February 1, 1972
Re: Your letter of Nov. 29th, '71
Dear Mr. Milnes:
Thank you for expressing your appreciation of my observations. I see someone else had observations along the same line and put them to good use in a later hijacking. I fail to see, however, why the Air Force allowed the parachute bugging to be printed in the papers.
I hear now there is great alarm concerning the number of hijackings recently. Among other things, I'm sure another escape is feared. I have given this matter some thought, and therefore, I have another observation you might benefit from:
The only obvious deviation from the established pattern "Mr. Cooper" used that has not been tried is to actually jump from the plane with the hostage. If the hilfacker has a small plane or car as an escape vehicle and a pre-determined jump-site, he could pull it off.
If the hilfacker has a small plane or car as an escape vehicle and a pre-determined jump-site, he could pull it off.
Parachutes can be designed to control the rate of descent via draft holes in the top center of the silk, I believe. Therefore, the way to foil the escape would be to radically vary the descent factor of the parachutes. ie: one drops quickly, one floats for a long time. This would separate the hijacker from his hostage and foil his drop; meanwhile helicopter teams could rescue the hostage, subdue the hijacker, while the Air Force could track the escape vehicle.
This idea would probably not work as smoothly as presented here, but it is a way to stop such an occurrence. You may rest assured I keep these ideas to myself, and for added credulence, I was granted a security clearance while employed at the Boeing Co.
Thank you for your time. I don't expect you to reply to this letter. Just keep it in your hip pocket, just in case.

Re: HIJACKING OF NORTHWEST AIRLINES FLIGHT #305, NOVEMBER 24, 1971
Dear Sir:
This will confirm an opinion given on February 3, 1972, by Assistant United States Attorney to Special Agent CHARLES E. FARRELL of this office, concerning parachutes which were involved in this case.

The hijacker of Northwest Airlines Flight #305 was given four parachutes while the plane was on the ground at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. Two of these parachutes were apparently used by the hijacker when he parachuted from the plane.
b6 b7c
The hijacker of Northwest Airlines Flight #305 was given four parachutes while the plane was on the ground at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. Two of these parachutes were apparently used by the hijacker when he parachuted from the plane. The remaining two parachutes were still on the plane when it landed at Reno, Nevada. One of the parachutes was intact, but the other had been opened and three of the shroud lines had been cut.
Northwest Airlines, Minneapolis, contacted the Seattle Office on February 3, 1972, to inquire as to the disposition of the two parachutes which had been left on the plane. advised he has been receiving inquiries from the person who supplied the parachutes either to have the parachutes returned to him, or have Northwest Airlines pay for them.

when the above facts were discussed with him, advised that no evidence, which includes both of the parachutes, should be returned at this time, as this
