Re: UNKNOWN SUBJECT; Northwest Airlines Flight #305, Portland to Seattle, November 24, 1971 CAA - HIJACKING; EXTORTION

Dear Sir:
Northwest Airlines Flight #305 enroute from Portland, Oregon, to Seattle, on November 24, 1971, was hijacked and a ransom demand made of Northwest Airlines for $200,000.
The hijacker instructed that the $200,000 as well as four parachutes be ready by 5:00 PM, on November 24, 1971.
Northwest Airlines then arranged with Seattle-First National Bank, Seattle, to make the $200,000 available and the same was microfilmed for later evidentiary use. The film is now in possession of the Seattle Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Very truly yours,
J.E. Milnes, Special Agent in Charge
