EARL JAY COSSEY, 349 N. 101st, SU 3-0475, the individual who packed the original parachutes used by the hijacker, was contacted 1/4/72, at which time he advised he had made over 2,500 parachute jumps, and has 10 years experience. He is a Master Parachute Rigger and has trained 1,000 other individuals in parachuting. He has a "D" rating as an expert parachutist with the American Association of Parachutists with "Diamond Wings Award".
He is a pilot with 350 flight hours and has flown as large a plane as co-pilot with Lockheed Lodestar, a two engine plane. He was born 8/30/38 at Oakley, Utah. He has a college degree in Psychology from Weber State College, Logan, Utah, in 1966. He is now studying for his Masters Degree at the University of Washington and has his own parachute jumping equipment. He is a WMA, 5'7", 160 lbs., and when dressed for a jump such as this would weigh over 200 lbs., and probably about 220, which is comparable to the weight of the hijacker, with the money.
