Recently there was a T.V. program about the sky jacking of Northwest Airlines, from Portland, Oregon to Seattle, Wash- ington and subsequently leaving Seattle where the sky jacker jumped from the 727 somewhere over southwest Washington. A composite of the sky jacker was shown [REDACTED] and I looked at each other and spontaneously we both said "that's [REDACTED] [REDACTED]".

[REDACTED] (this is strictly supposi- tion).
His age in 1971 would have been [REDACTED] - the composite picture shown ton T.V. is a remarkable resemblance. Also the T.V. article stated that about 4 days prior to the sky jacking, a light A/C made daily low level flights over Lacenter, Wash. This of course, could very well be plann- ing for the job. Also, [REDACTED] in Lacenter about the same age, and could very well meet the same physi- cal description of the composite, shown on T.V. I cannot remember his name.

It might be interesting to check [REDACTED] activities prior to and after the sky jacking. Of course, there may not be a connection and I really hope there isn't, as I have always considered [REDACTED] a friend. Please acknowledge this correspondence.
