The Legend of D B Cooper

He has been called a Northwest folk hero Jesse James and Billy the Kid. But until now he hasn't been called a she. Contrary to popular belief D.B. Cooper not only survived the infamous hijacking on November 24 1971. He also committed the high-flying caper as a woman. Cooper's real name was first Bobby then Barb Dayton. Cooper had gender reassignment surgery in December 1969. In 1971 he pulled his buccaneering swipe dressed as a man and walked away as a woman. Bobby/Barb lived to the age of 76 and died of natural causes on February 20 2002
