While I was showering, I had an idea for a new Warehouse case. I call it "The Return of D.B. Cooper". Picture this: a plane flying through the air. A passenger calls the flight attendant over and whispers in her ear instructions that sound remarkably similar to those that D.B. Cooper gave so long ago. After receiving the money and having the same plane take off, it lands, but the man has disappeared. When Artie and Claudia get a ping, they look at the airport security footage and I.D. the man, who Artie recognizes as the infamous D.B. Cooper, though slightly younger than the man who highjacked the plane in 1971.

I had this idea that D.B. Cooper used an artifact, possibly Man Ray's Camera before it was collected by the Warehouse, to reduce his age to that of a younger version of himself. Over the years after his stunt, he became aware of the existence of artifacts (hence trusting that a camera could make him young again) and began considering pulling off the stunt again, but in a slightly different fashion. First off, the bomb used was an artifact bomb (though Cooper was aware that the "bomb" was a dud and would only explode with enough force to perhaps blow a seat apart). Secondly, when he requested the ransom money, he did not ask for a parachute. And lastly, after taking off again, he disappeared mid-flight through the use of a simple teleportation artifact. (I use the term simple to describe it because the artifact's teleportation abilities were not high-class as Rheticus' Compass was. It was more along the abilities of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
