Calling Out The Troops
The military was quickly involved in the search for Cooper and the missing money. A few jets, a C-130 plane, and a helicopter did an aerial search of the area where Cooper jumped off the Northwest flight. Plus 1,000 soldiers scoured the surrounding area where he had possibly landed. Even an SR-71 spy plane had been missioned to take a photo of the flight area taken by Cooper around the area he parachuted off the plane from, but nothing had ever come out of that either.
