The fueling was being stalled, and he was getting edgy, figuring someone was planning some kind of stragey in an effort to shoot him or some- thing. One of the pilots brought out the money and the two parachutes he bad ordered. A stewardess came back with the money in a canvas log to where cooper was hokling another stewardess as hostage in the rest of the passenger cabin.
Cooper checked out the loot, Urst thing and noticed that they recked of duplicating flud. Then the stewardess made two more trips out on to the run way to bring in the chutes.
Then one of the fuel trucks pulled up ... then he ord- ered the passengers off the plane, and everyone else into the cockpit ... a middle-aged, executive looking man started to push his way back through the line into the tourist cabin. Cooper tensed up expecting the quy to try something heroic - but he had just left his briefcase on his seat and was retrieving it.

Everybody but the stewardess he was holding hostige and the three man crew was clear of the plane. Buzzing the cockpit he asked the caplain what ere hold-up was.

Cooper almost blew his cool. he went forward to the cockpit and told the captain it was take off time, and to take the plane to Mexico.
The plane was again alrborn at 7:40 por four hours and fourty two miloutes after leaving Portland,
Tho parachutes were unacceptable so he decided to jump without a reserve chute .. he cut the extra chute up and used the strips to tic the money to his waist Next he took the stewardess forvard and ordered the captain to lock the door from the inside. Then he returned alt, closing the first class and tourist compartiments behind him.
