Speaking of D.B. Cooper...

Kenny Christansen is in fact a 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 :-) -- Dudley Henriques Ever seen the Amazon??? Or what beer made from rice will do to a wellused urinary tract? Bertie Ouch! That hurts. Pass me a cold one anyway! -- Dudley Henriques |

Getting on so one can't fly more than 15 minutes from a place to pee. Bertie Being alone in the Mustang has it's good points :-) Worth a whole thread on it's own really. Bertie 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!! :-)) :-)) -- Dudley Henriques |

Ouch ??? OUCH ??? 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. ;-) -- Jim in NC |
