The hijacker had ordered the flight down at Seattle to pick up the ransom money and four parachutes. The plane then headed for Reno. Scott said it flew at about 180 knots at about 10,000 feet altitude most of the time. Scott said the hijacker did not specify the route.

ASKED if there was any attempt to stop the hijack at- tempt while the plane was on the ground, the first officer, William Rataczak, Burns- ville, Minn., said there was

not. "He relayed his re- quests, and his requests were met," he said.

Scott said one of the most tense moments in the ground halt at Seattle was a delay in fueling, apparently because of a vapor lock in one of the lines.

Miss Mucklow, dicussing the time interval in which the hijacker jumped, said that "right after the takeoff (from Seattle) he said, 'Go to the cabin, pull the curtain, and don't come back.'" She said she obeyed him.
