Re SC airtel to SE, 12/15/71, [redacted]
On 2/3/72, [redacted] provided information that [redacted], Washington, was rented by one [redacted], [redacted] Washington. This [redacted] had last been paid for on 1/12/72; and since the rent had lapsed, it was assumed that [redacted] no longer was living at [redacted].

On 2/3/72, [redacted], Washington, provided in- formation that [redacted] was no longer living in [redacted]. [redacted] He was able to provide no forward- ing address for [redacted] but stated that [redacted] was a dedicated skydiver and that he could be contacted through the Seattle Skydiving Club located at the Snohomish Airport.

On 2/18/72, [redacted], Washington, was contacted at the Seattle Skydiving Club, Snohomish City Airport, Snohomish, Washington. He pro- vided the following information.

[redacted] of the Seattle Skydivers Club and has made [redacted] jumps. He states that the type chute used by the skyjacker is not a steerable chute and would not be selected by an experienced chutist; but if that were the only type chute provided for the skyjacker and he was an experienced chutist, he would experience no problems in making a dive from a 727 aircraft at 10,000 feet going less than 200 knots. [redacted] states that should the FBI wish it, he would be more than happy to exactly duplicate the conditions of the jump made by the skyjacker using the same equipment and jump- ing from the exact same airplane under the exact same conditions.
