Do you have your own "definitive" theory about what Cooper knew or didn't know regarding where he jumped?

There seems to be a consensus ( if we can call it that anyway) that Cooper didn't have a clear jumping plan while at the same time he had a good idea about the general area he jumped into. Is this theory self - contradictory or not?

Some questions. Do you buy into the theory that he wanted to jump ASAP and didn't care at all about the flight route? If so, does this mean he knew a lot about the area or did he just want to jump as soon as possible because in any case he would be close to where the plane took off and still be around some kind of "civilisation" and a populated area? How much evidence is there to support the theory that he jumped when he saw the lights of suburban Portland?

In the end do you believe he knew where he landed and what do you think about his plan ( or lack thereof)?
