"We’ve all lost something Tina. Homes, loved ones, faith, our souls...I’m doing this before all is lost. Now help me drop these stairs."
— D. B. Cooper to Tina Mucklow aboard Flight 305
The Re-Imagined Radio Times

Thanksgiving Eve, 1971. Drama unfolds aboard Northwest Orient #305, a passenger airliner hijacked by a mysterious man known only as "D. B. Cooper."
Somewhere over Southwest Washington Cooper parachutes into the dark and stormy night carrying $200,000 in ransom money. Only a small amount of the money has been found. Cooper remains at large, his exploit now legendary.
This will be the third year that Re-Imagined Radio has explored the Cooper legend. But this time we hope to get closer to the man behind that legend.
Writer and director Dan M. Wyatt, Jr. has used both historical research and imagination in crafting the script for "The Skyjacker." D. B. Cooper is a real person, with apparent motives, certainly a lot of conviction. Join us and hear for yourself.
