Date
11/26/71
On this date, the below listed individuals examined a Boeing Aircraft, Type 727, which belongs to Northwest Orient Airlines, and which had been utilized as their flight number 305 on that date. This examination took place at 11:25 P.M. at the Municipal Airport in Reno, Nevada.
Prior to the initiation of this search, information had been furnished to the below agents by a member of the crew who had flown this airplane into the Reno airport to the effect that the unknown subject involved in the hi-jacking of this airplane had been seated in the rear right-hand window seat of this plane.
Upon boarding this aircraft, it was determined that the rear row of seats on this airplane were numbered 18, and the right window seat was designated 18F. On the seat numbered 18E a black clip-on tie was observed. This black tie contained a tie clasp, yellow gold in color" with a white pearl circular stone in the center. The label on this tie indicated it to be a "Towncraft" tie and bore the store name of Penneys Number 3. It further bore a label showing it to be a "Snapper" patent type tie.
The label on this tie indicated it to be a "Towncraft" tie and bore the store name of Penneys Number 3. It further bore a label showing it to be a "Snapper" patent type tie. On the floor directly in front of seat number 18D, the exterior canvas cover for a chest type parachute was observed along with the handle utilized for releasing this parachute. The label on this canvas covering indicated it to be Pack Part Number 4511876B and indicated the date of manufacture to have been October, (year illegible). The flap on this canvas exterior contained a sewn on white label with the notation SSS # 5 and COSS. This flap had also been stenciled with the name JOHNSON.
An opened parachute which apparently had been removed from the canvas parachute cover described above was found spread out over seats 17C and 17B. This parachute was of a pink-orange color.
164-41-846
On seat 18B, an unopened back type parachute was observed. A card in the pocket of this parachute reflected it to be a Conacol type parachute, number 60-9707 and made by the Pioneer Parachute Company. This card indicated it was last inspected on May 21, 1971.

checked the tie counter of that store and exhibited the same type of tie, as to color and material and snap on, but this tie was approximately two and one half times the width of the one shown to him by the reporting agent. He stated that it has been at least a year, and probably a year and a half, since that store handled the narrow type. He advised that these ties are not a dress-type tie but usually worn by working people. He advised that these ties are usually purchased by that store in bulk orders of thirty to forty dozen at a time.
Regarding the tie clasp with the imitation pearl centerpiece, attached to the tie, they concurred in advising that they would have no way knowing where it had been manufactured or sold.

They felt that it was a good posibility that this Individual may have been an instructor at the Survival School which was formerly at Sted Air Force Base near Reno, but this Air Force Baso has been deactivated and the Survival School was moved to Fairchild Air Force Base near Spokane.
