I seen the high heels, that is why a question mark is there, unless someone actually measures your height...it's just a guess

Because of the height requirements and heels and the girls having to be able to open the overhead compartments and place luggage in them - Tina in uniform - would have been about 5'8" herself in full stewardess dress. WHY the FBI knew there WAS no way - KC was Cooper. Blevin threw in the elevated shoe thing - but they were very very obvious in 1971 and I will personally attest to that....dated a guy who was shorter than I was.

"Tina KNEW how tall Cooper was! She was NOT guessing!"

I was referring to that quote on guessing, it's still only a guess unless she told him to "hold still while I measure you"

Hmmmmm (see photo)

Did YOU GUYS know that back in 1971 - the stewardess were REQUIRED to wear heels - I do not remember the height, but it was over 1 1/2 inches. The style in 1971 was - over 2 1/2 to 3 inches but, do NOT remember the stewardess requirements. My friend who was younger than I was applied to train as a Delta Stewardess in 1976 - her name was Pattie. She got side tracked and ended up getting married.

How tall was Tina. The height requirement was over 5ft 6 in and NO glasses. Add heels to that and you have 5 ft 8 ins.

Tina was not sitting at all times NOR was Cooper - thought you might need to be reminded of this. Tina KNEW how tall Cooper was! She was NOT guessing!


Am I miss remembering Cooper went to the bath room?

Is this not when Alice was face to face with Cooper as he returned from the bathroom? Did she not note how he carried the briefcase? She noted something else also, but I thought this was something Gray extricated from her mind or made up. Hell, for all I know - anything he said about Alice might have been created or altered!

P.S. to Smokin99 - I think you are dead on with this statement "Who knows, maybe, we are kidding ourselves and they really couldn't care less about this case. I hope that's not the case".

Unfortunately smokin99 - they DON'T CARE!
The FBI only wants to flush this case and the embarassment down the toilet. If it is never solved - then they have protected their integrity. If one little old woman did it they would never live it down!Right! Now the FBI has motive to let the case go unsolved!

Jo, the heels the stewardress is wearing in that photo are NOT high heels. And stewardresses did NOT wear high heels such as you describe.

In addition to looking beautiful, stewardresses also had some very important duties. Such as helping the passengers during emergencies. High heel shoes on the stews would have been a problem in case of an accident.

And whether you can believe it or not, high heels (or spike heels) were extremely hard on the cabin aisle carpets and the underlying aircraft structure.

I imagine that ever airline had its height requirements, but I doubt very much that 5 feet, 6 inches was a minimum. Just based on my personal observations, the minium height was more like 5 feet, 2 inches. And there was probably a maximum but I don't know what it would be.

Robert99

[mrshutter45 21]

good catch 99, I also thought she was wearing them by the way her right leg was, oh well.......

But then again

As for women most airlines will require you to wear high heels when you are boarding, unboarding and walking in the terminal.

Most airlines will require you to change into flats or lower heals when you are on the plane for both safety and comfort reasons.

1971 - Delta Airlines requirements did state height and glasses and even weight.

To get on with Delta - you had to be pretty sharp in 1971. They WERE required to wear heels and like I said I do NOT know what that requirement was. I KNOW it was over 1 inch and you couldn't buy one inch heels in 1971 unless it was OLD lady shoes.

The height requirement was around 5'6" - Perhaps there is a retired Delta stewardess lurking around who can tell us what the 1971 requirements where. I personally saw the requirements in 1976, because of Pattie . They wanted only the Best and in those days you had to be pretty hot. There were changes made around 1975 that lowered the height requirement.

Remember this in 1971 - we didn't usually have luggage carry ons. The overhead compartments were higher and smaller. The most a man or woman carried on was a briefcase and a make-up case.
Perhaps a shopping bag or Christmas gifts. Flying in 1971 has nothing to do with the rule in the yrs and changes that would come later,

Even in 1978 and 1979 when I was flying from Denver to Atlanta (twice)- I only carried my make-up case and a purse. Why don't one of you contact Florence and see if she remembers what the requirements where. I am NOT wrong. Our luggage was strong and sturdy (I still have the make-up case and larger pieces)...they ARE very heavy and only used to store thing in the attic now. Probably dry rotted.

Jo, All airlines had requirements for their stewardresses but not always the ones you listed.

There was indeed carry on luggage in 1971 and that included luggage specifically designed to fit under the seats.

If sewardresses couldn't reach the overhead bins, they could get four or more male volunteers to assist them in less than two seconds. I think the stews received special training from their mothers for situations like that.

Flight requirements.

These planes were larger and Delta required some height, not 5'2". Delta did make some changes but, in the 1960's the height and weight were strictly adhered to until there were some law-suits (especially about weight). I understand that if you were on the short side of the height requirements you did NOT get the "glamour flights" with the larger planes.

The carry-on's were very small. When you speak of a carry on today - we are talking a decent size piece of luggage. The 727's had over-head compartments and a 5'2" stewardess could not depend on a "gentleman" to do her job for her.....

Most of the girls who went thru training did NOT make the grade.
Wonder just how the airlines picked them (business was not OPEN Book in the 60's) and there was hidden discrimination taking place?

The small make-up case were not light especially in the designer lines (they did not have the plastics and fabric we have today). The make-up case I went to College with was lighter (coated card board) than the designer luggage I had in the 70's. The more they cost the heavier they were - at least that was the way it was in my case.

The late 60's was a glamour era for the Stew's and the competition to get the jobs especially with Delta was competitive. Delta chose only the pick of the crop and was the most sought after airline to work for...most girls did not make it thru the Flight Training Schools.

The lawsuits started around 1969 or 1970 and Delta had to change their requirements. For the smaller planes 5'3" was ok, but not for the 727 and the larger planes...they wanted GLAMOUR and they got it! Delta's signature in the 60's for the stewardesses was Glamour on the bigger planes and they want to appeal to the clientele who could afford the airfare.

We are talking Delta Flights 1960's and then changes started to come around with the influx of the lawsuites over weight, marriage, pregnancies and other discriminations.

[georger 244]

It's a simple concept. Consider this: If the full body of witness testimony and documentation that I have presented about KC had been presented within twelve months AFTER the hijacking, I think the FBI would have spoken to these people right away. Forty years later? Who can say...their current position is that Cooper died in the jump anyway, and had little or no chute experience. But again, these are the same people who went public with Marla in a fairly big way, and got burned.

I don't know. Maybe someone will take what I discovered and try to figure it all out somewhere down the road. Was he or wasn't he the guy? You got me, that's for sure.

Well, that's certainly responsible. (*laughs*)

Strange! So aside from your smarm you are fully
capable of non-diversion quick to-the-point
response. Amazing!

Guess your diversions and avoidances are
intentional and just tactical !

What else is an act?

Did you give any thought to 'if I say this then ...',
or 'if I say that, then ...'.

And, what if it's real? Then what?

I notice you havent issued a denial, which is further
evidence everything you do "is" intentional, since if
the story is true you know very well it's true, already!

Avert, divert, sidetrack, avoid ... and still get the
message out, ie. the job done.

I'm going to post a portion of a previous comment to set the record straight:

At least I am not posting your entire post like Georger does, but you really really need to become more objective and stop spelling out the details over and over and over.

Do you THINK you can make anyone believe it if you keep repeating it over and over and over?

Do you see me doing this anymore...everyone is sick of it and even I am sick of hearing my own story so I have given it a break...except for the new stuff. Why don't you do the same.

Certain points have to be made now and then about the suspect (Weber, Christiansen, Coffelt, Waite and all of the others), but a complete replay of the details are not necessary. Perhaps I am obcessive and compulsive, but you have me beat all to pieces.

A short narrative is necessary so someone knows what you are talking about, but you take it too far.

What was the best part of your post? The statement I am quoting below:

Quote

I don't know. Maybe someone will take what I discovered and try to figure it all out somewhere down the road. Was he or wasn't he the guy? You got me, that's for sure.

Geeze!
I deal with this everyday and the only diffence between you and myself is that I lived with the man for 17 yrs and I have researched his life for the better part of the following 17yrs. Not, to mentioning that Weber ACTUALLY confessed to being Dan Cooper.

NO one is going to solve this case! There will always be reasonable doubt until someone puts the suspect ON the PLANE!

I have actually been working on that, but I ran out of funds to expend on this project - so I rely on others.

Did I NOT ask you to do something? Check to see if there was an exit in 1971 and if the sign was actually there in 1971 regarding Paradise Park in 1971.

Hell, post a map because I am not sure I know where it is. I just know Duane mentioned a park on the West side of the Interstate where the Guys used to go and the covert that was under the highway. Where was the covert in 1971? Were we anywhere near Paradise Park?
Not that it will mean one iota to anyone, but me.

I still want to know what more was said negative about me other than "NUTS". Hell, I have to be nuts to have used up 17 yrs of my life trying to figure out WHY my husband told me what he did and trying to figure out his life (at least I put more together then the FBI did), but the FBI is NOT going with anything! They have washed their hands of Cooper.

If someone gets me a piece of that cord from the cut-up chute sent to a museum (at the cut edges) I have an ex-military man who will test it. I worry about his doing this because the fragment is so small and then my "evidence" would go Poof, but the FBI isn't going to look at it!

The FBI tells me to put Weber on the plane - well, I need their help for it to be legitimate, but I also want to know that the piece will actually be tested. Beside money there is a bigger problem, the piece is in a long bladed knife. The handle has a hole in it like at one time it had a rope thru it to attach to one's belt. The same knives used by smokejumpers!

So what is the problem - I can't take a knife on a plane!

Idea!
The FBI research lab is in Washington DC or Virginia. Maybe I could get someone to drive me there - if the FBI would test it against the cut ends of the chute Cooper cut up. You Think! Hell NO - they aren't going lift a hand for me to put Weber on that plane and they wrote Weber off with erroneous errors.

Good Night!

From a 1966 employment add:

"A high school graduate, single (widows and divorcees with no children considered), 20 years of age (girls 19 1/2 may apply for future consideration). 5’2” but no more than 5’9,” weight 105 to 135 in proportion to height and have at least 20/40 vision without glasses."

Law suits started in 1970 pretty much started the end of this "openly" being used.

I couldn't find any shoe requirement in writing, just a few notes about sensible, yet attractive, for emergency situation wear. A few former flight attendants did mention no more than 1.5" in height, and no "spikes", for the same reason as stated above..

Well, Mister Blevins - where are you? Why the
sudden silence, after dominating Dropzone for so
many months and years?

Stalling for time? To compose a response?

Something definately happened in the last two
weeks of November 2007, following Geoff Gray's
release of "Unmasking DB Cooper" Oct 21st of
2007, in which he (and Porteous) name Kenneth
Chrisiansen in the New Yorker Magazine, as a
prime suspect in the DB Cooper case.

Then, following Lyle Christiansen's personal interview
on radio in late Nov 2007, Porteous suddenly went
silent in response to inquiries, then YOU suddenly
surfaced for the first time ever (people didnt even
know who you were!), fielding inquiries made to
Mr. Porteous. You surfaced issuing denials, out of
the blue. And people asked:
"Who is RobertMBlevins !" ?

Geoff Gray's article introducing Lyle and Kenneth
Christiansen mentions "Skipp Porteous", but it
doesn't mention a "RobertMBlevins", at all.

You registered here at DZ Aug 1 of 2010. But you
had been active in the Christiansen background
working with Porteous, since at least November of
2007. That's a lot of preparation for finally coming
to Dropzone.

Do I have the dates right?

Mr. Science,

Because I spent most of my time forcibly locked in the janitor’s closet in high school, I wasn’t able to attend the lesson on colors. Besides not knowing what it is like to be in the company of women, or any beauty for that matter, I also have no idea what the eye color hazel is, as it sounds like something made up. Is there some way you can help Mr. Science? Signed- Colorblind in Seattle.

Mr. Science is always happy to help the less fortunate, as well as total freaks of nature like this Colorblind person, because Mr Science is all about class, and hot chicks. Let’s begin with the legitimacy of this color to dispel any rumors that it is somehow ‘made up’. The state of Washington offers eight color choices as well as ‘unknown’. Those colors which an entire state recognizes include: Amber, Black, Blue, Brown, Gray, Green, Pink (yes pink) and Hazel. Unknown and pink disturbs Mr. Science so he won’t get into those, but the other colors are great. In fact Mr. Science would suggest Washington swapping pink and unknown for Bedroom and Fire, but that’s because Mr. Science is a romantic.

The attached image illustrates how some people struggle with the concept of hazel eyes in the new millennium. Mr. Science will just have to assume this person is not a licensed driver and has never had the privilege to gaze into the hues which separate the dominant coloration of brown, from the exotic shades of green, capable of sending rational men into jewelry stores and spending six years income on a ring, so the math would work out for the wages he claimed to make in three months. Mr. Science is all about science.

I hope this will help you on your quest to find the definition of hazel, since you apparently forgot that Google and the internet were already invented and some simple searches could be done which provides copious amounts of information to all but the most mentally challenged and socially rejected. Mr. Science is always glad to open up new worlds to people like this as long as they pledge to stay locked in their homes. Mr. Science sees a pair of sparkling eyes and will report back on their exact color in a future installment. Remember, whenever you need a logical, simple and honest answer you can always, ask Mr. Science!

Just so you don't get a grade of "incomplete", With all those color choices, though, unknown's got me bamboozled. I can see "unable to determine" though that seems a bit of a cop-out, too - but "unknown"? Hmmm.....

Okay back to your point. So if I had to describe it - I would say hazel is a kind of mix of amber, light brown and green as pictured. Definitely not brown -
I think if I were to confuse hazel with anything, I think it would probably be amber.
On the other hand - do many people actually use the word amber when describing eye color? Or would they say hazel?
Dang....I'm getting a growing sense of deja vu. .

To NO one in particular. Just a question:

HOW MANY OF YOU KNEW AN INDIVIDUAL STILL LIVING WHO WAS A DELTA STEWARDESS IN 1965 AND 1969?

IF YOU ARE AN OLDER PERSON OVER 70, HOW MANY TIMES DID YOU FLY A LARGE COMMERCIAL PLANE PRIOR TO 1970?

IF YOU ARE OVER 70 HOW MANY 5'2'" STEWARDESS FOR DELTA DID YOU KNOW IN 1967 (just picking a middle of the line time frame).

1 1/2 inch heels sounds reasonable....but, I have found NOTHING about the shoe requirements between 1965 and 1968.

Just posting to be posting - The hunt is over and Grey is roasting over the fire - the bounty of his hunt....which just might be Crow.

Blevins already knows what Crow tastes like, but he will indulge until it makes him sick.

Waiting for the FBI to pass around it's bounty! Wonder what that will be.

I will just pass for the time being.
Not that hungry! Beside I know where the fish are although they aren't taking the bait the way they used to.


My eyes are hazel - What color are my eyes?

They are whatever color I want them to be - medium to light hazel eyes REFLECT color because they are a combination of colors.

Wear medium shades of green and they appear more green

Wear gold and the gold flecks
reflect causing the brown rings and gold stars to shine.

Wear Blue and the greyish ring shines and the whites take on a blueish tint with the gray back ground stars shining a dull washed gray that is almost blue.

Wear Purple and you will know what Hazel is - shocking sometimes.

After Duane died I met my sister for lunch on day near the beach.
She was 6 yrs younger than I was and always thought my eyes were brown. I went away to school when she was only 12 yrs old. I had on bright True golfing green and that was the 1st time she ever noticed my eyes.....My sister of 49 yrs looked at me and said "I didn't know you had green eyes".

The light conditions also have a bearing on the color conception of certain hazel eyes.

For the most part my eyes appear to be olive with a bluish grey ring and gold flecks...but the grey seems to be taking over most days now. They have become somewhat dull.

So my sister had thought my eyes were brown in the past - so could KC have been Cooper? NOT a chance, but his eye color was only a small part of the Why
Not!

I read your remark above and almost choked to death. I had posted my last post about Hazel eyes as a first hand account and this is when I cracked UP Laughing - getting choked in the process.

Your last paragraph almost did me in! Almost word for word when a gentleman friend many yrs ago realized I had unusual eyes....and then you END the paragraph with "I'm getting a growing sense of deja vu." In fact Doug Pasternac also made a comment about my eyes during the interviews he and I had.

Now they are just dull as they peer out from beneath droopy wrinkled eye lids with almost non-existent lashes and a fading dull complexion. What surrounds hazel eyes - is what they reflect.

I’m still struggling with this ‘pink’ eye color in Washington and how it is likely for albinos. Let’s face it, the only reason the state needs to know hair and eye color along with height and weight is for criminal activities. So this had me considering a few things, because I’m deep.

Has there ever been an albino criminal? Can you name that bank robber or serial killer albino? Yet they are constantly portrayed in Hollywood productions as the most sinister, evil and spooky of villains. That’s so strange because I’ve always associated Hollywood with realistic portrayals and quality information.

If a person is an albino, then why have them fill in the hair color? Is it to remind them one more time that they are albinos? I don’t think they should have to fill out any other physical parameter other than ‘albino’ for any ID or license.

Let’s say you were just mugged by an albino and the police are taking a report. Can you give us his hair color? He’s an albino, it’s white or translucent! What was his approximate age? I would say he’s between albino and albino. How about weight? He looked to be a little on the albino side. Did he have any scars, tattoos or distinguishing marks? No officer, no he didn’t. Meanwhile the albino crook is getting farther and farther away. Nice.

According to the interwebs, the frequency of albinism among humans is 1 in every 17,000. So let’s say an albino robbed you in Fresno, California. Statistically there are 30 albinos in the whole city of half a million people. Considering gender and age distribution, you barely have enough albinos for a line-up. So you can see that if an albino ever commits a crime in Fresno, all of them must be gathered up in order to execute an arrest and create a line-up for identification.

I would go on to suggest that albinos be allowed to drive cars without license plates for the same reason stated above. If they are fleeing a crime the cop doesn’t have to get confused with make, model and a bunch of random plate characters, he just gets on the radio and announces an albino speeding north on Highway 99. Same for any non-albino spotted driving a car without plates, you have all the probable cause to know he stole it from an albino.

So that’s my small way of trying to induce some efficiency and reduce costs when the government has decided to outsource thinking, while abolishing common sense. I hope it helps Washington out.

Mr. Science,

I’m a complete twat and need constant steering and manipulation in order to decide if I like something or not. At first, the thought of wearing a fanny pack was comedic and douchey, but thanks to my friends over enthusiasm and ‘asshole puppetry’ disguised as concern, I have some marvelous photographs of me wearing one of those things to remind me just how cool I really am, forever and ever!

Because no one would ever engage in group douchebaggery or the collective surrender of their reputations and credibility, I have a question about the awesome nature of Amazon book reviews, Mr. Science.

Since you are so cool and strong, would you give me a brief on the statistical probability of four people submitting stellar reviews on a book which is two years old, on the same day? Thank you Mr. Science, your Five Stars in my pathetic, easily swayed and therefore victimized book. Signed, Easily Fooled Short Bus Rider.



Thank you for your query, Easily Fooled; Mr. Science has a special place in hell reserved for anyone who knowingly engages in deceptive practices, under the auspices of helping their fellow passenger on Earth, with their recommendations for goods and services like those provided by Bernie Madoff. Mr. Science considers them among the lowest of the low, who are responsible for the high overhead and insurance we all pay in order to offset such despicable behaviors. They hide from the likes of Mr. Science because he is cool and strong.

For some odd reason, shill reviews are still crafted even though the only people left falling victim to them are the most vulnerable. These are not people of honor, and they didn’t learn this recipe for treachery this week no matter how much they will protest, too much, to the contrary. Mr. Science views the unfiltered review process at websites like Amazon, as lost opportunities, polluted by those who aspire to achieve the ethics of a Penn State shower room attendant. Quite the shame, but Mr. Science is now closer to answering that philosophical question about man being inherently good or evil.

Unfortunately for people like ‘Short Bus Rider’ they will continue to be used and victimized like those whose parents weren’t wary about the claims of the company that manufactured Thalidomide. Mr. Science is well aware of how clever these people view themselves; as are a large sector of society which will and should shun them:

Mr. Science hopes this helps you Short Bus Rider, but Mr. Science holds no fantasy about it being of any long term benefit. For people with no foundation of honor or ethics are constantly seeking the next rationalization which will grant them psychological permission to violate you in ways that they would view as abhorrent, if the tables were turned slightly. Mr. Science is going to spend the balance of the year not screwing people over, and not feeling the need to rationalize any similar accusations. Remember, whenever you need a logical, simple and honest answer you can always, ask Mr. Science!

What the HECK are u talking about Farfung? Since I cannot do U tube or movies (only have dial-up) - the posts are all gibberish to me.


My ability to learn new things has come and gone. Like my eyes my abilities are fading. I have reached that stage in life often depicted in art - as Sitting in a Rocker waiting for Time to go By.

Oh, I forgot - according to Others I am supposed to be OFF my Rocker - not in it.

P.S. I don't own a Rocker.

This makes more sense than the last few post do to me! Not Knocking U, just need a distraction this evening. Not feeling Well at all. Another day gone - Wasted, waiting till I feel better and it stops Raining.

Getting to the point I don't even want to go to the grocery store and for the most part just don't feel like getting out and making "small" talk. The Good Days are few and between and then only for a short part of the day.

SMALL TALK!

This afternoon there was a 4 prop army green transport going over and over and over my house. I have 4 sky windows and I looked up as it went over the kitchen sky window. I was so darn mad they were coming so close to the house. My roof and sky window vibrated with the sound of the engines. It looked like they were barely 4 stories above me. I could see the riveted exterior of the belly and the props turning.

Decide to call the FAA - but guess what? If they had been dropping Crap or worst Bombs even the media would not have been able to stop them. I do live at the highest point in my area and 13 miles from Eglin - so there have been other training sessions that have come in too low. Seems like they could do these session out over unpopulated areas.

A couple of yrs ago they were doing some manuevers with a similar plane and one time it sounded like they cut the engine and it was coming down on me - it pulled up only about 3 stories above my roof. I was in my drive on the phone and was terrified - thought it was coming down. I have 2 trees in my yard that are over 2 stories tall...so I know when the damn things are too low!

I am sure they were probably higher than I thought - but it was scary and noisy as hell. The fact they kept repeating the same pattern right over my head and my house really got to me.

When it happened 2 or 3 yrs ago - they were doing these huge circles and then it sounds like they deliberately kill the engine and then restart it to pull out of the dive. What if the engine had NOT kicked back in - how can they do this in populated areas? That one a few yrs ago - was much closer...but scarier since they engines sound like they cut out.

Really... I thought that noise was the cue to break out the go pills.
