Pints from the Past: My Father Created D. B. Cooper
On November 24, 1971, a man calling himself Dan Cooper purchased an airline ticket for $20 and boarded a one-way flight from Portland to Seattle. After takeoff, he hijacked the plane with a note, collected $200K in cash, demanded a reroute to Mexico, and parachuted out of the plane, never to be identified or found again. The legend of “sky pirate” D.B. Cooper made national headlines thanks to journalist Clyde Jabin. His son, historian Darrell Jabin, tells this incredible story with personal insight.
Darrell Jabin, “Oregon’s Traveling Historian,” has been researching and sharing unique local history since 2009. Darrell’s award-winning videos have a growing audience on social media, and he is a prolific history speaker. We are lucky to have hosted him at Pints from the Past several times!
