As much as he meant to skydivers in general, this is actually a global
history question. D.B. Cooper had an influence felt today around the world!

Greg,
OK I just remembered <g>! D B Cooper (possibly an alias) embezzled a bunch of
money and skydived out of an airliner at high altitude over Oregon somewhere
and has never been found. Considered a folk-hero by the skydiving community and
a most-wanted criminal by the FBI and Scotland Yard. A bit like Dick Turpin?
Not really.
Martin:
Good boy! Actually he wasn't an embezzler, he was the first airline
hijacker, and he was never found. And definately an alias!
Are you going to the San Diego 3DS User's Group meeting Thursday?
Greg Pyros
Martin,
Yes, I am going to the San Diego meeting. Just can't get enough of your "Action
IPAS demos" <g>.
Greg:
Maybe he's too young to remember?
