The unsub, as Dan Cooper, at 2 p.m., PST, | ;
11/24/71, parchased a one-way coach ticket at the Portiand
National Airport, Portland, Gregon, for travel from Portland
to Seattle, Washington, on Nerthwest Oriont Airlines Flight
number 305, which was a Boeing 727 aircraft. Unsub paid for
this flight with a twenty dollar bill and had no luggage.
He occupied seat number 18E on the aircraft and prior to the
time the aircraft taxied on the runway, he purchased a
and 7. with a twenty dollar bili from Stewardess
fhe aircraft left Portiand at 2:59 p.m., b6

PST, however, after it taxied toward the runway for takeoff, b7c

 unsub turned and handed Stewardess an envelope

containing a note written im black felt-tip pen and which
was on plain white unlined paper and writt t, legible
handwriting. This note inforned Stevardess that
he had a bomb and instructed her te sit next to hia. :

Re: NORJAK

of the aircraft passengers ,| |, believed

unsub was 2 Mexican-American. She had a short encounter

with the unsub prior to hor deplaning at. Seattle, at which
time she said unsub did not appear to knew exactly where he
wanted to go after he left Seattle, but spoke of Mexico City,
Phoenix, and San Francisco. Stewardess] | then
acted as a communications media between the unsub and the
gaptain of the aircraft until about five minutes after the
aireraft departed the Seattle-Tacoma National Airpert (Sea-Tac)
when she was instructed te go te the cockpit by the unsub.

The aircraft landed at Sea-Tac at 5:46 p.m., PST,
at which time $200,000 in twenty dollar bills, weighing
18 pounds, two back chutes, and two chest chutes were made.
_ available to hin. @ngers then were allowed to deplans
as were Stewardess and another stewardess. This is
normally a thirty-six minute flight.

me Shortly prior to the aireraft taking off from
_Bea~Tac at 7:36 p.m., PST, the unsub informed Stewardess
Leer that they were going te Moxico City or someplace
in Mexice and that the aircraft could stop anywhere in Mexico
to refuel, but nowhere in the United States. When unsub was
informed that the fuel would not permit the aircraft going to
Mexico, unsub compromised and said he would prefer a refucling
'Janding in Reno, Nevada. The last communication had with the
unsub was by interphone at 8:05 p.m., PST, and it was felt
that the umsub deplaned from the aircraft at 8:12 p.m. The
adrcraft landed at Reno, Nevada, at 11:95 p.m., P&T, An
extensive ground s¢arch of the aréa where it was believed
the unsub exited the aircraft has proved negative.

Whon the aircraft landed at Reno, Nevada, a —
chest pack chute and a back<-type chute were found on the
plane. The missing ches? back chute is a training pack

' tdummied up" te look Like a good one. The missing back
pack chute, sometimes referred to as an omergency chute, is
non-steerable and anyone utilizing this type chute would
have no chance of slewing down or picking his spot on which
to land, ,

. Also located in seat 188 of the aircraft at
Rene, Nevada, was a black clip-on-tio which contained a tie
clasp described as yellow gold in color with a white pearl
circular stone in the center. The label in the tie bore the

'this tie shoved it to be a "Snapper" patent type tie. Investi-
gation at Las Vegas indicated that this type sold for ahout

& dollar and a half, that it was about a year to a year and

a half old, and if was a favorite item for indiv h

said that this tie was probably the unsub's and witnesses

During the period stewardess[___—_—i| was with the
unsub and in her conversations withhin she related what appeared
fo ee keen observations concerning hin, and which are as
foilows; : :

t) He impressed her ag being an exccutive because of his
dress, special mannériems, and consideration that he exhibited
for her while on the aircraft.

2) In one of the conversations she had with hin, she re-
marked that the parachutes were coming from McChord Air Force
Baee at vhich ¢ine he remarked that. it was only about tventy
'minutes from McChord to the Seattle~Tacoma airport and which
was apparently an accurate ostimate. .

3) While the aircraft was itp a holding pattern and prior

to ite landing at Sea-Tac, the unsub looked out of the window
and renarked, "We are over Tacoma now," although no mention
ef thie had been madecover the interphone of the aircraft.

4) He displayed an extensive and technical knowledge of

this aircraft and seemed particularly well informed as to

the refueling procedures and flying in general. He apparently

e of where the oxygen bottles wore and Stewardess

af feit this information was normally known only by
crew personnel, The enly function of the aircraft that

he did not appear to bo fully aware ef was the procedures

jnvelved in the opening of the reax door and the extending

of the stairway. He likewise appeared to be completely

faniliar with the parachutes that had been furnished to hin.

1). "Contact professional placement agencies, counselors as well

Reference Seattle airtel to the Bureau dated
8/7/72.

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
picture of Unsub in his next issue),

2. If the artist's conception of Unsub is changed
as suggested in referenced airtel, mats of the
new picture should also be made.

Dear Sirs:

On 8-19-72 while hiking alone in the hills

in southern washington, I stumbled on

a white male, abouy | 5'8"" and about 180 lbs.
He was neet appearing, carying a pack and armed.

A very brief conversation pluss additional observations
made it clear he had been living in the mountains in

In mentioning the meeting to friends someone
suggested he might be the lost skyjacker that was
never found. If he is he should be brought to justice,
but if it is just some character who wants to get out

of the rat race I think he should be left alone.
If you need additional information contact

RE: ARTIST'S CONCEPTION

Enclosed is a copy of photo KK5-1 in the Facial
Lines Section of the Facial Identification Catalogue, and &
. copy of the artist's composite of UNSUB.

. The following information is being submitted for
_ Bureau review, and the enclosed leads are being set forth
on an UACB basis:

On 12/2/71, a key witness,| l, b6

insisted that the artist's conception was not a good likeness b7¢c
_of the hijacker. She requested permission to examine the

Facial Identification Catalogue and immediately picked out

photograph KK5-1 in the Facial Lines Section stating, "that

is him, except for the ears and hair." She explained that the

person depicted in that particular photograph resembled .

the man; however, the ears of tha hijacker did not protrude

as far from the head and she felt that the hair line should

be somewhat lower than that on the man depicted on photo

KK5~1. She was very adamant in her insistence that the

artist's conception shown to her was not a good likeness

of the hijacker. . ~

A comparison of the artist! s composite .of UNSUB
and photo KK5-1 revealed the primary difference between the
two photos is UNSUB's composite appears to be a man much
_ younger than the man depicted in photo KK5~1, The man in
KK5-1L appears to be in his mid-40s while the composite shows |

the man in his late 20s or early 30s. | a cH eat

the man depicted in artist's composite appears younger than
UNSUB actually is. Stewardess nm 11/25/71,
advised the man depicted in artist's composite ts "too young."

To date 475 suspects have heen developed based on
appearance, as well as other features. Many of the suspects

were developed because of their resemblance to the artist's
composite of UNSUB. A great number of these suspects have

turned out to be in their 20a or early 30s, with light or.

fair complexion. According to witnesses, UNSUB's age is in

the mid-49s and his complexion is olive or Latin in appearance, .

The FBI Laboratory will provide information to

tt is further noted that this hair is being held by the
Las Vegas Division as evidence, If the exact color of the
hair was not determined in the initial Laboratory

Post Office Box 709
Porttand, Oregon 97207

October 3, 1972

Mr. Donald W. Beil

Special Agent in Charge
United States Secret Service
P, O, Box 1203

Portland, Oregon

Yoar Sir:

On September 15, 1972, | _ | Pirst bé6
National Bank of Oregon, Coos Bay Branch, Coos Bay, Oregon, b7C
exhibited to Special Agent LeRoy R. Elliott of our office, a
$20.00 Federal Reserve Note, which on close analysis was found
to be segments of four different $20.00 notes scotch taped
together on tne back side. The purpose in this would appear
to be to change the serial number as each segment contains only
one-half of the original serial number.

The deception is easily noted on examination, because
the two serial numbers appearing on the face of tho bill, one
on the lower left, the other in the upper right corner, are
not identical,

Attached is a penciled sketch made of the bill,
which| advised he would retain and make available b6
to your office. b7c

Very truly yours,

J. L, MATTSON

Special Agent in Charge
NOTE: The beginning halves of the two serial numbers were
searched through the "D,B, COOPER" bills and it was determined
that no bill on the "D,B,COOPER" list commenced with either
of these beginning halves.

information on the above captioned matter. He advised that on
12/8/72, while riding a trailbike in the hills west of Scappose,
he had observed what appeared to be a white parachute in a remote
canyon area. Due to the rugged terrain in the area, he was unable
to get closer. On 12/10/72 returned to the area with
this time equipped with field glasses. They were able
to verify the object as being a parachute.

Case agent HIMMELSBACH was advised of the above infor-
mation this date. He stated that in view of the hijacked plane's
course, and the prevailing winds at the time, it would have been
impossible for the Subject to have Landed west of Scappose,.
HIMMELSBACH stated he would immediately notify the FAA and the
Oregon State Board of Aeronautics in regards this information,

A release of an interim composite (one that had not been

Leads concerning suspects will not ke set forth
in this report as they are being handled by separate con-
munication.

There are currently 637 suspects, 470 of whom have
been eliminated, New suspects are being developed and
systematic elimination of these suspects continues,

In an effort to facilitate interoffice communi-
cations, it is requested that ail field offices originating
NORJAK communications, not only refer to the appropriate
communications but also include the suspect(s) name and
alias€es) if known on the first page under the title NORJAK.

For the information of all field offices, the
Bureau advised by airtel September 15, 1972, that this is
the only aircraft hijacking in which the subject has not
been identified and apprehended nor the ransom money
recovered, All leads in this important case are to he
set forth expeditiously. The investigation of this case
is to be vigorously pursued in ai] facets in order to bring
it to a successful completion,

It is noted that the investigative period overlaps
previous NORJAK reports, This has been done since previous
reports were not distributed to all field offices,

It is noted that Unsub in this matter is almost
universally called "BD, B, COOPER" by the press, the public,
and even by Bureau personnel, Factually, there is no basis
for this alias. As a possible explanation for the existence
of the alias "D, B, COOPER" the following sequence of
events is offered:

While the hijacking was in progress on the evening
of November 24, 1971, it was established that al |
had boarded the flight at Portland, but was not among the
passengers who deplaned at Seattle,

As a result, the name} |lwas checked
through the Buresgu indices, which revealed an Identification

INVESTIGATIVE STEPS TO PROCESS NORJAK SUSPECTS

In checking on suspect| that
evening, the Portland Division advised that he definitely
had been eliminated, A police officer of The Delles, Oregon
Police Department, visited him_in The Dalles, and definitely
identified him as the above | | and the
fact was noted that he could not have been on the plane since
he was at The Dailes,

There was no FBI release to the press concerning
the above suspect, but the press coverage in Oregon, and in
the State of Washington was so intense, it may have become
known to the press, that the above| | was
contacted by a police officer,

It is suggested that the fact that the name "D,B,
COOPER" is not involved in this matter not be given publicity
outside the Bureau in order to utilize this fact as an aid
in the initial evaluation of new leads,

INVESTIGATIVE STEPS TO PROCESS NORJAK SUSPECTS

This list in no way represents all the means avail-
able to process a suspect. Each individual case prompts a
different method; one or more of the below listed methods
have been used in the past.

1. Obtain current descriptive data (particularly
useful is age, height and complexion)

2. Ascertain location on November 24, 1971, by
(a) checking employment records.

(b) checking cancelled checks or credit card
transactions.

(ce) interviewing acquaintances or relatives
(note November 24th was the day before
Thanksgiving, 1971).

3. <Ascertain present location to determine if he
is alive or if he appears to be in hiding.

eyewitnesses have been repeatedly contacted
and have reviewed numerous photographs. Up
to now they have been extremely cooperative,

not withstanding the many contacts they have endured both at
work and at home. Based on the above, these witnesses will

PROFILE

The purpose of the following information is to
conveniently list all the known facts concerning the hi-
jacker's profile and to combine them with suppositions that
can be reasonably inferred from those facts. The suppositions
have been included to aid in processing a suspect. They
should not be considered as conerete facts, nor should they
be used as the sole determining factor in drawing investi-
gative conclusions.

SUMMARY

Unsub was a well spoken, conservative gentleman;
probably a Catholic with Mexican or Indian blood. He was
not an alcoholic. He probably lived in the Portland or
Seattle areas or had flown more than once over these areas.
He apparently had no accomplices. He was not an experienced
skydiver and most probably received his jump training in
the military. His hijacking plan was not well thought out,
and he was probably not an experienced criminal. He was
apparently having financial troubles prior to November,
1971, and he may have previously worked in an airline-
related indus try.

The reasons for the above suppositions are in-~
cluded below.

BACKGROUND

It is felt Unsub was not an experienced criminal
because of his mannerism exhibited after he received the
ransom money. Unsub reportedly became somewhat childish
in his actions and comments while counting the money.

Unsub was familiar with the Seattle area, as
indicated by his comments concerning the plane's location
as it flew over Tacoma, Washington. In addition, Unsub
made a comment as to the distance McChord Air Force Base
was in relation to Sea-Tac Airport. Unsub reportedly
indicated McChord was approximately 20 minutes from
Sea-Tac, which is essentially correct.

-F-
COVER PAGE

DB Cooper-42659

==== Part 95 · PDF page 253 · Bates DB Cooper-DB Cooper-42660 ====
SE 164-~81

Unsub stated he was hijacking the aircraft
because of a grudge. He may have had a relative, possibly
a son, killed in Vietnam or he may have had recent finan-
cial problems which would foster such a grudge.

Unsub's complexion has been described as swarthy
or dark. The grudge may be associated with his backrround
which could possibly be Indian, Mexican or possibly
ppialtan—descent Note unsub has been described by witness b6
as definitely having some Mexican or Indian bIC
"blood" in him. b7D

It is noted the northwest area at the time of the
hijacking was suffering from a depressed economic condition,
and since Unsub was familiar with the Seattle area as in-
dicated above, it is possible Unsub was out of work at the
time of NORJAK. In addition, Unsub demonstrated considerable
knowledge of aircraft and of flying, and it is felt he was
employed in the aircraft industry, either civilian or
military at one time in his life, therefore, it is logical
to assume unsub may possibly have been out of work in an
airlines-related industry.

His actions and reactions that occurred throughout
the hijacking indicate unsub probably was not a desperate
man, nor was he mentally ill such as a paranoid type. Unsub
exhibited an unusually calm manner throughout the whole
hijacking.

Unsub was probably a "loner" and carried out the
hijacking by himself, with no partners. Throughout the
hijacking, he exhibited a competency in reacting to various
situations that arose. It is believed that Unsub was not
an experienced criminal, but a victim of circumstances.

Unsub's physical build and his handiness with the
parachute shroud lines indicates coordination and some
physical ability as will as inventiveness. (It is noted
that during the hijacking unsub requested a knapsack to put
the money in and he received a small white bag instead.
Unsub took a small pocket knife from his person and
fashioned a means to attach the small bag to his body using
parachute lines from an unused parachute. Since it is

-~@-
COVER PAGE

==== Part 95 · PDF page 254 · Bates DB Cooper-DB Cooper-42661 ====
SE 164-81

believed unsub was not well prepared for the hijacking and
had not thoroughly thought the hijacking out, he most pro-
bably always carries a small pocket knife with him.

The following information tends to indicate unsub
was somewhat conservative in his thinking and dress:

1. Short style hair
2. Age mid 40's

3. Dark colored suit, dark colored raincoat,
white shirt, narrow black tie.

4%, Unsub did not swear and showed a great deal
of respect for the stewardesses on the
airline because they were women. (Unsub
engaged in a small argument with one of the
passengers, as well as experiencing extremely
tense and nervous situations, and through it
all he never used profane language - this
might indicate he is possibly a religious
man. Sinee he did drink, and since he is
possibly religious, he probably is not a
Baptist or Mormon. }

The following information tends to indicate Unsub
possibily possessed athletic ability:

1. His physical build was described as average
to well built, even though his age was
described as in his mid-40's.

2. Unsub exhibited some physical dexterity using
his hands and a small knife.

3. Unsub apparently parachuted from an aircraft
at night; something that would require no
small degree of physical ability.

Tt is felt unsub possibly maintains his physical
well being through regular exercise.

The following information tends to indicate the
Unsub was a gentleman:

lL. He offered to tip the stewardesses on the
NORJAK flight after he received his ransom
money. He did not offer them ransom money
as the tip, but used his own money.

2. During the entire hijacking he did not use
profane Language.

3. Throughout the hijacking he maintained a calm
demeanor and spoke low and intelligently.

The following information tends to indicate
Unsub lived in the northwest area at some time in his life:

1. Unsub knew the distance from McChord to
Sea-Tac and recognized Tacoma, Washington from
the air.

2. Unsub was dressed in a suit and lightweight
overcoat which is commonly worn by many north-
west area residents.

3. No accent or unusual speech mannerisms were
detected by the Northwest Airlines stewardesses
who had a chance to observe hin.

SPORT PARACHUTIST

The hijacker is probably not a sports parachutist
nor is he a member of a sport parachute club. The reasons
for this are as follows:

1. The hijacker requested two back parachutes
and two front parachutes. He gave no specific
instructions as to the type of parachute that
he desired. (i.e. a sports parachutist would
probably have requested a steerable sport

~I-
COVER PAGE

DB Cooper-42662 |

==== Part 95 · PDF page 256 · Bates DB Cooper-DB Cooper-42663 ====
SE 164-81

2, Several sport parachutists have advised that
a sport parachutist possesses an emotional
attachment to his parachute and probably would
not jump from an aircraft with anyone else's

chute, nor would they jump with a chute they
had not packed themseives.

The hijacker was furnished a parachute that
opens quickly, has a high rate of descent, and one that was
not steerable.

3, The hijacker was furnished two front parachutes,
commonly called chest packs which are to be used
in an emergeney when the back pack parachute
or main parachute fails to open properly. The
chest pack parachute the hijacker took with him

was a dummy parachute. It was designed for lectures to demon-
strate to new parachutists the proper method of opening a
chest pack parachute. It is felt an experienced sports para-
chutist would probably have noticed this defect.

4. Unsub's age has been deseribed as mid 40's

and it is noted that the average age in most

sport parachute clubs is mid 20's. If Unsub

was a member of a sport parachute club he would

certainly be an unusual member, one that would
be easily recognized by the other members, as well as one that
was well known because of his unusual age. It is felt that due
to the large amount of publicity a&forded this case, someone
in a sport parachute elub would have recognized his fellow
"sky diver" as being identical with Unsub if in fact Unsub
was a member of any sports parachute ciub.

When the stewardess presented the parachutes
to the hijacker she also presented an instruction sheet on
how to utilize a parachute. At that time, Unsub stated he
did not need any instructions concerning the use of a
parachute.

Sinee Unsub did not specify a specific type of
chute and because of the above reasoning concerning Unsub's
age, it is felt Unsub was not an experienced jumper or even
a sport jumper. In addition, Unsub probably had some jump
training most probably obtained while in the military.

HABITS

Unsub drinks in moderation and is probably not an
alcoholic. Unsub ordered one bourbon and seven at the be-
ginning of the flight and although he was offered several
free drinks later, he turned them down. This would indicate
that Unsub possessed sufficient willpower to refuse alcchol
in a tension-filled situation. It is believed an alcoholic
or a former alcoholic who had just had one drink and was
placed in a situation of similar stress would succumb to the
pressure and imbibe in the free drinks offered him by the
stewardesses.

Located in the ashtray utilized by Unsub were
eight cigarette butts, seven of which have been identified
by the FBI Laboratory as Raleigh filter cigarettes, and
the eighth cigarette is possibly the same. These cigar-
ettes are sold in a "soft pack". Unsub was in the aireraft
eight hours in an extremely tense situation. During the
eight hours, he had eight cigarettes. A two- ~pack- a-day
smoker would have consumed 20 cigarettes in eight hours
under normal circumstances It is felt Unsub may possibly
smoke less than one pack a "day.

CLOTHES

Located in Seat 18 E (the seat Unsub occupied)
was a black clip-on tie which contained a tie clip des-
eribed as yellow gold in color, with a white pearl circular
stone in the center. The label in the tie bore the name
"Towneraft" and bore the legend "Store 3, Penneys". The
label in this tie showed it to be a "Snapper" patent type
tie. Investigation at Las Vegas indicated this type tie
was sold for about $1.50 and that this particular tie wa
about a year to a ayear and a haif old. It was a Favorite
item for individuals such as waiters, busboys and barten-
ders.

Stewardess[_____—sidthas said that this tie, found
on the aircraft, was probably Unsubs and other witnesses have
indicated he wore a similar type tie.

SE 164-82

Since Unsub wore a tie during the hijacking and
for other reasons described above, it is felt he was possibly
an executive. However, since the tie was narrow and a
elip-on type not currentiy in style, Unsub was possibly
not on a top-level executive.

Unsub carried with him a cheap briefcase that
appeared to be new. It is thought the hijacker probably
purchased this briefcase just prior to the hijacking to be
used during the hijacking only.

Unsub wore a white shirt with small collar points
indicating he probably did not have the money to obtain a
more fashionable wardrobe (i.e. more colorful shirts with
larger collars currently in style). The white shirt could
also indicate the hijacker's conservative taste in clothing.

EDUCATION

Unsub was accessed to be a high school graduate
possibly with some college training, based primarily on
vocabulary used during the hijack. Further, Unsub impressed
stewardesses as possibly being experienced in dealing with
people. They, therefore, concluded he was the executive
type and seemed to naturally dictate the ransomed demands
to the stewardesses in lieu of writing the notes out himself.

Synopsis: On November ?4, 1971, a white male skyjacked a North-

west Airlines Flight from Portland to Seattle. The
hijacker demanded and received $200,900 and four pera-
chutes upon landing at Seattle-Tacoma International
Airport. After receiving the ransom money, the hijacker
allowed the passensers to leave. The plane then tcok
off for Reno and at 8:11 p.m. a pressure oscillation

was noted by the plane's crew. That pressure oscillation
was probably caused by the hijacker Leaving the aircraft.
Search of the aireraft at Reno revealed the hijacker

was not in the plane when it landed. Fxtensive searches
of the area into which the hijacker would have landed
failed to locate the hijacker or any evidence of value.
The initial black and white artist composite drawing

of the hijacker was changed to a color sketch to more
accurately reflect the hijacker's age and swarthy
complexion.

The Unsub, aka | at 2:00 PM, Pacific
Standard Time, November 24, 1971, purchased a one-way coach
ticket at the Portland International Airport, Portland,
Oregon, for travel from Portland to Seattle, Washington,
on Northwest Orient Airlines Flight Number 305, which was
a Boeing 727 aircraft. Unsub paid for this flight with a
twenty dollar bill and had no luggage. He occupied seat
number 18 E on the aircraft.

The Boeing 727 has three seats on each side of
the aisle. Row 18 is the last one on both the right and
left side of the aisle. The seats are identified From left
to right as you face the front of the aircraft with A,B,C
on the left side of the aisle and D (aisle seat}, E (center
and F (window seat) on the right side.

Almest flush against the back of row 18, except
for some eight inches near the aisle, is a bulkhead which
forms the wall for the lavatories, located behind row 18;

The hijacker then.dictated the following:

"T want $206,000 by 5:00 p.m. in eash". (No
specification as to denomination, age or sequence of bills).
"Put it in a knapsack. I want two back parachutes and two
front parachutes" (no other specification concerning para-
chute types}. "When we land I want a fuel truck ready
to refuel" (probably his flying experience caused him to
add this). "No funny stuff or I'll do the job" (the first
attempted parachute skyjacking had been foiled about 12
days earlier by the hijacked aircraft's crew.)

The hijacker showed both Stewardesses the contents
of his briefcase and stated it was an electrical device and
requested the aircraft radio be used as little as possible.

The hijacker explained why he hijacked this plane
by stating "it's not because I have a grudge against the
airlines, it's because I have a grudge."

The hijacker then added that the flight suited
his time, place and plans (probably the convenience of a
Portland to Seattle flight suited the hijacker).

The hijacker very carefully demanded that each and
every note either written by him or dictated to the stetrardess
by him be returned to him and he also had a used match cover
which was used to convey notes returned to him.

Stewardess[__—s| showed Stewardess | |
the demand notes and then went to the cockpit where she
displayed them to the captain of the aircraft. She thereafter
remained in the cockpit where she prepared thirteen pages of
notes concerning the hijacking.

The aireraft landed at Sea-Tac at 5:46 PM, PST, at
which time $200,000. in twenty dollar bills, weighing 19 pounds,
two back chutes and two chest chutes were given to him in a

white canvas bag. T assengers then were allowed to deplane
as were Stewardess and another stewardess.

The hijacker went to the lavatory just behind row
18 (the row he which he was sitting) and as he exited the
lavatory he was seen carrying the briefcase on its side in
both arms, with a 12"xl6"x4" light-colored package on top
of the briefcase.

Stewardess] |then acted as a communica- b6
tions media between the Unsub and the captain of the air- bic
craft until about five minutes after the aircraft departed
the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport when she was instruct-

ed to go to the cockpit by the Unsub.

The hijacker's instructions after receiving.

the money were vague. He probably wanted to jump from the
aircraft as soon as possible after the takeoff. The hi-
jacker put two of the parachutes, a back pack and a front
pack, on prior to take off. He also wanted the air stairs
lowered prior to takeoff, which subsequently proved to be
impossible. Finally the hijacker jumped as soon as practi-
cal after the stairs were lowered in flight. The hijacker

was delayed from jumping by the trouble he

The plane departed Sea-Tac at 7:36 PM. Some four

or five minutes after take-off,

was sent to the b6

cockpit by the hijacker. Some ten minutes after she entered b7C
the cockpit, one of the officers received a call on the

interphone from the hijacker, advising he could not get

the air stairs down. The pilot then leveled off the aircraft

and reduced the air speed. Within a very short time, the

officer's panel showed that the stairs had been lowered

and approximately five minutes later, (8:05 PM), the officer
contacted the hijacker who said everything was okay. That was

the last communication with the hijacker.

At 8:11 PM, while the plane was at 10,000 feet, the
erew experienced a pressure bump or oscillation and the Cabin
Pressure Rate of Change Gauge also reacted violently and it
was thought, at that time, that the hijacker might have left

the aircraft.

When the aircraft landed at Reno, Nevada, a chest
pack chute and a back type chute were found on the plane.
The missing chest pack chute, sometimes referred to as an
emergency chute, is a training pack "dummied up" to look
like a good one. The missing back pack chute is non-steerable
and anyone utilizing this type chute would have no chance of
slowing down or picking his spot on which to land.

Also located in sear 18 E of the aircraft at Reno,
was a black clip-on tie which tontained a tie clasp described
as yellow gold in color with a white pearl circular stone
in the center. The Label in the tie bore the name "Town-
eraft" and bore Store #3, Penneys. The label in this tie
showed it to be a "Snapper" patent type tie. Investiga-
tion in Las Vegas indicated that this type sold for about
$1.50, that it was about a year to a year and a half old,
and it was a favorite item for individuals such as waiters,
busboys and bartenders. Stewardess has said that b6
this tie was probably the Unsub's and other witnesses have b7C
indicated that he wore a similar type tie.

Located in the ashtray utilized by the Unsub were
eight cigarette butts, seven of which have been identified
by the FBI Laboratory as Raleigh filter tip cigarettes and
the eighth cigarette is probably the same. These cigarettes
are sold in a "soft pack".

The two seats which she had observed to be oc-
cupied by the unknown subject were processed for fingerprints.
In addition the telephone, the area around the rear door,
the rear door and four plastic drinking glasses found in
the trash receptacle by the back door were also processed
for fingerprints. In addition, a cloth towel affixed to the
rear of one of the seats reportedly occupied by the unknown
subject was removed and examined by Reno Agents. On that
towel was noted what appeared to be a short human hair.

The FBI Laboratory by communication dated DBecem-
ber 9, 1971, advised that an examination of the towel sub-~
mitted by the Las Vegas Office, disclosed a brown head hair
clipping and a brown limb hair, both of Caucasian origin.
The report continued that the head hair clipping is suitable
for significant comparison results, but that the limb hair
possesses to few unique microscopic characteristics to be
of value for that purpose.

The Laboratory also advised that the hairs obtain-
ed from the towel have been mounted on a glass microscopic
slide. They suggested that if microscopic comparisons between

between the head hair clipping and a known head hair sample
were desired, that the glass microscopic slide containing
the hair clipping should be resubmitted to the Laboratory
by the Las Vegas Office.

The contents of the ashtray, the towel and the
microscopic slide were returned by the Laboratory to the
Las Vegas Office and are being held by the Las Vegas Divi-
sion as evidence.

It is apparent from the following excerpts, taken
from logs maintained by ground personnel on November 24,
1971, that the hijacker exited the airplane at 8:11 p.m.
local time.

When the hijacker jumped, the air stairs were
forced closed causing an increase in air pressure sipilar
to shutting a car door with the windows up. As this pressure
increase oceurred the co-pilot turned to look at the cabin
rate of climb meter and in doing so his communications: ear
plug was pulled from his ear.

The co-pilot's comments at this time were being
recorded on a tape recorder which had previously been started
on a time standard signal. Through careful play back and
sequencing, the time of the pressure oscillation caused by
the air stairs closing after Unsub departed was determined
to be 8:11 p.m. local time. '

Ransom money in the amount of $200,000 was made
up entirely of used, random 20 dollar bills. It was obtain-
ed from the Seattle First National Bank, Main Office, and
was part of a ransom package of $250,000. which had been
maintained by the bank for such emergencies, The package
measured approximately one foot by one foot by eight or
nine inches and weighed 19 pounds. .

A check of the Federal Aviation Administration
flight section at Portland International Airport reflected
that on November 24, 1971 between 8:00 PM and 9:00 PM,
there was a ceiling of 5,000 feet, 3,500 feet broken clouds,
and at 1,500 feet scattered and broken clouds at times
with a wind of 12-14 knots. The temperature at the end of
the air stairs at the time of the jump was approximately
9° C. :

On October 5, 1972, Mr. DONALD W. NYROP, President,
Northwest Orient Airlines, Minneapolis-Saint Paul Interna-
tional Airport, advised he authorized a finers fee of
$25,000 total reward or 15% for any portion of the ransom
money that is returned,

In addition, The Seattle Post-Intelligencer, a
local newspaper in Seattle, has offered $5,900 for informa-
tion leading to the arrest and conviction of Unsub.

On 1/6/72, the NWA 727 which was actually invoived
in the hijacking, was flown to Seattle, by b6
for the purpose of conducting a test to see if the "pressure bIC

bump" experienced during the hijacking, was caused by some-~
thing leaving the aircraft,

The conclusion from that test was that the cabin
pressure change occurred when the stairs were forced upward
by the air ppessureatter the weizht had been removed,
according to , who was a member of b6
the hijacked crew, and also a member of the crew when bie
the test was performed, the occurrence was identical with
the incident on the night of the hijack, Also the
instrument in the cabin which. reacted so violently on

the night of the hijacking, also reacted the same way when
the test was performed,

| | | based on the test flight above, b6
| then prepared a memo showing the steps by which he arrived b7C
at the best probable bail out point of the hijacker, and

On November 28, 1971, reports of planes flying
at night on November 23, 1971, in the vicinity of the
airfields located at View, Washington, and in the vicinity
of County Road 42 and Grantham Road in Clark County as well
as other small airports in Clark and Cowlitz Counties were
checked with ail flights being explainable and normal,

On November 29, 1971, the area from Woodland,
Washington, up the Lewis River Road to Congar, Washington,
and Yale Lake was covered on a house to house basis, all
locations being in Cowlitz County. The business establish-
ments and private homes contacted all had information
concerning the subject and his physical description,

Further house to house coverage was afforded in
an area near the midpoint of a circle specified by Northwest
Airlines as the center of the suspected area in which the
subject exited the airplane, Every house and business
establishment in a 20 mile square area was contacted or
recontacted and it was found all individuals contacted
had information on the subject but no information of value
other than that previously reported,

On November 30, 1971, 211 doctors, clinics,
hospitals, and agencies which couid render medical assistance
to an individual who could have broken Limbs or severe
abrasions from being in a heavily wooded area were contacted
and were also circularized with a composite photograph
and description of the subject in Clark, Lewis, Cowlitz,
Wahkiakum, and Skamania Counties,

A Bonneyille Power Administration helicopter and
one fixed wing aircraft upon a partial clearing of the
weather continued an air search concentrating on the area
which has a center point of a circle as furnished by
Northwest Airlines, The search took in an area approxi-
mately 150 miles square and nothing of a positive nature
was found,

Further house to house canvassing was conducted
by Agents in the prime search area near the center of the
circle as provided by Northwest Airlines, Nothing of
significant value other than that already secured was
found,

On December 1, 1971, a fixed wing aircraft from
Woodland, Washington, was aloft and covered an area during
a slight period of clear weather which encompassed the area
fro; Woodland, Washington, north to Silver Lake in Cowlitz
County, a distance of 40 miles and a section 10 miles on
either side of the flight path of the hijacked aircraft,
White this was being conducted, Agents in ground units were
conducting door to door canvass in the vicinity of the
southerly end of Cowlitz County, Total area covered by
air was 800 square miles with negative resuits,

On December 2, 1971, ten Agents walked in a defined
search pattern the area in the immediate vicinity of the
circle of search as set forth by Northwest Airlines, The
terrain was found to be composed of fieids which are' being
farmed and a number of impenetrable thickets which have
fallen logs, hidden beaver ponds, and creeks and generally
hazardous and most difficult terrain to search on foot,

It was noted that in getting into the thicket and under-
brush growth, it was so heavy that even if an item was
five yards from the observer, it could easily be missed
due to overgrowth problems, The area covered in this
physical terrain search was 1 1/2 miles long and 2/3 of
a mile wide and took approximately five hours, Negative
results in the search,

FIRST TERRAIN SEARCH

The purpose of the first terrain search was to
search for possible evidence left behind by Unsub and to
find the remains of Unsub assuming he made an unsuccessful
jump. The first terrain search 'commenced at 2:00 PM on
March 21, 1372 with 218 Army troops including officers,

20 Special Agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation
and 9 helicopters. The area to be searched covered approxi-
mately 25 square miles,

Due to snowfall in search area on March 25, 1972,
the search was temporarily held up. Army troops remained
on location and the search resumed at 12:00 Noon on
March 26, 1972. The search was temporarily discontinued
at 12:00 Noon March 30, 1972 to allow search personnel to
rest and enjoy the Easter Holiday. The Army search equip-
ment was retained at search headquarters at Merwin Park.

The search recommenced 7:15 AM, April 8, 1972,
with 265 Army persornvel and 20 Agents. Snow, sleet and
freezing rain hampered search on April 12, 1972. Remaining
areas to be searched were reached only by helicopter in-
sertion of search personnel and landing zones in most
cases were under 6 to 12 inches of snow.

The search of the entire area was completed at
1:00 PM, April 17, 1972 with nothing found.

HUNTERS SEARCH

Prior to the 1972 hunting season, the following
information was made available to Washington State Game
Wardens who supervise the area into which the hijacker
parachuted:

"On November 24, 1971, a man parachuted into the
below-~described area with $200,000 in $20 bills. If, while
camping or hunting, you should discover any evidence con~
cerning this skyjacking please contact the nearest FBI
office.

AREA INVOLVED

"Bound on the west by US 5, bound on the south
by the Columbia River, bound on the north by the Kalama
River, and bound on the east by the Skamania~Clark County
line,

WHAT TO LOOK FOR:

"1) The remains of a man, possibly dead for one
year.

2) The remnants of a parachute, harness or
parachute shroud lines. .

3) 10,000 $20 bills wrapped in a parachute
canopy, all serial numbers are known and can be identified.

4) Deteriorated raincoat or overcoat.
5) Smail briefcase or attache case.
REWARD:

"$25,000.00 total or 15% of any lesser portion of
the ransom money that is returned has been offered by
Northwest Orient Airlines.

"If any information concerning this matter is
discovered, it should be reported to the FBI Office at
Seattle, Washington, area code 206, telephone MA. 2-0460
collect, or to the nearest FBI Office, which can be found
by checking in front of your telephone directory."

The above information in the form of letters was
distributed to hunters by game wardens.

The remains of JAMES ANNIS were found by hunters
near Cougar, Washington on November 5, 1972. ANNIS, 16 years
old in 1971, was reported missing on November 13, 1971 while
hunting. He was positively identified by dental examination.

Several leads were received as the result of the

publicity afforded this case by the news media and the
Washington State Department of Game Wardens. These leads

==== Part 95 · PDF page 287 · Bates DB Cooper-DB Cooper-42694 ====
SE 164-81

all received expeditious and thorough attention but all
results were negative.

SECOND TERRAIN SEARCH

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

The first search area was calculated using a
system of plotting known as "GEOREF" (i.e. Geographical
Reference) which has a plotting error of plus or minus
one mile. A new plotting system using a computer generated
latitude and longitude has a plotting error of plus or
minus 1/2 mile. Using the_new _systen, |
Northwest Orient Airlines[___], plotted a new course for
the NORJAK airplane and a new séarch area based on the new
course. The new seamch area based on the new course. The
new search area is partially outside the first area. (See
maps.)

It is felt that if Unsub's parachute opened, he
is no longer in the southwest Washington area, but if his
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 area
Unsub would have landed in if his parachute did not open.

Because some of the above corridor fell in the
old or first terrain search area, only an area 2 miles by
1/2 mile was searched during the second terrain search.

The second terrain search commenced March 12,
1973, and involved 10 Special Agents of the Seattle Office.
It was temporarily interrupted on March 16 and resumed again
March 26, 1973.

The second terrain search was completed March 29,
1373 with nothing found.

ARTIST SKETCH

in an effort to show Unsub's swarthy complexion
and age more clearly, a new color sketch has been prepared
and disseminated to all field offices.

FAA RECORDS

The Seattle Division advised the Bureau by Nitel
on June 8, 1972 of the following information concerning
the Federal Aviation Administration records for licensed
pilots:

In considering the feasability of checking FAA
records for all licensed pilots, the Oklahoma City Office
has advised that PAA Aeronautical Center maintains records
of over 850,000 licensed pilots. These records are filed
by name or license certificate number, but not by age.
Further, they do not include photographs of each licensed
pilot. The FAA at Oklahoma City advises that records are
permanently maintained at FAA on those pilots whose licenses
have been revoked, expired or lapsed.

BORING FILE REVIEW

THE BOEING COMPANY

The Boeing Company made available their personnel
files of Boeing personnel who were members of the 727 Air
stairs test team and officers of the Boeing Skydivers Club,
which went out of existence in 1960 or 1961. These files
were reviewed and several of the personnel on the list were
interviewed to determine if anyone involved in the air stairs

test could have been the hijacker and to determine any in-
formation they might have possessed as to the identity of
Unsub, all with negative rsults.

On J 3 972, | }, a b6
Boeing Company| | made available a copy of the b7C

Boeing Test Summary Report pertaining to the flight confi-
guration of the 727. The following flight configuration was
used during the Boeing air stairs test:

Speed ~ 125 knots
Flaps - 25° down
Aititude - 10,000 feet.

In Seattle report of SA CHARLES E. FARRELL,
February 16, 1872, it is noted that Unsub requested the
following flight configuation prior to taking off from
Seattle-Tacoma Airport:

Gear down

Flaps - 15° down
Altitude - 10,000 feet

Aft door open and the air stairs down.

When it was explained to the hijacker that the
plane could not teke off with the air stairs down, he re-
portedly said in a low voice, "Yes they can, but the cockpit can
put it down after they get airborne."

On duly 26, 1972,|__] advised that if the hi- be
jacker was a member of, or had consulted with a member of ©
the Boeing Test Team, he would have known that the 727 could
not have taken off with the air stairs down, nor would it have be
been necessary since the air stairs can easily be lowered in
flight.

Stewardess | |remarked upon being inter- b6é
viewed shortly after the hijacking, that the air stairs and b7c
the controls for the air stairs were the only functions
of the aireraft that the hijacker did not seem to be fully
aware of.

FIRST SKYJACKING UTILIZING PARACHUTES

In an effort to determine the origin of the
D.B. COOPER hijacking (i.e. the original idea behind the
skyjack plan), a review was conducted of the magazine and
newspaper articles written just prior to NORJAK.

The below quoted newspaper article described the
first known skyjacking in which a parachute was used by
the skyjacker.

The Seattle Times, November 13, 1971:

"Calgary, Alberta - (UPI) ~ A masked hyjacker
carrying more than 40 pounds of dynamite was knocked un-
conscious today by an Aiy Canada crewman wielding a fire ax.
The crewmants action 3,000 feet in the air ended a six-
hour hijacking which skipped back and forth over the United
States ~ Canadian border.

"The hijacker, reported in fair condition today
with a possibie skull fracture, was putting on a parachute
to bail out of the DC8 over Calgary when he was struck by
the ax. .

"The hijacker, carrying a shotgun in addition to
the dynamite, took control last night of the Calgary to
Montreal flight carrying 123 persons. Claiming to be a member
of the Irish Republican Army, the man demanded $1.5 million
and a free passage to Ireland. (A touring I.R.A. spokesman
denied that the hijacker belonged to the I.R.A.)

"After landing in Great Falls, Montana, the man
accepted $50,000 ransom. The plane took off, landed again
at Great Falls, and the man let the passengers to unharmed.
But, he ordered the plane with its five-member crew to take
off again. Indecision on the part of the hijacker led
the plane back and forth across the border before he ap-
parently decided to jump.

tAn Air Canada official said that as the hijacker
was preparing to jump, the pilo.,

jumped him ana[__ ane up behind him and tlet him b6
have it with a fire ax. b7C

"Flight 812 made its first landing at Great Fells
after the hijacker had taken over 40 miles west of Winnipeg,
Manitoba. There it was refueled and the $50,000 was handed
to the hijacker by a policewoman. The money was raised
by bankers as the plane circled the city for two hours.

"The plane then took off for a scheduled stop in
Regina, Saskatchewan, to let the 114 passengers aboard
disembark, The plane did not land in Regina, however, but
turned back and set down in Great Falls again where the
passengers and three of the nine crew members were set free.

"On its second take-off from Great Falls, Air
Canada officials said the hijacker wanted to be taken to
New York City before proceeding to Ireland. The man, des~
cribed as 5-feet-7, dark-haired and in his 30's 'then

settled for Calgary. -

"At Great Falls Airport, Gov. FORREST ANDERSON
and hundweds of onlookers stood by. ANDERSON said he came
to persuade the hijacker to surrender op at least release
the passengers. He never saw the hijacker, however,"

The Seattle Post Intelligencer

"Calgary, Alta. ~ (UPT) - A masked man armed with
a sawed-off shotgun and dynamite who could not make up his
mind where he anted to go was knocked out by a crew member
early today to end a bizarre hijacking flight on an Air
Canada DC 8.

"The hijacker was captured when a crew member
struck him with a fire ax as the man was bending over to
put on a parachute he was carrying, Air Canada said. A
local hospital reported the hijacker suffered lacerations
on his head.

"The plane ~ originally bound from Vancouver,
B.C. to Montreal - was commandeered with 127 persons aboard.

SPo71 PLICHT

U.S. ATP PORCH Sh-71 ATPRCPATT

By communication December 3, 1971, the Sacramento Di-
vision advised that Peale Air Feree Pase, omen had
offered, free of charge to the Rureau, use of an SR-71 air-
eraft to photograph terrain over which the hijacked airpiane
had flown on its trip to Reno.

. This aircraft was described as an extremely sophis-
ticated aerial reconnaissance plane which would photorranh a
strip 20 miles wide with photopraphic resolution of detecting
objects on the sround 2 feet square. The film strip would
then be reviewed by trained and qualified U.S. Air Force
personnel.

By communication February 17, 1972 the Sacramento Di-
vision advised that photographic over-flirhts using Sh-71
aircraft were conducted on Five separate occasions with no
photorrap} obtainoad gue to Limited visibility from very high
altitude, [- ISR-71 Pliphts
from Beale Air Force Pase advised cach such flight requires
minimum of one week advance clearance with FAA due to sonic
boom probler, specialized computer prorramming of aircraft,
filing of flisht plan and compliance with FAA requirements.
Accordingly, weather on flight date cannot be accurately
predicted. He stated no future flights over specific area
where hijacker possibly exited could be schueduled since SR~71
aireraft committed for military missions.

By communication, November 1, 1972, Seattle Division
advised the Bureau and Norfolk that Unsub had in his possession,
prior to the time he jumped, the following paraphernalia:

A. Parachute Rack Pack
B. Parachute Chest Pack
°C. Briefcase or attache case
DBD. Dark overcoat
E. A 4¥xl2x1l paper bag
F. A pair of dark slip-on shoes
G. Wran-around sunglasses with dark rims
H. 10,000 $20 bills

Since none of the above was found wren the plane
was searched at Reno, Unsub must have taken them with hir,
or discarded some of them prior to jumping.

The above-described attache case supposedly contained
a bomb. It is believed Unsub threw this attache case from
the plane prior to his jumping, because of the numerous other
items he had to carry. If he did throw it prior to jumping,
it would fall almost directly in the path of the aircraft.
The 727 air stairs were lowered sometime after 7:42-p.m. and
Unsub jumped prior to 8:15 p.m. on November 24, 1971. The
plane covered a distance of approximately 87 miles during
this time. '

The items could possibly be lodged in thickly wooded,
mountainous terrain. The search area would cever a strip of
land approximately 87 miles long by one-half mile wide. It
has been suggested that infrared photography.might possibly
indicate non-living material, such as an attache case, in a
darker shade than living material, thereby enabling the case
to be found using infrared high resolution photorraphy.

Since Unsub possibly, discarded the attache case
prior to jumping, he could not have buried or hidden it.
The case would have dropped directly in the flight path cf
the plane and could possibly be visible from the air. The
length of. time Unsub would have to throw the case or any
other time is limited to 33 minutes, and therefore the area
covered is relatively small when compared to the entire
flisht, path.

By communication November 9, 1972, the Norfolk Division
advised that interviews were conducted with the following
individuais assigned to the] } b6
, Langley Air Force Rase, Virginia: b7C

It was the consensus of opinion among the three
individuals above, each of whom las had considerable experience

with infrared imagery, that efforts to locate the attache case
by this means would prob bly prove futile. The terrain, as
described, would neutralize any effort, particularly if tall
trees and mountains are part of its makeup. Further expr? ained
was the necessity for the presence of heat which would need

to be gencrated by the object (attache case) in contrast to

the surrounding terrain for successful infrared high resolution
photography. The size of the attache case provides a poor
target for any type of aerial photography, including visual
photography.

All three individuals interviewed continued to
express their negative feelings as to the success of either of
the aerial photography procedures in this particular instance.

The Alexandria Division was requested to determine
the feasibility of routing a visual aerial photography training
mission over the area of interest. Atexandria advised —by—
airtel dated February 8, 1973, that
| | was contacted and he advised that

he had made inquiry into this matter and stated that in the
event Seattle wished to have military assistance in this matter
then Seattle should request the Director to submit a letter

of request to the Special Assistant to the Secretary of Defense,
Office of the Secretary of Defense, Pentagon, Washington, D.C.
20301. In this letter the full particulars of the matter should
be set forth as well as whether or not the Bureau or Department
of Justice is willing to observe the additional cost if any

to the Air Force. | |advised that he could not state
positively that the reaues* would be granted, however, advised
that it was his opinion ti t if this were to be a reimbursable
project, that it would prebably receive more favorable action.
However, in any event, upon receipt of the letter a conference
would be held within the appropriate military organization to
ascertain the feasibility of such missions and the Pureau would
be properly notified.

In view of the above information no further request
was made to have a visual aerial photography training mission
at this time. Consideration may be given to this type of
survey if new methods or monies become available.

a parachutist named RAYMOND T. HEALD. He noted that HEALD
would probably not be considered in his mid forties unless
disguised and recalled him to be in his early thirties. He
knew BEALD to have been familiar with the Seattle, Washington
and Portland, Oregon areas and believed him capable of such
a crime. He advised he had last seen HEALD about two years

had assumed that he was working an_an air controller until
receipt of a Christmas card from in December

1972, at which time advised that RAY was attending
college and working aS a part-time disc jockey in Ashland,

early thirties, 5'11"%, 180 pounds, dark brown hair, rugged,
outdoor, well-tanned complexion, well spoken, polite, and
handsome appearing. They recalied that almost the entire
time they knew HEALD from mid 1970 to about April 1971, -

he was clean shaven; however, just prior to his departure
he was noted to be growing a beard.

aie controller trainee at Palmdale, California, was being
transferred to Santa Monica as ax Lt of numerous problems
he was involved in at Palmdale. ae ccatidentialiy
stated it was indicated to him that HEALD should be fired
but due to the manner in which reams of evidence had been
mishandled, his superiors did not feel a hearing at this
time was feasible. He stated that among allegaticns was the
fact that HEALD was involved in the sale cf marijuana to
trainees at the Air Control Center, Palmdale. Shortiy after
his arrival at Santa Monica, HEALD was known to be abusing
the privilege of trainees wherein they were allowed to fly
in the cockpits of aircraft to study traffic. On one specific

tt is realized that this location is too far

related to this case. However, in view o intense
current public interest ond the fact the | Lurnished
his information first to "The Oreron Journal" which transe

investigation should be conducted.

Recalling that the parachute rigger in this
