The pilot and NWA officials, after being apprised of the hijacking, were positive in their statements that they wanted no one else to go near the plane after its arrival at Sea-Tac, and wanted no interference in the re- fueling operation, or delivery of the money and parachutes.

The crew of the plane subsequently requested Seattle Approach Control for holding instructions in order that they could remain airborne long enough for NWA people at Sea-Tac to get the $200,000 and the four parachutes.

The passengers had been told that they were burning off excess fuel and had some mechanical difficulty.

During the approximate one hour and 15 minutes during which the plane circled over Sea-Tac, NWA representa- tives succeeded in obtaining $200,000 in used 20 dollar bills as well as two back parachutes and two chest parachutes.

During the flight from Portland to Seattle, [REDACTED] asked the hijacker why he picked on NWA. The hijacker replied,

"Its not because I have a grudge against

your airline, its just because I have a

grudge."

He then added that the flight suited his time, place and plans.

The money was obtained from the Seattle-First National Bank and delivered to NWA facilities at the airport by bank employees in an unmarked Seattle Police Department vehicle. The money was handed over to [REDACTED] NWA.

The two parachutes were obtained from [REDACTED] Renton, Washington, and taken to NWA facilities by taxi.
