me to the Columbia in WA in 1987, from the Vancouver side, he pointed out an area and said behind those trees is the tower to the Portland airport and then pointing to the West he said "I have a friend who used to live over there." Did Mayfield live in Portland in 1971 as was indicated ? How did an ex-con become a city council man?

Last I heard Ted was still living at Sheridan, Oregon. You might check to see if his phone number is listed. I don't think he served any time in jail. I'm not sure how he avoided prison, with the seriousness of his crimes. I think he even had a stolen aircraft on his dropzone when he was busted. There are others on these forums that know his situation much better than I. I'll bet he'd enjoy talking to you about D.B. Cooper....Steve1

Hi steve1,
He still lives in Sheridan but does spend winter-time in the Tuscon area; his new wife is from that area.
He has spent more than one turn in the pokey, though.

Yes he has. That is what was said when 20/20 did their story on him in the late '90s. I'll have to look for the VHS tape that I used to tape that episode on and review it. Basically they focused on a student who died on his first jump, then focused on Ted's past and history of running that DZ. I couldn't believe at the time that anybody could have a record that bad... so many fatalities...

He was a stubborn fool too. The authorities even confiscated all of his skydiving gear, and what does he do? Go borrow gear from another DZ and be back in business the next weekend!

This topic is now closed to further replies.
The person that made this statement is a complete idiot or doesnt know Mayfield very well.
Mayfield endangered more people than can be imagined just by owning a dropzone and his bodycount over the history of that same dropzone is evidence.

This is no doubt very true. A lot of trusting people died there that shouldn't have.
I didn't know Ted that well, but you couldn't help but like the guy. I have no doubt he was wild and crazy enough to do something like hi-jack a plane. My first thought though was that he didn't look anything like D.B. Cooper during that time period. Sounds like the F.B.I. was grasping at straws.
I still think D.B. Cooper is laying in the bottom of the Columbia River....Steve1
