Ugh… This is all based on Dan Gryder’s YouTube channel. He’s not exactly the most trustworthy person. His channel is full of criticisms of pilots that have died flying that basically amount to “the pilot was dumb” and then when he causes a nearly mutli-fatal accident in a Lockheed 12A because he forgot to lock the tail wheel before landing, he feuds with the YouTuber that pointed this out.
He constantly derides the FAA and government in general, stating they are incompetent. He has stolen aircraft accident investigation evidence from a crash scene, a violation of federal statute. There’s the defamation lawsuit he lost against a pilot in 2023 to the tune of $1 million. And he was arrested in 2009 at an airport in Georgia.
Dan Gryder is an attention seeker who will say anything to receive publicity.
However the siblings who claim it was their father seem to just have happened to run into Gryder. And the fact that McCoy was actually convicted of robbing a plane with a similar modus operandi to Cooper…
