Claimed by the McCoy family and Gryder to be the Flight 305 parachute. The FBI has published nothing about its examination and told the family it could draw no conclusion. No comparison with the 1971 parachute records has been published. Chanté McCoy wore the rig at an aviation summit in January 2026.
