The Exchange at 125: D.B. Cooper and the Exchange

DBCooperFEATURE-713x1024

No photos of D.B. Cooper are available, but he’s been immortalized in this sketch.

On March 22, 1972, Northwest Area Exchange associates operated mobile field exchanges for Soldiers searching for “D.B. Cooper,” an unidentified man who hijacked a Boeing 727 aircraft between Portland, Ore., and Seattle, Wash. He extorted a $200,000 ransom (or $1.2 million in today’s dollars). He—and the money—were never found.
