casino treated him to a limo to the
airport. He was never seen again in Las Vegas. They swear that the bills
were dirty and looked like they had previously been buried and that the man
was DB Cooper.

Man, you haven't pee'd till you've pee'd into one of those funny looking
red plastic pee containers at 30 thousand in an unpressurized cockpit on
the way to a show site.

As if freezing it off wasn't bad enough, getting it caught in that damn
lower zipper in the flight suit REALLY made the day complete :-))

Ah yes, if those screaming "fans" at the show site only knew how loud
one of their "hero's" could yell "OUCH" into a damn O2 mask when his
"zingie" caught in that damn lower zipper, the whole "fighter pilot hero
thing" would have gone right out the damn window!!

You know Bertie..I REALLY miss the "good ole' days!! :-))

The problem with that story would be that the FBI had all the serials
marked and recorded if I remember right. They would have had a positive
ID on Cooper with the bills alone.

I had to pee bad into one of this ice cream cones attached to a venturi
on the belly of a twin Beech once. Problem was, it was iced up and the
damned thing was blowing instead of sucking. Of course, once you
start....

You HAVE to be kidding. It had to have been frozen SOLID to only get that

I would think that would at least merit a "SON OF A B*TCH" or something
along that line, or worse. ;-)
