Supt. of Stewardesses, Northwest Orient. Seattle-Tacoma Airport. Wn

Could you establish who was the stewardess for the rear section (a blonde) for flight 45- Minn to Seattle, Monday, Sept 13, and see if she can recollect - or recognize persons mentioned, or have seating arrangements with names and destinations?

I believe - [guess: gammy] as it sounds - that there were persons aboard who could throw light on your recent highjacking!

I sat [REDACTED] seat [REDACTED]

At Miles City, the stewardess stuck a Seattle pin in the seat next to mine. Since a passenger got off at Miles City this man sat in the aisle seat. About 5'10", well built, over 30.

Between Great Falls and Missoula, this man told me he had flown a 727 for the "military" dropping "personnel and supplies" in places otherwise inaccessible. He said "ive had all jumped in training" and "It was a hell of a thrill".

I said: Thailand? He grinned and said, someplace like that. (C.I.A. trains in Taiwan) He said he had not been able to get a job as a pilot commercially a 727 because he didn't have enough flying hours [REDACTED]
