Cooper hijacking of Northwest Airlines Flight 305 on November 24, 1971. Body of the teletype referencing a prior Portland teletype from December 2. Los Angeles was requested to conduct an inquiry to identify a person closely resembling the UNSUB. On December 3, an interview or inquiry was conducted.
