On November 24, 1971, while employed as a stewardess for Northwest Airlines, she flew on Flight 305 which originated in Washington, D.

She said the crew for her flight were Pilot WILLIAM SCOTT, [REDACTED] Second Officer, [REDACTED] Senior Stewardess b6 , B Stewardess [REDACTED] and C Stewardess b7C

[REDACTED] advised that her flight departed Minnea- b6 polis, Minn., at 10:35 Central Standard Time, with a light load, b7C less than half, and flew to Great Falls, Montana, then to Missoula, Montana, then to Spokane, Washington, and Portland, Oregon. She said that the aircraft departed Portland, Oregon at 2:53 Pacific Time, and arrived two hours and fifty-three minutes later at Seattle which is normally a 36 minute flight.

Just before the [REDACTED] gave the word for b6 take off from Portland, [REDACTED] took a beverage form to b7C the aft jump seat. There was a man in seat 18 E, middle right aft passenger seat, and as she, [REDACTED] faced the barrier strip, she observed [REDACTED] dropping a note, stand up, and unfasten the barrier strip and sit down next to the man in seat 18 E.
