Stewardess - 2 Dec 7, 1971

Boeing tells me there are no 727's in the military inventory. That there are no flight training manuals on flap and speed for "personnel" drops. And that the listings of the C.I.A (Central Intelligence Agency) and its two private firms are classified information and they do not have it.

But this man said he had piloted for jumping – and jumped. Do your loading sheets show he was sold a ticket at Melo City, to Seattle – Sept 13, or on a return? Does it show a name? This name might be checked for a pilots licence.

2. The real hawler.

When I saw the sketch of the he-jacker, I really did a double-take, but it took a bit to know why. This "pilot" got off the plane at Sandpoint, Idaho. He got back on with 4 (four) persons all dressed identically, in black outfits and the same goggles as the sketch. It caused a few comments aboard. The jackets were all shiny black plastic or leather and to the knees. Two of the men sat in the back row, across the aisle. The "pilot" told the other two to come forward with hem, and he would "arrange" so they could set together. If the "pilot" was 5'10", the man who followed him was 6'1" or 6'-2". And thin – at least the coat was not full. The second man was about 6'.

After the plane took off, the stewardess came back and took the Seattle pin off the seat next to mine.
