No that happened in the USA from a B727 during the sixties.

The gentleman exited the B727 via the rear air stairs and parchuted to freedom. Mr D B Cooper was never found, nor the money from the bank robbery and the airstairs on B727 was modified to prevent opening in flight and the modification was called the DB Cooper vane.

The story has been in a number of aviation magazines and also a police show about US criminals that are still on the run.

Perhaps Mr Cooper was part of the SkyAir world team?
