The hijacking was in the news way before the jump after 8 PM. If I'm not mistaken, there was a news crew at the Seattle airport.
OK, so let's say it's a fact that it was in the news well before the jump. If there was a news crew at the airport do you think the police let them get close to the plane? Like where they could have been seen by Cooper? I kind of doubt it. And some people need to be reminded that there were no cell phones back then.
So again, my point is simply that if Mayfield was Cooper and he made a call to Hemilsbach 1 & 3/4 hrs. after the jump he had to be-
1. Extremely lucky to be so close to a phone.
2. 100% sure the story was in the news or else he would tip his hand.
Ckret, is it correct that the time line of Mayfield calling Hemilsbach was 1 & 3/4 hrs. after the assumed jump time?
