Re New York airtel dated 7/24/72.

On August 15, 1972, [REDACTED] Para-Gear Equipment Company, 5138 North Broadway, Chicago, Illinois, advised his company is one of the largest mail order sport parachuting equipment supply houses in the United States. He and [REDACTED] have little direct contact with their customers. He has reviewed his files and the name COOPER does not appear.

[REDACTED] advised he is from the Seattle area and came to Chicago one year ago. While in Seattle he sport parachuted for six years. He stated he did not recall having met anyone he felt could be identical to unknown subject.

[REDACTED] stated in his opinion the person responsible for the hijacking is not a sport parachutist. He bases this opinion on the theory that sport parachutists have an emotional attachment to their equipment, and probably would not perform a jump with equipment not known to them. From the accounts he read concerning the hijacking he assumes the hijacker had military parachuting experience.
