HE SAID HIS INTEREST RESULTED FROM EARLY NEWS REPORTS THAT COOPER

MAY HAVE BEEN A PARATROOPER. ARMSTRONG ASKED POINTED QUESTIONS —

OF SA SUCH AS, HAD ANY LATENT PRINTS BEEN OBTAINED AND HE WAS

INTERESTED TO KNOW IF COOPER HAD, IN FACT, PARACHUTED INSTEAD

OF HIDING SOMEWHERE IN THE PLANE. ARMSTRONG ADMITTED THAT HE

HAD MADE 3G JUMPS WHILE IN THE U.S. PARATROOPERS SOME OF WHICH

WERE FROM PLANES FLYING 309 MILES PER HOUR. HE STATED THAT

ALTITUDE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO PROBLEM FOR ANY SKILLED PARACHUTIST.
ARMSTRONG MUST BE CONSIDERED A SUSPECT, UNTIL HE IS

ELIMINATED, BECAUSE OF HIS SIMILARITY TO THE COMPOSITE OF COOPER,

HIS U.S. PARATROOPER SERVICE, HIS ADMITTED USE OF DYNAMITE AND

HIS UNEMPLOYMENT AT THE TIME OF THE SKY JACKING, NOVEMBER 24, 1971.

MONTHLY SUMMARY

Re: Seattle airtel to the Bureau, 2/7/73.
SEARCH AREA AND COURSE

In attempt to determine the accuracy of the first
search area, the following was learned:

The first search area was calculated using a systen

"ef Plotting known as "GEOREF" (i.e. Geographical Reference)

which has a4 plotting error of plus or minus one mile. A new

plotting syster using a computer fenerated latitude and longi-

tude has a peottinc_arror_of pius or minuS 1/2 mile. Usin

the new syster, Northwest Orient Airlines , b6
plotted a new course for the Norjak airplane and a new seare b7c

area based on the new course. The new search area is partially
outside the first area.

It is felt that if Unsub's parachute opened, he is
no longer in the southwest Washington area, but if Hs parachute
did not open, he would be in a corridor along the flight path.
The time of jump is known, and an area approximately one mile
by seven miles represents the aréa Unsub. would havea landed in
if his parachute did not open. ao

Seattle Division is currentlf making arrangements to
search that portion of the above wi area not previously

searched.

WEEKLY SUMMARY

As the result of the Seattle file review
currently in progress, the followinre investigation has
been ainitiated:

On the premise that unsub parachuted
successfully into the previously calculated area of
southwest Washington, it is spectulated he would have
buried the money and his parachute and then hiked to
the marest road or highway. From there, he would most
probably have walked to the nearest phone booth and
called a friend or relative for the purpose of being
picked up.

Based on the above, all the pay phones
surrounding the calculated drop area within reasonable
walking distance, i.e., 15 miles, are being checked for
long distance phone calls made during the evenins of
11/24/71 and on the morpring of 11/25/72.

ae
-, In accordance with the request of the Seattle
Office 8/7/72, a color artist's conception was prepared
- and forwarded to the Seattle Office. To date the Bureau
has received no evaluation of this color sketch. Seattle'
"request for mats will not be further considered until the
'Bureau receives an evaluation by the witnesses of the
color sketch, .

'For the information of the Seattle Office,
commercial engravers charge $10 per 50 minutes plus an
'initial charge of $8 for a 4" x 5" plate, These mats will
only reproduce in black and white. Many publishers both
large and small presently use the offset printing process
which does not require a mat. .

The Seattle Office should Gromptiy) coordinate

review of the Bureau's color sketch f06rF e purpose of
evaluation, If it is deemed advisable that the mats

_ be prepared, resubmit your recommendation.

In order that this case be given more publicity,

the following leads are being set forth for Bureau
consideration and approval:

1. Mats should be made of the artist's conception
of Unsub so that small publications with limited
funds can feature articles concerning this matter

and include with the story a picture of Unsub

without incurring the additonal expense of having

new mats made (Note: - An editor of the Veterans'
of Foreign Wars publication for the State of
Oregon has requested such a mat to print a

Re Bureau airtel 5/17/72.

Pursuant to instructions contained in referenced
airtel, an extensive file review of captioned case was con~
ducted. Among the files reviewed were the main volumes,
numbered 1 through 47, sub-files designated for particular
areas of interest, i.@., Parachutes, Witnesses, Course, 1-A
volumes and numerous suspect files. In addition, an examina-~
tion was made of all physical evidence being maintained at
Seattle, for pertinent investigative leads. :

. As a result of this review, the following suggestions
are being proposed: . .
REWARD: This case has generated world-wide attenticn and

—_ many suspects have been suggested and are continuing
to be received, Worever, since nothing of value has yet been
developed, it is felt that the prospect of a substantial
reward for information leading to the identification and
conviction of this hijacker, might entice someone to come
forward and name the hijacker.

To be realistic, the reward would have to be
attractive to the person furnishing the information and
therefore, a sum of not less than $25,000 is recommended.

The reward money could be provided either hy the
Department of Justice, or 'by the airlines, or by both. The
only reward at the moment is $5,000, offered by the Seattle,
Washington newspaper SEATTLE Poct INTNMLLIGKHNCrR "Secret

Witness Program."

At approximately 2:30 Pll our time I talked to
Si. HEURY SCHUT2 from the Bureau.

SCHUTZ requested that I be sure to get word to you
that he expects to hear from you tonight to talk over the
search situation.

He also advised it will be necessary to get a
"good teletype off to the Bureau tonight relative to the
discontinuance of the search for the time being. This tele-
type should generally point out that the Army has withdrawn its
troops, that the search has been arduous and physically
exhausting and that the troops are being withdrawn primarily
to give them some rest; also in view of the approacning
holiday weekend. It should point out that agents have been
with the troops throughout the search and that the agents
involved also have undergone an arduous and tiring experience
and can use rest too. It should point out that UACB
agents from the nearby offices at least will be released to
return to their offices, and that either the same agents
or replacements for them will rejoin the search with the
Army troops at whatever time this resumption of the search
is established.

On 2/11/72 I talked to SAC WILLIAMS in Sacramento
about the Air Force photographing the area where the hijacker
is supposed to have landed. He advised that they endeavored to
take the pictures on 2/4/72 and again on 2/11/72 but due to
cloud cover were unable to obtain the photographs. They will
continue their efforts in this regard.

He advised that the photograph when devedoned will he
about 25 ft. long and requires special equipment to read it.
This is being done as a training mission at no cost to the
Bureau.

Re: UNKNOWN SUBJECT, aka Dan Cooper;
NORTHWEST AIRLINES FLIGHT #305,

11/24/71
CRIME ABOARD AIRCRAFT - HIJACKING;
EXTORTION

On November 24, 1971, an unknown man using the
name Dan Cooper, boarded Northwest Airlines Flight #305,
at Portland International Airport, Portland, Oregon, en-
route Seattle, Washington.

As the plane was taxiing down the runway,
Stewardess | joccupied the seat reserved
for the stewardesses on the right side of the plane and
behind the last row of passenger seats. The unknown
subject, who occupied the center seat in the last row of
three seats, turned and handed her an envelope which she
did not open for a few minutes until he glanced at her
several times. She then opened the envelope and read
the enclosed note which said: "Miss - I have a bomb here

and I would like you to sit by me." At this point Stewardess

jcame toward the rear_of the plane and

[handed[___]the note. [___]|then called the

pilot on the intercom.

on the
flight, later advised that according to notes he made
during the incident, the emergency signal from Stewardess

|was received on the intercom at 3:59 PM.

Stewardess | |then sat next to the hijacker
who opened a black attache case and showed her what he said
was a bomb. She described the contents of the attache case
as a bundle of red sticks, which she believed was dynamite.

The bundle consisted of six or eight red colored sticks

approximately six to eight inches long with no writing on the
outside. The hijacker was holding in his hand a wire which

led to the bundle of sticks and indicated that he could

detonate the bomb by touching the wire to a contact. Also in
the attache case was a cylindrical shaped battery about eight

inches long.

following to say:

1. The Director approved piblicity of the

2. He referred to a teletype of 12/ /71 from
Portland in regard to a person who was| |
| | He said it seemed to him
that Portland had set out a lot of unnecessary
investigation since the purpose of the thing was simply
to get a photo of the suspect and have it shown to
witnesses rather than getting all the background.

3. He wanted to know if we had considered
having a Northwest plane fly Agents over the exact course at
night so that we could look down and see just what the
situation was when the "bump" occurred at 8:10 or 8:12 PM.
I told him we had considered this and also had considered
hiring someone to parachute from the plane but the problem
was that there was no way of duplicating the conditions
which existed at the time. _He requested we put some type
of language in a teletype Hout Tnis.

NORJAK,

SEATTLE HAS CONDUCTED AN EXTENSIVE SEARCH OF WHAT WAS
CONSIDERED THE PRIME AREA INTO WHICH THE SUBJECT MIGHT HAVE
PARACHUTED, ALL WITH NEGATIVE RESULTS. THIS AREA WAS CONSIDERED
PRIME DUE TO CALCULATIONS BY NORTHWEST AIRLINES OF THEIR FLIGHT
RECORDER AND OTHER INSTRUMENTS ABOARD THE PLANE PLUS THE
| EXPERIENCING OF AN QUOTE OSCILLATION UNQUOTE BY PILOT.
NORTHWEST AIRLINES HAS OFFERED TO SIMULATE THE SAME
CONDITIONS OF THE AIRCRAFT AS PREVAILED DURING THE HIJACK AND
WILL FLY OVER THE SAME COURSE FROM SEATTLE TO RENO. THEY ARE
ANXIOUS TO DETERMINE IF THE CONCLUSIONS THEY HAVE REACHED ARE,
IN FACT, CORRECT AND THE ONLY WAY THEY CAN DETERMINE THIS IS TO
HAVE A RERUN OF THE ACTUAL CONDITIONS.

SEATTLE WILL ARRANGE, THROUGH THE MINNEAPOLIS OFFICE, FOR
NORTHWEST TO DO THIS AT SUCH TIME AS NORTHWEST CAN DO SO.

BASED ON THE FINDINGS OF THE ABOVE DESCRIBED FLIGHT,
SEATTLE WILL MAKE A JUDGMENT AS TO WHETHER OR NOT ADDITIONAL
SEARCHING SHOULD BE CONDUCTED OVER THE PRIME SEARCH AREA OR IF

Reference Seattle letter to Minneapolis dated
5/23/79.

Enclosed for Seattle are the original and two
copies of an FD-302 reflecting interview with
|of Northwest Orient Airlines and an
airplane decal which was enclosed in referenced letter
for Minneapolis.

On 7/19/79,| | advised that
the probability that this decal came from the same aircraft
hijacked by COOPER is about ninety-nine per cent. He noted
that there is a slight difference in the color of the
lettering of the decals placed on the aircraft and that
recovered. This, of course, could be accounted for by the
weather conditions. The second thing noted by| |
is that the decal does not appear to be as worn as one
would think after having been located in the out state
area for the past eight years. He thought that a decal in
this condition would_have been handied by preditors more
than it appears. suggested that perhaps the
Bureau could contact the manufacturer of the decal in order
to determine if the decal could withstand the weathering
conditions and still be in this condition.

See related story, Page 11.
By COLUMBIAN STAFF, AP

An FBI agent here said this
morning that the piece of plastic
decat found by a Kelso hunter last
November could have dropped from
any Boeing 727, not necessarily the
one hijacker D. B Cooper bailed out of
Thanksgiving eve 1971.

John Gordon. of the bureau's
Vaneouver office said, '""There is no
positive proof that the decal came
from the Cooper plane."

An FBI spokesman in Seattle,
speculated Thursday that the decal
may have fallen off the Cooper plane
when the craft was used for a re-
enactment of the hijacking six weeks
after it occurred.

"We noticed the decal was missing

after that, but not before,'' the
; spokesman said.
A spokesman added that the
\placards, used to give emergency
|direefions for the rear door on 727s,
have been known to fall off under
normal conditions.

| No hunt set |
for skyjacker

Earlier this week Cowlitz County _about 12 miles east of Kelso. a,

tg
'

Sheriff Les Nelson disclosed the
discovery of the decal last November
by Carroll Hicks, a self-employed
welder from Kelso who was elk
hunting when he found the bit of
debris.

"It's one ina million that any other
plane could have lost it in the area in
which D.B. Cooper jumped," Nelson
said,

But while the 10-inch square decal
has stirred wide interest, Gordon
expressed doubt it would help solve
the mystery behind the case.

"It's interesting, but I don't think it
will help us find Cooper," he said of
the decal. .

Gordon said the FBI has no plans to
resume the search for Cooper and the
$200,000 that left the airplane with
him.

Cowlitz County ° officials have
indicated they do not plan to search
for, Cooper, either, but they did say
they hope to encourage people tee

"keep their eyes open," when they
are in the area the decal was found

He heard on the news that a plastic decal, possibly
from D. B. COOPER's plane, was found in the Castle Rock,
Washington, area recently. He recalled that in October,
1978, he was hunting in that general area and saw in a tall
tree something flapping. The area he was in was north of
Toutle Park. This item he saw in the tree was light in
color and he feels, perhaps, that might have been a parachute,
possibly the one used by COOPER. He did indicate, however,
this thing he saw could have been a weather parachute and
could have been there in his previous trips to that area,
although he has not seen it before. He does not know if
this information will be of any assistance to the FBI, but
in the event the FBI desires to find the exact location of
this item, he and his cousin are willing to escort the FBI
into the area and point out the article, if they can find
it, to the FBI.

The above is for information purposes.

SUMMARY

This report presents the results of tests conducted on the Model 727
airplane to evaluate the characteristics of the aft airstair when
extended inflight and the associated effects on airplane performance
and hendling. The sirstair was extended both by allowing it to free-
fall and by utilizing normal hydraulic power. These extensions were .
made with the airplane trimmed for level flight at 125 knots and flaps
at 25 degrees. The sirsteair extended a nominal 8.5 degrees when allowed
to free-fall and it required only approximately one-tenth unit of
nose-down trim to compensate for the stair, The stair extended a
noninel 13.5 degrees with hydraulic power and this caused approxi-
mately a three-tenths unit nose-down trim change. The airplane was
also accelerated to Vyo with flaps up and the airstair free-floating.
The airstair was quite stable when it was down and no airplane control
problems were experienced. No excessive cebin pressure trensients
were noted with the aft entry door open and the stair extended") ie
environment near the aft entry door allowed it to be safely opene

and the stair retracted at speeds up to 300 knots.] A&_300 knots, i%
was also found that the airstair would not free-fall when uniatched.

INTRODUCTION

Reference (a) specified that the aft airstairs should be released in flight
and allowed to free-fall without utilizing hydraulic power, simulating an
in-flight failure of the airstaiy up=-latch. In addition, it also specified
that the airstair should be extended by utilizing normal hydraulic power.
The aerodynamic characteristics of the extended airstair and the associated
effects on airplane performance and handling were also to be evaluated at
speeds up to Vue

The initial evaluation was conducted on Test 100-1, with most of the produc-
tion airstair cavity panels removed. They were removed to avoid the possi-
bility of panel failure causing damage to wiring and tubing in the area, in
the event large pressure differentials should occur. Testing was done with
flaps at 25 degrees and a nominal airspeed of 125 lmots, with the airstair
allowed to free-fall and also extended with hydraulic power. In addition,
with the aft airstair free-floating, the flaps were retracted and the air-
plane was accelerated to Vige The testing was repeated'on Test 100-3 with
all the production airstair cavity panels installed, with the exception
that no hydraulic airstair extension was attempted. In addition, two un~
successful attempts were made to release the airstair and allow it to free-
fail at an approximate airspeed of 300 knots.

Both tests were conducted from Boeing Field, Seattle, on Airplane N72700.

Boeing pilots, (ir. J. WaddelP anddir. S. L. Wallick, conducted Test 100-1, b6

with Boeing Test Engineer, Gir. R. F. Brown, operating the aft airstair. b7c

Test 100-3 was conducted by Boeing pilots, Mr. J. Waddejl and]
[___] with Boeing Test Engineer, Mr. C. M. Clark, operating the airstair.

CONFIGURATION

Model 727-22, Airplane N72700, was in production configuration as detailed
in Reference (b) except for the removal of the production airstair cavity
panels during Test 100-1 and the removal of the airstair spring-loaded latch
stop during both tests. In addition, FC 751-1-1 was incorporated on the
airplane for both tests. This FC provided a cable to restrain the airstair

723 maxim _extension of 25 degrees and thus prevent airstair damage during
nding in the event the stair could not be retracted in flight.

The airplane cabin was depressurized during both tests, with the ram air
valve closed, both air conditioning packs off, and the manual pressure con-
troller in full decrease pressure.

INSTRUMENTATION AND DATA REDUCTION

A Pulse Duration Modulation (PDM) magnetic tape system and a photorecorder
were used to record performance and calibrated data. Airspeed and altitude
were measured using the pilots' production pitot+static system. The aft
airstair was instrumented to measure position in degrees from the up and
locked position. The static pressure in Section 48 was measured by a pick-up
that was located on the LH side of the airplane, outboard of the IH cavity |
side panels. Airplane cabin pressure and rate of climb were recorded on the

photorecorder. Instrumentation calibrations and configurations will be
found in Reference (e). White tufts vere installed on the aft airstair
and adjacent bulkheads and some photographs of tuft activity were taken
during Test 100-1 (Pages 7 through 7 ).

The PIM magnetic tape data were reduced by the IBM 7090 computer using
the Basic Airplane (BA), Engine Performance (EP), and Calibrated Date
(Calib.) programs. The procedures are outlined in Reference (f). The
computer output data are filed in Reference (c). Fhotorecorder data

were manually reduced and the tabulated results are filed in this report. .
(Pages /3 through 23).

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

The eft airstair control system was in production configuration for both
fest 100-1 and 100-3, except for removal of the spring-loaded latch stop-
The letch stop was removed to permit moving the control handle to the UP
position with the airstair down, thus simulating a condition which could
exist if the up-elatch failed inflight. With the airstair down and the
control handle in the UP position, both the UP and DOWN side of the stair
actuator are connected to the system return line through the control valve,
allowing the eirstair to free-float. The control handle was in the UP
position during all test conditions, except for stair extension and ~
retraction and the stair extension utilizing hydraulic power.

The sequence during Test 100-1 (Reference (d)) started with the airplane
trimmed for level flight at 10,000 feet altitude and 125 knots airspeed,
flaps at 25 degrees, cabin dépressurized, and the airstalr up and locked.
With the operator wearing a parachute and secured bya restraining strap,
the aft entry door was opened. No difficulty was experienced in opening
the eft entry door and the operator then moved the upper control handle to
the DOWN position without depressing the handle trigger. Thus, the air-
stai? was unlocked and allowed to free-fall. After the stair started to
extend, the control handle was moved to the UP position and the stsir was
slliowed to free-float. No noticeable out-rush of cabin air was experienced
when the stair extended and only a one-tenth unit nose-down trim change was
required to counteract the airstair floating down approximately 8.5 degrees.
The aft entry door was allowed to remain open and a photograph of tuft
activity was teken after the airplane stabilized on this condition (Page 7 ).
The tuft picture appears to indicate some airflow into the cabin.

With the flaps still at 25 degrees and at approximately-125 knots airspeed,
the airstair was successfully retracted and the upleatch secured by moving
the control handle from the UP to the RETRACT position, depressing the
handle trigger, and moving the handle back to the UP position after the
airstair was fully retracted. The next condition involved extending the
stair utilizing hydraulic power. The control handle was moved from the UP
to the DOWN position with the handle trigger depressed. With hydraulic

pressure on the DOWN side of the actuator, the airstair initially
extended to approximately 14 degrees and then retracted slightly,
probably because of compression of the lower struts. Three~tenths

of a unit nose down trim change was required with the airetair in this
position, but no control problems were experienced (Reference tabulation
on Page /O). 'The aft entry door was open throughout this condition and
another picture of tuft activity was taken (Page @). This picture is
not as clear as the first because the flash bulb failed to operate.

Following this, the control handle vas returned to the UP position,
allowing the airstair to free-float, and the aft entry door was closed.
Tae flaps were then retracted to zero and the sirplane retrimmed at
approximately 200 knots sirspeed and 10,000 feet altitude. Engine power
was then increased to MCT and the airplane was accelerated to Vuo, ree
trimming each time the stick force reached approximately 20 to 30 pounds.
The free-floating stair oscillated a maximum of 1.5 degrees during the
acceleration, but no extreme bouncing was observed (Reference plot on
Page // ). No control problems were experienced during the acceleration,
and the airstair slowly retracted ag the airspeed increased. Another
picture of tuft activity et Vyo was teken through the aft entry door
window (Page ¥ ). Although the field of view is quite restricted,

agoin the tufts appear to indicate some airflow into the cavity. This
inflow of air was also noticed when the aft entry door was unlatched

at Vao and some inflow of air was noted around the door seals. 'The

door was again latched and the airplane decelerated to approximately

260 knots airspeed, at which time the aft entry door was easily opened,
the aft airstair was again successfully retracted and latched, and the
entry door closed.

The procedure during Test 100-3 was the ssme as Test 100-1, except that
the airstair was not extended using hydraulic pressure. In addition,
the airplane was being continually retrimmed during the acceleration to
Vao, making it easier to hold a nearly constant altitude (Reference plot
on Page /2). An additional condition was also conducted during this
test: namely, two attempts were made to unlock the airstair and allow
it to free-fall at an airspeed of approximately 300 knots. This condition -
wag done after accelerating to Vago with the stair down. The eft entry
door was easily opened at this airspeed, again noting @ slight inflow of

_ air into the cabin. 'The airstair was successfully retracted with hydraulic
pover and the control handle moved to the UP position to lock the stair.
Following this, the handle was moved to the DOWN position, without
depressing the handle trigger, to permit the stair to free-fall. Although
the uplock was visually observed to rotate and release the stair and the
pilot reported that the warning light in the control cabin indicated the
stair was unlocked, the air load prevented the stair from extending. A
second attempt was made at this airspeed, after first returning the
control handle to the UP position and then positioning it to DOWN. 'The
same results were obtained. The test was concluded by again closing snd

latching the aft entry door at the airspeed of approximately 300 knots.
No, further pictures of tuft activity were taken on this test. Since
no large pressure surges had been recorded in the cavity during Test
100-1, all of the production airstair cavity panels were installed
during Test 100-3. No panel movement or oil-canning was noticed during
the test, and no panel failures were noted after landing.

CONCLUSIONS

Ne unusual control or handling problems should be experienced if the

aft airstair should accidentally extend inflight. In fact, from the
results obtained during Test 100-3, if the up-latch failed at normal
cruise speed, the aft airstair would probably not extend until the airplane
slowed down to some airspeed below 300 knots. 'The control handle would be
expected to remain in its normal UP position, because the detent provides
& positive stop. Thus, the first indication of latch failure would occur
when the airstair extended far enough to operate the stair warning light
microswitch located at the eft end of the cavity. Since the airstair
might contact the runway as the airspeed decreased after landing, the

aft entry door could be opened and an operator could safety initiate

stair retraction. Provided there was no structural interference from

a failed roller or up-latch, the airstair should retract. However, it
weuld be necessary to hold the control handle in the RETRACT position

ang keep the trigger depressed, Lecause the system is depressurized vhen
the control handle is in the UP position.

S- LEWIS WALLICK, a Test Pilot employed by: The
Boeing Company, Seattle, Washington, telephone 655~4031,
furnished the following' information:

He was the Chief Test Pilot on the noni 7 727
project and he conducted the flight testing of this aireraft,

On several occasions during this testing he
intentionally lowered the rear stairs under the tail of the
aircraft while in flight: The effect of lowering these stairs
in flight was hardly noticeable on the controls and the only
positive indication ha had that the stairs were lowered was —
the lighting of an indicator light on the instrument panel,
The stairs were lowered at a spsed of 150 knots, While the
Stairs were lowered the plane remained in the same attitude,
There was no yawing or pitching, Se

ra He furnished the following opinions in connection
* with the question of whether or not a pilot would feel in his
controls a sudden loss of weight of approximately 180 pounds
_from the tail of a 7272 He advised that if the pilot were
flying the aircraft manually and if the air were calm, he would
feel a sudden loss of 180 pounds weight from the tail of the
aircraft} He explained that the loss of this weight would move
.the center of gravity toward the front of the airplane and while
this movement would be slight, it could be felt in the wheel by
the pilot; He stated, however, that if the air were turbulent,
it is doubtful that the pilot would feel this sudden less of
° weight; He indicated also that if the plane were being flown
o auto~pilot the loss of this weight would not be felt by the
pilot,
He advised that if the rear stairs on 2 727 is
-lowered in flight at an altitude of less than 10,000 feet a
.change in pressurization occurs and this could be felt by the
crew if the door leading into the cockpit is open; If the
cockpit docr were closed, it is doubtful that the crew would
experience the change in' pressurization 3

information concerning the events prior to the hijacking of
Northwest Flight 305 from Portland, Oregon, to Seattle,
Washington, on November 24, 1971: *

He was on duty | | for Flight 305
on November 24, 1971. He could not recognize any of the
passengers by name, as he handles on a daily basis thousands
of nemes. However, he remembers one particular individual who
stood out in his mind. [It was raining at the airport that date
and all the passengers were making comments and jokingly stating
they were going to have to run through a great deal of rain in
order to beard Flight 305 to Seattle. The only individual who
was not mixing with other passengers and joking about the rain
was a man whom he described as a white male, age 50, height
6'1" plus, 175 to 180 lbs., slender build, with black wavy hair,
smartly dressed, wearing a black rainceat "and carrying a black
attache case, .

' [sd stated he has a habit of noticing 'individuals
dressed in black and this was the reasoh"he remembers the above-
described individual. The man described | above had a "blah"
attitude and was quite unaffected by the inclement weather
conditions prevailing at the time,, which noticeably bothered
the rest of the passengers.

| | is not sure whether he would recognize the
individual described above if he were to see him again.

EARL J. COSSEY, 349 North 10lst, Seattle, telephone
SU3~0475, appeared at the Seattle Office at which time he
furnished the following information:

He is a master parachute rigger and jump instructor
at Seattle Sky Sports, Issaquah, Washington, telephone
EX2~-3050.,

In May, 1971,| |} Washington,
| |} and needed two parachutes. COSSEY
packed two parachutes which were furnished to[____lon
or about May [_], 1971. He described these parachutes as
back packs, commonly referred to as "emergency" parachutes.
He also packed..the two chest pack parachutes which were
furnished to Northwest Airlines on November 24, 1971.

The two parachutes recovered from the Northwest
Airlines flight 305 at Reno, Nevada, on November 24, 1971,
were described in detail to Mr. COSSEY at which time he
described the missing back pack parachute as having a sage
green nylon container, model NB6 (Navy Back pack 6) with
sage green nylon harness, which harness has no "D" rings
to mount a chest pack. The parachute is a 28 foot nylon
white flat circular with a specially fitted foam padded
cushion. The pilot chute is also white.

Mr. COSSEY said that the missing chest pack para-
chute is a ground training pack dummied up to look like a
good one. He said that by ""dummied up" he means that tie
downs were attached to the container. This chest pack
was devised by COSSEY to teach trainees while hung in a
harness how to open the chest pack in the event of an
emergency. The folds of the parachute are sewen together
to preclude the parachute opening in the training room.
Mr. COSSEY said that the back packs furnished the hijacker
did not have the necessary hooks on the harness to attach
a chest pack.

Mr. COSSEY said that if the hijacker opened one
of the chest packs on the airplane he probably would
remove the parachute and put the money in the chest pack

a,

as it would be impossible to hold anything in his hand
when the parachute opened. Mr. COSSEY said it would
be quite possible to parachute from a 727 jet if the jet
was below 10,000 feet and flying at a very slow rate of
speed. The person jumping from the plane would have to
free fall to earth for several thousand feet to slow
himself down and get himself in position for the back
pack to open. Even an experienced parachutist would
experience considerable shock from the chute opening,
however, this would cause little or no personal injury.
He said that anyone who had six or seven practice jumps
could accomplish this as the first five jumps would be
on a static line and the subsequent jumps would be free
fall. —_
He said that, jumping at night materially increases

the chance of injury and in this case he would consider
' the parachutists chances of not being injured as ""nill."
Mr. COSSEY said the back pack used by the hijacker is
non-steerable and he would have no chance of slowing down
or picking the spot on which to land. Also at night he
would be unable to gauge his distance to the ground which
would result in a much harder'impact. It was his opinion
the skyjacker would suffer severe ankle and or leg injuries
from this jump. ;

Mr. COSSEY said that the fact the hijacker wore
street shoes would also increase the chance that he would
be injured on landing as the most experienced jumpers
wear jump boots or some rigid ankle support.

Mr. COSSEY expressed the opinion that the pilot.

of the jet would notice some oscillation when the hijacker
departed the rear of the aircraft.

worth of notes, the Federal Bureau of Investigation should only

be concerned with the $20 bills, that is the serial numbers of
