In Flight, D.B. Cooper
from Monday Matinee Hosted by Jack Ward
Re-Imagined Radio presented a live performance of In Flight with D.B. Cooper by Metropolitan Performing Arts actors and other community volunteers at Kiggins Theatre in downtown Vancouver, Washington. Audience count: 150. Streamed live on KXRW-FM, Vancouver's community radio. Archival recording available for on demand listening. Before he parachuted from the back of the low-flying passenger jet into a dark and story night and history over Southwest Washington with $200,000 strapped to his body, D. B. Cooper was alone in the economy section. The only person he talked with was Tina Mucklow, a flight attendant aboard Northwest Orient flight 305. Mucklow was twenty-something. Cooper was a middle-aged man with a bomb in a briefcase. What did they talk about? This contemporary radio drama, written by Dan Wyatt, Jr., imagined conversations between Cooper and Mucklow while while aboard the hijacked jet airliner, Thanksgiving eve, 1971. We also speculated about one of the many mysteries still lingering around the only unsolved case of air piracy in American aviation history.
