He also showed a fair famili- arity with airline aircraft operation. It is possible that “D. B. Cooper's” path may have crossed that of airline personnel at some time under another name. He expressed a bitter hatred for the airlines and may have worked for one. From descriptions furnished by those involved, the FBI has provided the following description and artist drawings of “Cooper” in the hope that ALPA members and other readers may be able to furnish some lead as to his whereabouts, dead or alive: Race: White Age: Mid-40s _all conference papers and the 1972 editions of the NAS Policy Summary and the 10-year plan.
