Rockstar/Skydive New England vidiot Sean Rogan (featured in our November 2009 issue) has another awesome video for the song he wrote about his Sabre 170, “Canopy Song.” We won’t delay your grinning time any longer, so here it is:

D.B. Cooper

On November 24, 1971, a hijacker who called himself “Dan Cooper”, sat down in seat 18C on Northwest Orient’s Flight 305 out of Portland, Oregon, bound for Seattle, Washington. After takeoff, D.B. did the damn thing and ended up hopping out of the Boeing 727 with $1,051,940 (adjusted for inflation in 2008 dollars-originally $200,000).

He’s never been caught, and the case remains the only unsolved hijacking in the world.

So, happy D.B. Cooper Day!

Today’s That Guy is the guy who buzzed the European ski lodge in a wingsuit, prompting the local mayor to attempt to ban BASE jumping, wingsuit BASE jumping, wingsuit BASE jumping within 3 meters of a recreational skiier and really, just anything that comes close to what that guy did. The video and resulting press coverage was all over the whuffo world, and we want to know: Who is that guy?

That guy is Dominik Loyen, German ex-engineer turned drop zone owner turned blue skies free spirit, whose penchant for all thing Spongebob leaves everything just a little uncomfortable. He currently splits his time between teaching first jump BASE courses at 3-2-1 BASE in Spain and AFF/camera/coaching in Norway.

Stay tuned for an in-depth, heart-wrenching, tell-all interview with Dom . . .
