Celebrate the 40th anniversary of D.B. Cooper's legendary skyjacking with author of the NY Times bestseller SKYJACK and a host of other Cooper experts and fans!
The Official D.B. Cooper Symposium is held in honor of the 40th Anniversary of D.B. Cooper's legendary November 1971 skyjacking, one of America's most baffling unsolved crimes.
The event is organized and hosted by Geoffrey Gray, contributing editor for New York magazine and author of the 2011 New York Times bestseller SKYJACK: The Hunt for D.B. Cooper. Join forensic scientists, law enforcement agents, survivalists, sleuths, pilots and parachutists and crack the decades old cold case.
Gray will be also be auctioning off an original D.B. Cooper dollar bill for charity. The bill was given to the hijacker as a ransom on the night of hijacking and was found nine years later by Brian Ingram, an eight year old boy, who was digging in some sand on the banks of the Columbia River.
After all presentations are made and awards handed out on Saturday (yes, there will be several contests!), attendees will caravan to Ariel to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Cooper hijacking at the legendary Ariel Tavern.**
About SKYJACK:
¬Å“I have a bomb here and I would like you to sit by me.¬Â
That was the note handed to a stewardess by a mild-mannered passenger on a Northwest Orient flight in 1971. It was the start of one of the most astonishing whodunits in the history of American true crime: how one man extorted $200,000 from an airline, then parachuted into the wilds of the Pacific Northwest and into oblivion.
D.B. Cooper's case has become the stuff of legend as well as an obsession for his pursuers, cursing them with everything from bankruptcy to suicidal despair. Now with SKYJACK, journalist Geoffrey Gray delves into this unsolved mystery, uncovering new leads in the famous case.

It’s my goal in life to win the DB Cooper look a like contest in Ariel, WA.
While on a road trip with my best friend a few years ago. We somehow picked up a Reno public radio station in the middle of the Northern Califoria wilderness. It was about midnight and they were doing a story on D.B. Cooper. We listened to it for about two hours. It’s one of my favorite memories from that road trip.
He was my Dad and all I got would be that lousy shirt.
Because I would look great in that shirt!
DB did it the hard way. If he was today’s banker he could’ve stolen ten times as much and do it legally!
I would love to win the t shirt so I can do a disappearing act whenever I feel like.
ive been researching and reading of this story for years i spent about a year in the seattle and portland areas for work and in my down time i searched and visited several places i just find it very interesting and actually am in the process of getting a tattoo of his likeness i just really do love the story im also searching for a copy of ha ha ha by db cooper hard to find lol im just a big fan and would love a shirt
What an amazing story. One of the best modern tall tales being told today, right up there with Jimmy Hoffa!
I’d like the shirt because it would go well with the cache of tattered and edge worn 20 dollar bills that I have. Yes, that’s right, I have the rest of the ransom loot that little Brian didn’t find in that river wash. If I win, I will send you a picture of me in the shirt AND the worn out money. (As proof, here’s one of the serial #’s – L72525838B series 1963A)
I remember this as a kid
Because I also have fantasies of dropping off the grid… he appeared one night and disappeared just as quickly, creating a one-act legend.
I deserve tHat badass shirt because I would rock the shit out of it!!!
Been looking for a DB Cooper shirt, too lazy to go look for the money.
I deserve a t-shirt because, with it, the truth of this mystery shall be revealed to me, and subsequently, the masses. Size large, please.
BTW DB Cooper is alive and living on a ranch in northern Arizona, with Elvis, Brue Lee, and Jimmy Hendrix.
i deserve a shirt because i’m going back to texas for the holidays, and while texas has a trail of well-known bandits, those are KNOWN. d.b. cooper has eluded all this time, and little is known. dig the t-shirt, if it has his f.b.i. image on it…rad! time to educate!!
This t-shirt would be the most amazing gift ever as my father & I talk about D.B. just about every phone call conversation we have with him in Chicago, & myself here in pdx. I would love to present my father with this t-shirt & to keep the shirt in the family. Our family loves this story and it has always been a point of discussion esp. during the holidays when we all get together. What an honor it would truly be to be clad in a D.B. T !!!!
My inlaws were offshore sailing at the time and American friends sold their sailboat to a man that paid in CASH. It was later that they saw the artist`s sketch.
He might have ended up sailing into the yonder..
From BC, Canada
I would like the T-shirt to wear because perhaps he is still alive, got amnesia, and is working at some dead-end job and doesn’t know who he is. He sees the shirt, we connect, have some pie at Sharis, get toasted at the tavern, and jump out of a plane to celebrate his new found identity.
A DB Cooper T-Shirt is all that I need to complete my wardrobe! Maybe if he sees me in it, he’ll give me some of his money!
Bunch of imposters
I remember this story as a kid and was always very curious about the mystery and amazed at the thought of jumping from a plane into the night.It took alot of guts and planning to pull off this stunt.This shirt would go well with my old newspaper headlines I have collected about him ,I m not to sure about finding him ,its been along time!
Am always intrigued by this story. Have you ever heard the Todd Snider song DB Cooper? Great stuff.
