M A Muzammil 0 Report post Posted December 18, 2005 I just love those old jets Those rear steps reminds me of some character, Gary Cooper if I'm not mistaken, who hijacked one of these aircraft. He then parachuted out of the plane from the rear door and never heard of since. 9515[/snapback] You mean "Cooper Vane"? Quite a funny story. After the incident, Boeing installed the Cooper Vane mechanism (if I'm not mistaken) to prevent the aft door from being opened inflight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
