[REDACTED] VANCOUVER B.C. 27 Nov 71.

Re: Hijacking of 727 Jet.

Gentlemen:

A note to suggest that the sky jackers may have parachuted from the plane very early after take-off as the plane turned over Puget Sound. This way he would know exactly where he was - the only time he could be sure where he was. Also he would be landing on water which is far safer
