"FBI kept 13 or 14 bills; the rest of the money was divided between the airline's insurance company and himself"...snip
First time I've heard this part.

His story will make a great movie.
Unfortunately, it's already been done.

****MENA, Ark. -- An Arkansas man hopes to auction off some frayed $20 bills that he says could bring him thousands of dollars. Brian Ingram, 34, a Mena carpenter, says he was the boy on a family outing****
And if I remember my history, his papa was wanted in another state as there was a warrent out for his arrest.

I'm a bit surprised that the airline didn't want all of their $$$ back at the time it was found.
Ah, the legend of DB Cooper lives on. If he did die, where did he come from, and is there a family he left behind?

When I was working at Douglas on the Twin Jet Program, I found out that the rear door release mechanism was redesigned as a result of this incident. The new design received a typical part number that the FAA required to be installed on all aircraft in the fleet and all future ones built. However, the incident and subsequent redesign had so much attention surrounding it that the part was forever conspicuously known as the “D.B. Cooper handle” when anyone talked about it.
