Upon hearing the newscasts and reading the papers concerning the skyjacking of a commercial aircraft in Seattle, Washington, on November 24, 1971, 'and upon seeing an artists conception of the individual who perpetrated this crime. advised he believes he talked to a man who closely resembles the subject during July or August 1971. Based upon his conversation with this individual he strongly suspects the man may be the person connected with this crime.
recalled that he talked to this man for approximately ten to fifteen minutes concerning different aspects of parachute jumping and during this conversation the man asked several unusual questions, such as how would one go about jumping out of jets.
recalled that he talked to this man for approximately ten to fifteen minutes concerning different aspects of parachute jumping and during this conversation the man asked several unusual questions, such as how would one go about jumping out of jets. specifically recalls telling the man it could be done if the door of the aircraft opened inward or if it had a rear stairwell that could be raised and lowered. The man appeared interested and they discussed this further, to the point where air speed and drag was talked about. The fact was brought up that full flaps and lowered landing gear would supply the drag needed to exit from a jet.
The man also asked where jump centers were 'located in the northwest. told him about three locations in the State of Washington, one by the Boeing Air Field in Seattle, one on the Washington side of the Columbia River, just north of Portland, Oregon, and the other center inbetween. The man was apparently interested, but did not right down the names or locations of those centers mentioned by

stated it was his opinion that a person contemplating a skyjacking of a commercial aircraft would ask questions such as those purposed.

In addition, they discussed altitude of jumps, but who was thinking in terms of altitude records, answered in terms, implying world record altitudes, oxygen supply, : time and distance of free fall.
also recalled the individual rather vividly in his mind because he wore "Cochrane"boots. He explained that Cochrane boots are peculiar to military jumpers and are not worn by teams, clubs, sport or novice.
He explained that Cochrane boots are peculiar to military jumpers and are not worn by teams, clubs, sport or novice. He stated that serious jumpers wear a French boot and first time jumpers have gone with street shoes, tennis shoes, sandals and even barefooted, but the Cochrane boots were noticable because they are not used by too many people. ... .
He also stated he believed the man may have jumped on several occasions at the Elsinore center. If he did. there would be a registration card on file with
Elsinore Paricenter, Inc. He advised that each person that jumps must fill out a registration card before jumping, regardless of how much prior experience the person has had elsewhere. These cards are maintained at Elsinore Paricenter. On succeeding jumps, the cards are referred to if the individual is not known, and a receipt for jump tickets is given to the jumper with no name or further recording of the jump being made. An individual with prior experience and a license issued by the United States Parachute Association (USPA) would have the USPA license number written on the registration card.

advised that USPA. records are maintained at 1 ! USPA Headquarters, care of Post Office Box 109, Monterey, California. The USPA Headquarters are on Canary Row, Monterey. He pointed out that licenses issued by the USPA necessitate that the applicant furnish a photograph of himself to USPA Headquarters before the license is issued He was not sure if a copy of the photograph was maintained in USPA files. He noted that licenses must be renewed each year.
was unable to recall the name of the man he talked to and was not sure if the man mentioned his name. He estimates. that there have been some 8,000 to 10,000 jumpers at Elsinore since June 1971, the majority repeat jumpers who

On 12/3/71 Elsinore Paricenter, Inc., Parachute Jumping Center located at Elsinore, California, made available registration cards or parachutists who have jumped from the center. SAS EDVARD A. ROMANOFF and reviewed approximately 12,000 cards and picked out those with physical descriptive data matching that of the hijacker, including ages between 35 - 55 years, weight between 150 - 190 and height from 5'8 - 6'2. Also included were a number of younger borderline cards. Four hundred and thirty three registration cards were photographed, representing those jumpers who registered at the Elsinore center since 1969 and fit within the above descriptive limits. -

advised that registration cards prior to 1969 do not contain height data and estimated that there are approximately 18,000 cards on file prior to that year and dating back to 1957.
Copies of the artist's conception and the descriptive data of the unknown hijacker were displayed to pilots, jumpmasters, riggers, mechanics, a dispatcher and to the owners of the jump center and none of them were able to recall anyone similar at the center.

Concerning the individual he talked to sometime during July or August 1971, who believes could be identical to the subject that hijacked the Northwest Airlines aircraft on November 24, 1971, he recalled that the man he talked to must have been a smoker of Raleigh Cigarettes because he observed Raleigh coupons in the man's possession and remarked to him that he smoked those cigarettes with the coupons and could save enough to
have been a smoker of Raleigh Cigarettes because he observed Raleigh coupons in the man's possession and remarked to him that he smoked those cigarettes with the coupons and could save enough to buy a "P. C.", meaning Para-Commander type parachute, the kind used by parachute enthusiasts and most sport jumpers. -
advised he recalled this while studying the Government memorandum containing the description of the man who hijacked the aircraft on November 24, 1971. He further advised that he doubted that the man he talked to belonged to any para- chute or jumping clubs inasmuch as. the average age of jumpers is between 25 to 28 years and they would not hang around with an "old guy like that", and too because most clubs in California have disbanded in the last year and a half.
Concerning clubs and their locations, advised that they could be identified through the U. S. Parachute Asso- ciation which prints a brochure with the clubs in alphabetical order by states.

Concerning an individual who talked to him at Skylark Field at Elsinor, California who resembles the artist's conception of the hijacker of the Northwest aircraft in Seattle on November 24, 1971, stated he has reviewed his thoughts and is certain he can narrow the time span to the middle or late part of August 1971 when this conversation occurred. He still '. believes it was strange that a person would ask questions about jumping out of jet aircraft and discuss air speed then have something like the hijacking that occurred happen a short time later. He also stated that it may be coincedental but he saw an advertisement on pages 46 and 47 of Look magazine dated August 24, 1971 showing a parachutist jumping

Ho stated this may have stimulated questions by someone secing this advertisement, however, he is still concerned since the individual he spoke to resembles the artist's conception of the hijacker.

On 12/10/71, flight records for the month of August 1971 were photographed at the Elsinore center. These records contain the last names of the jumpers, the altitude from which they jumped, the name of the pilot and the date.
These records contain the last names of the jumpers, the altitude from which they jumped, the name of the pilot and the date.
Review of these flight records on 12/14-15/71 re- vealed that the last names on these records matched thirty one individuals whose descriptions matched those of the hijacker and jumped from the Elsinore center during the month of August 1971. It was noted that the last name on the flight record does not mean that the jumper was the person whose registration card was pulled and photographed. It should also be pointed out that there were 29,140 parachute jumps made fron the Elsinore center during the year 1970. The" total number of jumps at the center for the year 1971 exceeds last year's total and will be in excess of 30,000 this year.
On 12/16/71, picked out eight of the remaining thirty one cards stating he personally knows these individuals and they do not remotely resemble the artist's conception. The remaining twenty three cards represented individuals 
does not know or the name was familiar but he could not recall what the man looked like.

recalled that he talked to this man for approximately ten to fifteen minutes concerning different aspects of parachute jumping and during this conversation the man asked several unusual questions, such as how would one go about jumping out of jets. specifically recalls telling the man it could be done if the door of the. aircraft opened inward or if it had a rear stairwell that could be raised and lowered. The man appeared interested and they discussed this further, to the point where air speed and drag was talked about. The fact was brought up that full flaps and lowered landing gear would supply the drag needed to exit from a jet.
The man also asked 'located in the northwest.

In addition, they discussed altitude of jumps, but who was thinking in terms of altitude records, answered In terms, implying world record altitudes, oxygen supply, time and distance of free fall.
also recalled the individual rather vividly in his mind because he wore "Cochrane"boots. He explained that Cochrane boots are peculiar to military jumpers and are not 1 worn by teams, clubs, sport or novice.
He explained that Cochrane boots are peculiar to military jumpers and are not 1 worn by teams, clubs, sport or novice. He stated that serious jumpers wear a French boot and first time jumpers have gone with street shoes, tennis shoes, sandals and even barefooted, but the Cochrane boots were noticable because they are not used by too many people.
He also stated he believed the man may have jumped on several occasions at the Elsinore center. If he did. there would be a registration card. on file with
Elsinore Paricenter, Inc. He advised that each person that jumps must fill out a registration card before jumping, regardless of how much prior experience the person has had elsewhere. These cards are maintained at Elsinore Paricenter. On succeeding jumps, the cards are referred to if the individual is not known, and a receipt for jump tickets is given to the jumper with no name or further recording of the jump being made. An individual with prior experience and a license issued by the United States Parachute Association (USPA) would have the USPA license number written on the registration card.

descriptive data matching that of the hijacker, including ages between 35 - 55 years, weight between 150 - 190 and height from 518 - 6'2. also included were a number of younger borderline cards. Four hundred and thirty three registration cards wore photographed, representing those jumpers who registered at the Elsinore center since 1969 and fit within the above descriptive limits. -

Copies of the artist's conception and the descriptive data of the unknown hijacker were displayed to pilots, jumpmasters, riggers, mechanics, a dispatcher and to the owners of the jump center and none of them wore able to recall anyone similar at the center.

Concerning the individual he talked to sometime during July or August 1971, who believes could be identical to the subject that hijacked the Northwest Airlines aircraft on November 24, 1971, he recalled that the man he talked to must have been a smoker of Raleigh Cigarettes because he observed. Raleigh coupons in the man's possession and remarked to him that he smoked those cigarettes with the coupons and could save enough to buy a "P. C. ", meaning Para-Commander type parachute, the kind used by parachute enthusiasts and most sport jumpers. -
advised he recalled this while studying the Government memorandum containing the description of the man who hijacked the aircraft on November 24, 1971. He further advised that he doubted that the man he talked to belonged to any para- chute or jumping clubs inasmuch as the average age of jumpers is between 25 to 28 years and they would not hang around with an "old guy like that", and too because most clubs in California have disbanded in the last year and a half.

b6 b7C
he has reviewed his thoughts and is certain he can narrow the time span to the middle or late part of August 1971 when this conversation occurred. He still believes it was strange that a person would ask questions about jumping out of jet aircraft and discuss air speed then have something like the hijacking that occurred happen a short time later. He also stated that it may be coincedental but he saw an advertisement on pages 46 and 47 of Look magazine dated August 24, 1971 showing a parachutist jumping out of a jet aircraft. He stated this may have stimulated questions 'by someone secing this advertisement, however, he is still concerned since the individual he spoke to resembles the artist's conception of the hijacker. He does not know the name of the man he talked to and has not seen him since. He did state he believes he would recognize the man if he sees him again.

On 12/10/71, flight records for the month of August 1971 were photographed at the Elsinore center. These records contain the last names of the jumpers, the altitude from which they jumped, the name of the pilot and the date.
Review of these flight records on 12/14-15/71 rc- vealed that the last names on these records matched thirty one individuals whoso descriptions matched those of the hijacker and jumped from the Elsinore center during the month of August 1971. It was noted that the last name on the flight record does not mean that the jumper was the person whose registration card was pulled and photographed. It should also be pointed out that there were 29,140 parachute jumps made from the Elsinore conter during the year 1970.
It should also be pointed out that there were 29,140 parachute jumps made from the Elsinore conter during the year 1970. The" total number of jumps at the center for the year 1971 exceeds last year's total and will be in excess of 30,000 this year.
On 12/16/71, picked out eight of the remaining thirty one cards stating he personally knows these individuals and they do not remotely resemble the artist's conception. The remaining twenty three cards represented individuals does not know or the name was familiar but he could not recall what the nan looked like.
On 12/20/72,
reviewed the remaining registration cards and eliminated ettht more based on personal knowledge of the individual and the fact they are known to the center and do not re- semble the artist's conception.

For the information of Seattle, on 12/16/71 pointed out that on the flight records from Elsinore all the altitudes of jumps made were from 2,500 to 12,500 feet. He explained that sport jumpers and parachute enthusiasts all jump from altitudes in multiples of 1,000 starting fron 2,500, 3,500, 4,500 etc., with the exception of 2,800 which is the competitive height for target jumping. He stated that. the 10,000 foot level is reminiscent of Air Force training. He referred to Air Force phamphlet number AFP 160-10-3 entitled "Your Body in Flight" which places 10,000 feet an the maximum altitude considered safe without oxygen. surmised that a man with Air Force experience may be the type of person that should be considered a suspect.
surmised that a man with Air Force experience may be the type of person that should be considered a suspect.
On the other hand, he pointed out that parachutists have different classes of licenses, A, B, C and D class licenses. To hold a D license a jumper must make two night jumps as well as other qualifications. A person with a D licnose is an experienced jumper.

He then called later and asked if it is possible to determine the identity of the person who drew up the flight chart map from McChord AFB so that he can discuss with them the time schedule and minute variations and locations of the flight at given times during the night.
I contacted SA OLROG and told him to obtain this information and let me know so can be advised.

He said that this had the Bureau somewhat excited since the Laboratory had just compared a letter which they got from the files of the Airlines Pilots Association with the typing on the letters which were sent to the WASHINGTON POST and several other newspapers.
The Lab report says that this is the same style of type and certain limited characteristics suggest the possibility that they may have been prepared on the same typewriter. For this reason they want us to check him out today, if possible, and advise the Bureau by telephone or teletype.
I advised SA to call Spokane and Everett and to check with tion done today. It appears he is still employee and company records may show where he was on the day in question.
