What does the scan show?
A person reads every report. Corrections are made by hand, to the data — titles, dates, names, which pages belong together — never to the scans, and they can take a while to appear.

PARACHUTE EXPERTS ADVISE THAT PARA- CHUTES LEAVING PLANE AT THAT POINT WOULD DRIFT APPROXIMATELY TWO AND ONE HALF MILES EAST, THEREFORE SEARCH IN THIS AREA BEING IN- TENSIFIED AM OF TWENTYSEVEN INSTANT VIA HELICOPTERS AND GROUND SEARCH. HELICOPTER SEARCH BEING MADE CONTINGENT UPON WEATHER PERMITTING. UPON RECEIPT OF ARTISTS CONCEPTION, INTEND TO GIVE WIDE DISSEMINATION TO PRESS, CONTACTS WILL BE MADE WITH AIRPORTS, FLIGHT SCHOOLS, PARACHUTE CLUBS IN BROAD GENERAL VICINITY. E N D
