SAC, SEATTLE UNSUB; NORTHWEST AIRLINES FLIGHT 305 PORTLAND TO SEATTLE, 11/24/71 CAA - HIJACKING; EXTORTION On 11/29/71 I talked tol Northwest Airlines, Minneapolis, Minnesota. I pointed out to him that I had examined the log of this flight very carefully and it would appear that the area in which we are currently searching is the most logical one to search. However, I was curious to know if the pilot would be able to detect a difference in the trim of the plane, caused by the added weight brought about through the hijacker's descent on the stairway, said this would very likely be detected by the pilo#? Ke it not for the fact that the plane was on ‘automatic p#lo during the flight, which he des- and was unable to‘detect any similar occurrence in the airplane at the site we are presently searching. He advised of this very likely there would be no other logical place SEC ED to commence a search at this time.
