D. B. Cooper and Flight 305: WanderLearn Part 1/3
The first of three episodes of D. B. Cooper and Flight 305, with Francis Tapon and myself, is live on the WanderLearn channel at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTJXq... (video file) and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1V9ow... (audio only).
Despite the provocative headline on YouTube, I do not fault the FBI's handling of the case of Flight 305. Some aspects, for example the concept of the "sled test" flight, were brilliant.
I think that the FBI relied on outside experts who did not provide a full picture of the uncertainties in the data, especially with regard to the flight timing, wind speeds and directions, and the distinction between the "oscillations" and the "pressure bump".
Part 2 will be on December 27, 2024, and Part 3 on January 10, 2025.
