He was at home with relatives during the Thanks- giving Holidays, including November 24, 1971. Guests at his home during this time was an [redacted] of Portland, Oregon, and [redacted]. These two relatives will verify his presence. [redacted] stated emphatically that he knows nothing of any hijackings and he had nothing to do with this particular case. He is a licensed commercial pilot and served in the air force previously. He has jumped from an airplane in a parachute on one occasion while he was in the Air Force. He pre- viously worked for Boeing on the 747, but quit after approximately six months work, to go to work for the [redacted] which job he now holds. He is described as follows: White male, 6'4", 170 pounds, 35 years, dob [redacted], dark brown hair, brown eyes, medium complexion, medium build, wearing glasses with black rims. He smokes Viceroy cig- arettes and previously smoked Salem cigarettes. He has a very prominently hooked nose.

[redacted] states that he will attend a lineup before the passengers or crew members of the Northwest Orient Airliner which was hijacked at any time.

Since [redacted] does resemble the composite drawing of the hijacker in some facial features, it is suggested that the case agent may wish to set a lead to have some members of the crew or passengers interviewed to ascertain whether the subject has a hooked nose.
