Remember checking the 'Cooper Vane' that was added to the B-727 after the hijacking?

There (obviously) have been several books written about D.B. Cooper, but I enjoyed this one: Amazon.com: D. B. Cooper: What Really Happened (9780809248544): Max Gunther, Gunther: Books

I've gotten a bigger chuckle out of the comments attached to that news article, than the useless article itself. The article only tells me that the FBI must still have more money to blow, than the U.S. Govt has in total.
Maybe a substantial part of the $14 trillion U.S. Govt debt is attributable to the FBI expenses involved in trying to find and charge a small-time, but pretty clever crook, who's likely to be long dead, over the last 40 years. The mind boggles.

onetrack - could very well be so. Indeed, we're overwhelmed by the entire budget debacle.
