I think this thread is going to "get hot" soon. There is a lot going on in the NORJAK world.

All, Some guy named Special Agent Lawrence D Carr sent me some information that will allow me to complete my current project. I plan to pull an “all nighter” tonight and see how far I can get. (Sugar is out-of-town, so, I’m allowed to stay up past my bedtime.) I have no...

snowmman, I am no expert on Flight Data Recorders (FDRs) and Flight Data Acquisition Units (FDAUs) but here’s my read on FDRs: In the late 1960s and early 1970s, new recorders that could retain information about the engines, flight controls, flaps, etc., to fully assist accident...

All, I got to 35 responses on my poll (on http://n467us.com/ ) and stalled down. Maybe I have fewer readers than the stats indicate, or maybe people don’t like “Instructional Fun.” Anyway, I have put up the IDs on the answer page. Go to the poll page and follow the link to the IDs. Sluggo

snowmman, I will get back to you soon. My data has gotten really voluminous lately (partly thanks to you) and I need to find my “FDR History files”. (Flight Data Recorder, not Franklin Delano Roosevelt) :) I have an off-the-top-of-my-head response, but as you are aware, many people take those...

All, On the old thread I posted a Ground Speed calculation for snowmman. It was in error! I know, it’s really rare for me to make a mistake, but I sometimes do. A nice man who lurks on this thread helped me to recognize my error. He was too polite to just tell me I was stupid, so it took a...

All, I put something uncharacteristically frivolous on my site today. Someone sent me a morphed sketch (between the 1971 Composite and the 1988 Unsolved Mysteries sketch). I put the image on the site and have nine suspects and a poll to see which suspect most resembles the morphed sketch...

NO, try http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?forum=21; Sluggo Edited to change nonsensical “Yes” to more logical “No”.

Affirmative.

Snowmman, I sure don’t get the same “sense” from the obituary, as from Galen Cook’s account of his background. Thanks, as President Bush would say; “Dude, you’re AWSOME!” Speaking of obituaries… A friend of mine was the Obituary Editor for our small hometown newspaper, on his desk was a...

From my web site: Update 05/29/2008 Cook has released more information on his suspect. The man’s name was released today I an article in “the Depoe Bay (OR) Beacon Online”. The suspect’s name is Wolfgang “Wolf” Gossett. Gossett died Sept. 1, 2003. [More to come.]

snowmman, Slow down here. Let’s don’t over-science this thing. Go back to the basics. Yes, the Jan 72 map included all factors, pull high, pull low, no pull, etc. (BTW: The no-pull calculation was 2600 ft along the path of the aircraft, assuming he was in the tucked-in position.) As much as...

Quote From Larry Carr: Since they were at 10,000 MSL we will use the WS and WD from 7,000. Use 225 deg and 20 knots Using my asa CX-1 Pathfinder (because I have gotten very lazy in my old age) I get: Enter WD = 225 Enter WS = 20 knots Enter Course = 175 deg (the magnetic Deviation is...

snowmman, I’m not sure I’m following you. There was a phone-patch with MSP so they could have been discussing the possible jump. There would be no Portland Tower Comms. Portland was not a Class C Airspace (there were no Class C airspaces then). They would have been at 10,000 which would...
