D. B. Cooper exhibit opens at downtown Tacoma museum
Photos Courtesy Washington State Historical Society The Washington State History Museum has turned its attention toward one of America's greatest unsolved mysteries by opening its latest exhibit over the weekend. "Cooper" focuses on the infamous skyjacker D. B. Cooper (pictured bottom) who boarded a plane at Portland International Airport one November day in 1971 and leapt into infamy. The exhibit explores how his skyjacking changed the course of aviation design and passenger safety and incorporates neverbefore-seen artifacts, first-person accounts and FBI documents to help recreate the fateful November day. Visitors may also experience air travel in the 1970s via a recreated Boeing 727 cabin and cock-

The museum unveiled the exhibit with a members' gala and preview on Friday, followed by a grand opening celebration on Saturday that included behind-the-scene tours led by exhibit curators, a parachute expert and professional stuntman who demonstrated what it was like to jump out of a Boeing 727 at night, and an investigator who presented information on his search for Cooper. The exhibit runs through Jan. 5, 2014. More information is available online at washingtonhistory. org.
