dead ringer for Cooper, was an army paratrooper, bought a house in
Buckley, WA, with cash that he never explained where it came from,
and he worked for Northwest Airlines. On his deathbed he started to
tell Lyle that there was something he had done that Lyle should
know, but then he died.

Kenny Christansen died in 1994 of cancer. The house is now a sign
shop.

Last I heard, some woman in Florida said she discovered the man she
was married to for 20 years was Cooper. Don't know what ever
happened to this story.
My guess is that he went into one of those lakes that dot the
countryside where he baled, got tangled up in the shrouds and
drowned. I think someone found some of the money in a stream bed
some time ago. This one will hang in there with some of the other
unsolved mysteries of our time.
Perhaps someday it will get solved :-)

Ever seen the Amazon???


Or what beer made from rice will do to a wellused urinary tract?

Worth a whole thread on it's own really.

Man, you haven't pee'd till you've pee'd into one of those funny looking
red plastic pee containers at 30 thousand in an unpressurized cockpit on
the way to a show site.

As if freezing it off wasn't bad enough, getting it caught in that damn
lower zipper in the flight suit REALLY made the day complete :-))

Ah yes, if those screaming "fans" at the show site only knew how loud
one of their "hero's" could yell "OUCH" into a damn O2 mask when his
"zingie" caught in that damn lower zipper, the whole "fighter pilot hero
thing" would have gone right out the damn window!!

You know Bertie..I REALLY miss the "good ole' days!! :-))
:-))

You HAVE to be kidding. It had to have been frozen SOLID to only get that
reaction! g

I would think that would at least merit a "SON OF A B*TCH" or something
along that line, or worse. ;-)

What really makes it interesting is that the mask has an open mike, and
of course you're simplexing ATC while all this is going on.

Humm, that is surprising. NO PTT button, huh?

On the end of the throttle barrel, but being a multi-task person I'm
usually doing several things at once :-)

I read a story about an F-16 pilot who "returned his plane to the taxpayers"
due to a mishap while trying to pee in a piddle pack.

That wouldn't be me. If you can't **** without losing the airplane,
you're too stupid to fly :-)
