snip...."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.

I know, does not even make sense.

I can trump that.

I am DB Cooper.

Uh oh, you're in trouble now!

[proxy_user]

Floatin' I'm floatin' on down through the sky
Never had no ambition to learn how to fly
I'll be glad when it's over and ready to land
With this bag full of money I've got in my hand

Oh I grew up believin' in Jesse and Frank
Cause I never had nothin' or no one to thank
And I came pretty close to unloadin' a bank
But I was saved by my draft board who made me a yank

Floatin' I'm floatin'...

And in the 101st they busted your hump
But they taught me a man isn't always a chump
In the course of Korea I learned how to jump
In the card game of life I was holdin' a trump

Floatin' I'm floatin'...

If you can't get a job and they think you're insane
If the years of your youth have been washed down the drain
And you wake up some mornin' with nothin' but pain
It was then I decided to grab me a plane

Floatin' I'm floatin'...

With all of my trainin' it wasn't too tough
Now I'm through takin' orders and all of their guff
Gonna buy a Rolls Royce and some luxury stuff
Cause a veteran's pension ain't nearly enough

Floatin' I'm floatin'...

NO.

I am D.B. Cooper!

[Joe 6-pack]

I've got an *air*-tight alibi....

[Joe 6-pack]

"I am D.B. Cooper!"

The REAL DB Cooper would know that there aren't periods separating the D & B. It's Like Harry S Truman...

PPPfffffftttt.

His story will make a great movie.

Unfortunately, it's already been done.

The real DB Cooper was named Richard McCoy and was killed in a shootout with the FBI in 1974.

Weird coincidence that this guy lives in Mena. That will give the tinfoilers hours of fun.

"The real DB Cooper was named Richard McCoy and was killed in a shootout with the FBI in 1974."

That's what they say, but what proof do you have that he was the REAL McCoy?

In Florida couple of years ago, a man on his deathbed confessed HE was the real DB Cooper.

****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.
