She’s not the only one who’s always got Cooper in the back of her head: It seems like eventually, even the least likely stories come up Cooper (NewsRadio? Anyone?).
What’s your favorite take on the DB Cooper escapade? Nothing’s off-limits: Fiction, documentary, or even the thinly veiled allusion. Bonus question: Pitch how you’d adapt the D.B. Cooper story (podcast, small-screen, and feature are all options) and who you’d cast. I mean, what else does Jon Hamm have going?
I like them all, but I've got a soft spot for S1 Prison Break and Hal Holbrook as Maybe DB. But my very favorite take lately is the DB Cooper cocktail: bourbon and 7Up. (Sprite will do in a pinch.) Find a little cocktail umbrella and there's your parachute. -- SDB
This is a case where I feel like the fictionalized versions run circles around the documentary-style re-tellings(though I do have fond memories of Unsolved Mysteries’ take). I feel like the definitive non-fiction book has yet to be written about D.B. Cooper Skyjack was terrible and though I adore The Skies Belong to Us, it’s treatment of Cooper is brief (which is fine, the book is doing other things). I’ll try the cocktail...7Up is a great mixer!
My introduction to Cooper was via Prison Break do I still have a soft spot for that. A fave singer of mine Joshua Ray Walker has a song called DB Cooper in his new record and my theory is it’s told from the point of view of the ransom money.

Was it season 3(?) of Justified? I am not a DB Cooper expert but I thought it was an interesting take.
