, How many are active?
* A. Very few.
However, high altitude jumpers in that age group would be extremely limited. These would be officials of jump clubs or parachute governing bodies and/or instructors.
Q. Bringing the age factor into this, would that change your estimate of the excess with which this jump could be performed? EASE
A. No, because of the fact it requires no special physical condition to pull off a jump if you know what you're - doing.
Q. Could you estimate how many residents in the State of Washington or Oregon could have pulled this off?
A. No.

Referenced phone call advised TONY FERNANDEZ suggested as possible subject in this matter. Check with COP RALPH BENEFIEL who knows FERNANDEZ verywell at Longview, Washington reflected that he does not resemble the composite photograph of the hijacker primarily because he is losing hair on the front of his head. A photograph of FERNANDEZ was obtained from Deputy Cowlitz Co. SO BENEFIEL also advised that FERNANDEZ is in and out of Longview Washington and from what he has heard is not here too frequently, He advised he saw him about two weeks ago in downtown Longview but has not seen him since then.

TONY FERNANDEZ is well known to Chief of Police BENIFIELD and FERNANDEZ is presently living in Longview. It is to be noted that his present description closely meets that of the hijacker and his photograph on last arrest does not meet his present appearance. While at McNeil Island subject was a physical culture enthusiast and is in good shape now. Further,
This caper is something that FERNANDEZ is very capable of doing. It is suggested that BENIFIELD might be able to eliminate FERNANCEZ by ascertaining his location last Wednesday night. If not, a photograph of FERNANDEZ, if a recent one can be located, should be exhibited to witnesses.
