[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:DBCooper article.jpg
Image:DBCooper article.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Citation Needed for Hitch-Hiking Claim
I have researched this subject in conjunction with my involvement with a federal agency, and all information I have found and am familiar with states that McCoy became a suspect as a result of his claims that such a hijack could be easily accomplished. I have seen no evidence of a hitch-hiking claim prior to McCoy already having been considered a suspect. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.82.11.15 (talk) 11:26, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Did he jump?
It is not clear in the article. It just states he asked for the parachutes and had the plane. Did he actually jump and survive? If so, any description from witnesses? If not, what was the method he got away?--MartinezMD (talk) 03:15, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
- It just states he made his escape. I would say you need to have read the DB Cooper article to understand, so yes, it's not clear. The escape method should be described/duplicated here too. CapnZapp (talk) 09:33, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Death
Please either move the paragraph detailing his shooting to the "Death and afterwards" section, or rename the section into "After Death" (or "Legacy" etc).CapnZapp (talk) 09:31, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
