chaoskitty 0 #2 October 28, 2005 Its less obscure than your avatar. I know someone at the Skydive Atlanta halloween party is dressing as DB Cooper. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leapdog 0 #3 October 28, 2005 I used that costum one year. I recommend that you wear black tennis shoes so your feet are comfortable. and that the main is cutaway but the container is closed with a block of foam other wise your back won't feel too good later on in the night. I wasn't very clear on what DB had to keep the money in when he left the plane but I used a 12 pack box full of beer and covered it with a brown paper bag so it was like a brief case and used a sharpie to draw a dollar sign on it. You'll find that some of the older jumpers and even some that read up on the history of skydiving and related things will know what your costum is and the younger newer jumpers won't know at all.

GTAVercetti 0 #4 October 28, 2005 Dressing in a skydive outfit is weak. Specially if you are going to a skydiving party. Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grue 1 #5 October 28, 2005 QuoteDressing in a skydive outfit is weak. Specially if you are going to a skydiving party. Nah, it's a party full of whuffos, 99% of whom don't know me or know I skydive, so I can get away with the "zero-cost costume" part of it cavete terrae.

wartload 0 #6 October 28, 2005 And he was only known as "DB Cooper" in the press. They made that part up. The name that he gave to buy tickets was "Dan Cooper." There were a few guys at DZs across the country who got visited by the suits because their initials were DC, their name was "Dan," or some other similarity.

BillyVance 34 #9 October 28, 2005 I know one dude who went to a party dressed as Superman in a wheelchair with a short tube taped to the front of his neck!

However, be careful with taking a rig to a party...unless your idea of party greatly differs than mine.

Rebecca 0 #11 October 28, 2005 OMG - does anyone here watch Prison Break? This week, the young main character approached a 30-year 'tenured' inmate with the theory that he was DB Cooper. He went through the whole thing - where he jumped, where he might have landed, how he could almost have gotten away until his car broke down, how he could have buried/hidden the money... you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

Rebecca 0 #13 October 28, 2005 I missed a bit - all season, huh? They did 'flashback' to a map with tacks and string plotting out distances and likely directions... 'Mr. Cooper' denies, of course. So, his plan is that DB will want out to get the money, and therefore help with the escape? Tell me more... you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

I'm having a tough time coming up with a single skydiving costume that hasn't been done way too many times. Are you thinking of wearing your own rig? Or trying to be historically accurate?

goose491 0 #16 October 28, 2005 QuoteAnd he was only known as "DB Cooper" in the press. They made that part up. Actually it was the FBI. They had checked their database for the alias Dan Cooper, or D. Cooper. One that came up was an ex-con named Dan B. Cooper and this lead actually looked promising (something about his rap sheet). Anyway, it obviously wasn't him but they had gotten used to saying "DB Cooper" and it stuck thereafter. So it was by communique with the FBI, that the press got the name out with the added initial. ...useless trivia. N My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

BellyFlailer 0 #18 October 28, 2005 I almost pissed my pants at "Superman in a wheelchair". I knew a guy who tied a small mattress to his back and wore a skirt. If a girl asked him what he was he would fall back on the mattress, spread his legs and put them up in the air, and say "I'm you". Many women got angry with him that night.Not a recommended costume. http://www.SkydiveVids.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
