Handwritten operational flight log documenting the D.B. Cooper hijacking flight (Northwest Orient) on the evening of November 24, 1971. Entries are timestamped in Zulu (UTC) with PST conversions noted. Records include radio communications, altitude/heading changes, fuel status (FOB 17,300), flight level (350), headwinds (10 knot), navigation fixes (RDB direct RNO, 58 DME from RBL), cabin cooling requests, and fuel load calculations (90,000 lbs total fuel aboard with 10,000 lbs reserve). The route references Fresno (FAT), Red Bluff (RBL), and Reno (RNO), consistent with the hijacked aircraft's flight path.
