1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

FBI: DNA Test Did Not Match DB Cooper Suspect

The FBI says DNA found on the tie of hijacker D.B. Cooper does not match a new suspect in the case.

Special Agent Fred Gutt cautioned that the test does not necessarily rule out the deceased suspect because investigators do not know whether DNA on the tie is that of the hijacker. Gutt said there are three different DNA samples on the tie and that it's possible it had been used previously by other people.

Gutt says the FBI had an inconclusive round of fingerprint testing and that investigators are now working with family members to identify items that could be tested further for fingerprints.

Federal investigators have checked hundreds of leads since the man dubbed "D.B. Cooper" parachuted from a flight with $200,000 dollars in ransom in 1971.


Another million dollars down the drain investigating a dead guy in a crime committed 40 years ago.

Of course it's America :P
Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.

Yep. Sadly just like in the USA And the rest of the world in this case. We are ruled by many politicians :P. A so called government  >:(

You know, for his own admission, Webb (whose post I answered for first, in the chains formed above) is from Florida and last time I checked Florida was part of the US. :-?

That said, what makes you believe I care if he is from USA or wherever else, anyway? My discussion applies almost everywhere in the world. Of course there are places like the US, or Japan, or some of the northern Europe nations that are run better, and then there are sinkholes like Italy, permanently only centimeters above the gutters. :P
