Sky Jacking: What a History

[Kburjr]

only allowed to tell that story in this thread if it happened on a plane in the 60's or 70's though

I'm good.

Found a good pod on this stuff….American Skyjacker.



Really good first story. A very candid interview with a guy who tried to copy DB Cooper. A salty old Navy man.

Loved him saying that last moment of wanting to chicken out before committing to it that he needed to “pump up his nuts and get moving”.

Air travel prior to about 1990 was insane. Not just from the hijacking standpoint, but just aviation safety in general. Air Disasters is a hell of a show, really enjoy it.

Really hard to find too much of this show out free on the Internet. Maybe a few episodes on Prime or Netflix, or snipets on YouTube. I can find lots of Mayday….similar show, just not one I like as much.

I drive the Mrs nuts watching them. She thinks it makes me a nervous flier. It does the opposite.

Ok. After listening to this whole pod I HIGHLY recommend it. There is a bunch of twists they tie into this. Super interesting.
