Hi,
Since this search began, I have been thinking of "DB Cooper".
He's the chap who hijacked a 727 and jumped from the rear door in the early 1970's. I gather that the parachutes he was given were not first class equipment.
No trace of him was ever found. I'm not enough of a romantic to believe that he landed safely and just walked out of there.
If I'm not mistaken, this happened hundreds of miles further North but in similar terrain.
I'm still hoping for the best for Mr Fossett.
Best regards, Transall.
