Re : SUSPECT - JAY WHITEFORD
WHITEFORD became a suspect on the basis of information furnished by the Mercer Island Branch of the Seattle-First National Bank, due to the fact that WHITEFORD is in the aerial photography business and had made application for a $50,000 loan prior to the hijacking, and although the loan was turned down about a week after NORJAK, WHITEFORD seemed to be quite unconcerned, although the lack of money would be quite injurious to his business. Further WHITEFORD is a pilot and because of his business in map making, is familiar with the terrain in the State of Washington.

On December 3, 1971, WHITEFORD appeared at the Mercer Island Branch to discuss business with and at this time Mr. WHITEFORD's right hand was bandaged. When questioned by as to the nature of his injury, WHITEFORD replied that he had merely taken a tumble.
It should be noted that WHITEFORD is a pilot and be- cause of his aerial mapmaking business, would be very familiar with high altitude flying and the terrain around the area of where NORJAK took place.

got on Northwest Orient Flight #45, Minneapolis to Seattle, on Monday, September 13, 1971. A person got on the plane at Billings, Montana, approximately 8:00 a.m. This person is hereafter referred to by as "the pilot." The pilot got off the plane to stretch at Great Falls and upon returning to his seat for the flight to Missoula, Montana, and the pilot struck up a conversation.
" The pilot got off the plane to stretch at Great Falls and upon returning to his seat for the flight to Missoula, Montana, and the pilot struck up a conversation. While flying over the Great Falls area,
asked the pilot if he knew the identity of any of the buildings below them. The pilot identified many of the buildings, indicating that he had flown over the area many times in the past. In addition the pilot told
the requirements for landing an aircraft at a field such as that required in Great Falls, Montana. Through conversation it was obvious to that the pilot was familiar with then asked both Missoula and Great Falls airports. about the aircraft which was a 727 and asked the pilot if there was a built-in skid that hit the ground every time on the take-off which produced a characteristic noise. The pilot then responded, no, that the noise heard was the landing wheels being brought up at the exact moment when the pilot begins his climb. This led to a discussion of the 727 aircraft.

It was a hell of a thrill." then said one word "Thailand?" at which time the pilot responded "something like that" (indicating no). The pilot further stated that he hadn't been able to get a job flying 727 aircraft as a civilian due to his lack of flying hours. emphasized the point that the pilot continually used the word personnel rather than soldiers and it was noted that it was not certain whether the pilot was flying for the military or possibly the CIA.

The pilot got off the plane to stretch at Missoula, Montana. While the pilot was off the plane another man took his seat, at which time the pilot went to the forward cabin upon returning to the aircraft. The aircraft made an unscheduled stop at someplace which as Sandpoint, Idaho. The pilot got off the plane at this un- scheduled stop as well and exited the aircraft in his shirt- sleeves. When the pilot came back aboard the aircraft he entered with four men who were all dressed identically. It is believed by that these men were either para- troopers or smoke jumpers, both of which it was learned by have camps within a radius of 30 miles of Sandpoint, Idaho. When these four men came aboard, one woman seated on the aircraft reacted by screaming. Another man yelled "What the hell is going on." "A bunch of motorcycle hoodlums?" stated that one of the individuals mumbled something like "We're paratroopers" but the wording at this point was incoherent.
" stated that one of the individuals mumbled something like "We're paratroopers" but the wording at this point was incoherent. Whatever was said satisfied the man and woman who both apologized. The pilot took two of these men forward and said that he could arrange for two of them to sit up front with him (the pilot). The other two men sat in the rear of the plane. One of the individuals who went forward with the pilot, it is felt like looked a great deal like the artist's conception of the hijacker. The man who could have been the hijacker was described by follows:

Height:	6' 1" to 6' 2"
Build:	Thin
Facial features:	Narrow
Hair:	Covered by cap
Weight:	Unable to determine
Wearing Apparel:	Black coat made of a

stated that he could not hazard a guess as to the person's age as he was able to see very little of the person who could have been the hijacker. The voice was described as being very low, and very smooth. The pilot was described-by as follows:

Weight:	170 pounds,
Build:	Trim in appearance
Face :	Solid face, round, with

It is
contention that the hijacker "is a person who had jumped at some time with technical construction and/or aid in navigation, speed of plane, setting of wings, and use of explosives. Someone who had flown that kind of plane before may have accidentally or purposely passed this information on to the hijacker.

the smoke jumpers who boarded the plane at Sandpoint, Idaho. The pilot and the man that looked like the hijacker both sat in the forward cabin and it is quite possible that the pilot discussed the operations of the 727 aircraft and the requirements for jumping from same, while seated with the two smoke jumpers.
stated that he wrote to Senator JACKSON because he felt that the hijacker would never be identified until information was obtained from the CIA. stated that if the FBI were to locate and identify the pilot, then the CIA would have to identify this
stated that if the FBI were to locate and identify the pilot, then the CIA would have to identify this man as having been a pilot for the CIA and admit that they have been dropping personnel in Southeastern Asia. stated that this could have serious political implications when it is learned by the Chinese and could ruin the upcoming visit by President NIXON to China. stated that as a result of the hijacking we were to uncover this activity by the CIA, this could be the biggest blunder since the U2 incident. It is for this reason that feels we will never get to the bottom of the hijacking and solve it until possibly after the proposed conference by President NIXON in Mainland China.
At one point during the interview, made reference to past activity in writing for Communist news- papers. claimed that he at one point wrote a report which had been used by the Intelligence Division and which had been hand-delivered by the Governor of the State of Washington to then President HARRY TRUMAN.

Dear Senator Jackson ::
Your staff may scream not to touch this request with a ten foot pole,, but as a former prosecutor yow might have an answer forthcoming ..
Ask the C .. IT.A .. (Central Intelligence Agency)' if they: or any of their operating companies have ever trained pilots,, personnel to fly Boing 2727's in low level flight dropping personell and supplies in other inaccessible places ..
Ask them how many pilots they have thus trained ??
Ask them how many of these men have returned to private life?"
Ask them if they ever used these places to drop- Taiwan personnel' over south China?"
This has to do with the $200,,000 hi jacking of a 727 ...
In Sept .. on a 727 Northwest Orient flight from Minneapolis to Seattle,, with a seat partner from Miles City TO Missoula,. who said he had flown a 727 "for the military" and madsnumerous low level' drops of personnel and supplies. Had he ever jumped from a 727?" "Yes, we all had to jump in training .. It was a hell of a thrill." '
But Boeing's POR .. man fairly screamed- there hasn't been. a single 727 in the military Inventory .

But Boeing's POR .. man fairly screamed- there hasn't been. a single 727 in the military Inventory .. There hasn't been a single military pilot trained in a 727,. nor have they ever been used in jump school .. No,, there has never been a flight manual prepared,. tolling how to set flaps for jumps. If the military hade;ver used such a program,, we would have had a screaming headline and a full page story with pictures ..
At Sandpoint,. Idaho, this "pilot""got back on the plane with four identically dressed mon,, whom I believe were U.S. D.A .. "Smoke jumpers"". Two of them sat across the aisle, and the other two went forward where the pilot said he could arrange for them to set together and talk .. One of them fits the height -. 6'LI"" to 6'-2"; and slim ..

Boeing tells me there are no 727's in the military inventory. That there are no flight training manuals ou files and speed for " personnel"drops, and that the listings of the C.I.a (Central Intelligence agency) and its two private firms are classified information and they do not have it.

But this man said he had piloted for jumping- and jumped. Do your loading sheets show her was sold a ticket at "Milio City, to Seattle- Sept 13, av ow a return? Does it show as name? This name might be checked for a pilots licence.
2. The real howler.
When I saw the sketch of the he-parker, I really did a double-take, but it took a bet to know why. This "pelot" got off the flames at Sandpoint, Idaho. He got back on with 4 (four) persons all dressed identically in black outfits and the same googles as the sketch. It caused as few comments aloud. The jackets were all shing beach plaster or leather and to the brees: Two of the new sat in the backrow, acesse the aisle. The "pilot" told the other two to come forward with her, and he would arrange" so they could set together. If the"pulat" was 5' 10', the man who followed him was 6 " 1 0 6 -2 .

DB COOPER-47108Stewardess - 3 De 7. 1971
I believe the man had gone into the forward section of the plane . Down the stewardess remember getting theme seated together?
What military installation is at Sindport, Idaho? Paratroopers?
a man who filatel a 127 to drop personnel, talking to any paratrooper as casually as he did me, could pass on information how to fly a drups.
The F. B. A. has no casual access to C.D.a. personnel files. If I had a name, bould get verification just as easily through Senator Jackson as they could. In fact, they probably wouldn't even ask the national security council to clean them to ask - unless all through that territory the man has told the same story. Curiosity killed the cat , who had nine lives. I have lost enough of mine through curiousity, I should know enough not to ask. But Jams.

DB COOPER-47110 Your hijacker - A "smoke jumper" probably, whose I.D. might be in the personnel files of District 6, U. S.D. Ag, Portland. A person probably who had done some jumping, fits the general description, and was seen in company of a person who claimed to have piloted a 727 on several missions to drop "personnel and supplies" and who had jumped from a 727 "in training we all jumped. It was a hell of a thrill, " who could have inadvertently 'or deliberately given the technical information.
It was a hell of a thrill, " who could have inadvertently 'or deliberately given the technical information. He, the pilot, would have to have been an employe of the C.I.A. or one of its private companies. To have known "smoke jumpers" he might also have flown for the USDA during fire season.
When I first saw the sketch of the hijacker, my reaction was "I have seen that man." Then I said aloud,' "impossible." But on later recall, I believe yes - it fits the pattern.
Flight 45, Northwest 727, Monday, September 13. "The Pilot" got on at Miles City. Stewardess put a "Seattle" pin on the back of the seat. He did not occupy the seat after Missoula, and the stewardess removed the pin after Sand Point.
At either Missoula or Sand Point, four persons got on with this "pilot, " who caused quite a commotion by their identical dress. The man directly behind me objected violently, and asked "what the hell's going on." And that is when I am sure I looked into a face similar to the one in the sketch, as he replied -
DB COOPER-47111
(more) "knock it off.
" And that is when I am sure I looked into a face similar to the one in the sketch, as he replied -
DB COOPER-47111
(more) "knock it off. We each purchased one seat .- and that's all you bought." One of the others murmured a word which I thought might be "paratroopers" but probably was "smoke jumpers. " The man apologized.
The voice was about two to three notes below normal. Even and pleasant. And even the words, "knock it off" had no rasp or harshness.
The costumes were totally black. Leather or shiny plastic. The coats hung from shoulders to knees, straight without any form fit. The caps were a half-kepi. Instead of a bill the right edge was twisted into an upright piece in the middle of the forehead.
All wore the type glasses in the sketch. At the hinge, the earpiece was wide, but of a lacy pattern. No part of the eye visible.
Two of them sat in the back seat left. The "pilot: said to the others to come up front, and he would "arrange" so they could sit together, and talk. So I got a height comparison. The pilot about 5' 10".
The "pilot: said to the others to come up front, and he would "arrange" so they could sit together, and talk. So I got a height comparison. The pilot about 5' 10". The next one 6' 1" or 6' 2" and slim, slim. The third man 5' 11" or 6", and broader.
Questions ---
1. Is there a military specialty center, or hospital at Sand Point - for either survival training, jumping or recuperation?
DB COOPER-47112
(more)2. I am told there is no Dept. of Ag. smoke jumpers camp at Sand Point, but there are at least four in Montana and Idaho, all of whose personnel records are at Portland.
3. I think I recall an article on Smoke Jumpers, where it described the outlandish costumes some units adopted.
4. If the C. I. A. or its companies used a 727 for personnel drops why keep it classified information? If they have, the Chinese intelligence would certainly have known it by now. How many pilots or jumpers have returned to private life?

He particularly noted the hairline, stating that if the hair in the photo- graph observed was marcelled as was the hijacker's, it would be an exceptionally good likeness. He further noted strong similarities in the high cheekbones, the long nose, and eyes as he remembered the hijacker.
He was unable to determine from the photograph the complexion of CATALANO but again emphasized the hi- jacker had a swarthy or Latin type complexion and it appeared to him CATALANO might have such a complexion. He would prefer to see a color photograph and additional photographs `of CATALANO.
