Re: UNIDENTIFIED WITNESS FURNISHED INFORMATION
REGARDING CENTURY SKYDIVING TEAM
---
On 12/31/71 an unidentified white male telephonically
contacted SA[REDACTED] at the Portland FBI Office and
desired to know if the FBI is still looking for COOPER, hi-
jacker of the Northwest Airlines aircraft. The caller stated
the FBI should attempt to contact [REDACTED]
[REDACTED] of the "Century Skydiving Team," which
at one time operated at theScholes Airport, Vancouver, Wash-
ington. The caller indicated these individuals would have
information concerning a person who performed with this team.
The caller stated the above persons could furnish the descrip-
tion of the hijacker and they would know the identity of
the hijacker.
---
This individual was asked how he knew this and he
stated he knew and once the unknown subject had been identi-
fied and apprehended his revenge would be complete. He indi-
cated he knew the identity of the person who could be responsible
for the hijacking.

The caller was very incoherent during most of the
conversation and stated at the conclusion of the call, "When
you get the hijacker, tell him it was[REDACTED] who turned
him in to the FBI." The caller then laughed and hung up.
