UNSUB, aka Dan Cooper;
NW AIRLINES FLIGHT #305,
PORTLAND TO SEATTLE,

CAA - HIJACKING; EXTORTION
---
SA [REDACTED] called from Minneapolis. He
just finished a conference with NW Airlines people in
regard to the possibility of an individual hiding behind
one of the inspection panels inside the fuselage of the
airplane. He has been told by NW people that this is
virtually impossible and that access is possible only to a
contortionist unless the stairway is all the way down as it
would be in the flight position.
[REDACTED] says he cannot find out from NW if they
have actually inspected these areas in the plane and said the
plane would be coming into Seattle as Flight 735 at 5:26PM,
12/4/71. It will be in Seattle overnight and we can
arrange with NW to have it inspected at that time.
[REDACTED] reiterated that NW people told him
this was almost 100% impossible.
