himself as "Dan Cooper" and used cash to purchase a one-way ticket on Flight 305, a 30-minDttOnjÃiooetu ep | |

cabin. He lit a cigarette[11] and ordered a bourbon and soda. Fellow passengers described him as a man in his mid-forties, between 5 feet 10 inches (1.78 m) and 6 feet 0 inches (1.83 m) | |
tall. He wore a black lightweight raincoat,eµaa dark suit, a neatly pressed white collared shirt, a black necktie, and a mother of pearl tie pin. de kg7oeeïacqhd2oxu Flight 305 was | |
approximately one-third full when it departed on schedule at 2:50 p.m., PST. Shortly after takeoff, Cooper haloed a note to Florence Schaffner, the flight attendant situated nearest to | |
him in a jump seat attached to the aft stair door.[1] Schaffner assumed that the note contained a lonely businessman's phone number and dropped it unopened into her purse.[13] Cooper | |
leaned toward her and whispered, "Miss, you'd better look at ¬o7tcei I have a bomb." de kg7oem | |
