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 - ganny as it sounds - that there were
persons aboard who could throw light on your recent
highjacking!
I sat [in] seat

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 "we had all jumped in training" and "it was
a hell of a thrill".
I said: Thailand. He grinned and said, someplace
like that. (C.T.A. trains in Taiwan) He said he had
not been able to get a job as a pilot commercially on
a 727 because he didn't have enough flying hours.
