Dear Sir,

I am writing this letter in regards to the plane Hi jacking of Nov. 24th over Washington State.

The man described as being the Hi jacker fits [REDACTED] perfectly.

Perhaps its just a coincidence but I have been un-easy about it ever since I read about it. I have tried several times to get in touch with the State College Pa. Office. But no one answers the phone there.

[REDACTED] is now living in Reno Nevada since March 71. He is an ex paratrooper with 99 jumps to his credit. He has used both type parachutes, with static line and free fall type. He has flown many times in all types of planes. Including jets and is very familar with pro- cedures. He is 43 yrs. old, 5'11" tall dark brown hair usually worn short. Brown eyes, prominent nose and has a very nervous twitch in his chin when under pressure. He carries a brown brief case when traveling.

I do not wish to cause him trouble unnecessarily but I am concerned about [REDACTED] [REDACTED] once a week. This has really bothered me since the Hi jacking and so many of my relatives have called me and expressed their amazement as to how much this sounded like Dave. Perhaps I am being silly but I honestly believe that there will be no harm done if he is not the man. I sincerely hope not.
