On November 24, 1971, unknown subject boarded United Airlines Flight 305 scheduled to fly from Portland, Oregon, to Seattle, Washington, using the name of Dan Cooper. Unknown subject displayed to a stewardess aboard the flight a black attache case which was said to contain a bomb. Unknown subject, the hijacker, requested $200,000.00 and two parachutes.
At the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, hijacker was provided with four parachutes and $200,000.00 in $20.00 bills and a canvas bank bag.
The plane departed the Seattle-Tacoma Inter- national Airport with three crew members in the cabin and a stewardess in the rear of the plane with the hijacker. Within minutes after takeoff at 7:36 p.m., the hijacker had the stewardess show him how to lower the steps and he then ordered her to go to the first class section which she did. At 8:05 p.m., the captain was in touch with the hijacker by the intercom. This was the last communication he had with the hijacker. Just prior to this communication, the captain had a signal indicating that the stairs had been lowered. At 8:12 p.m., the captain experienced "oscillation" in the plane and thought perhaps the hijacker had departed the plane.
