This is a diverse group from all interest segments. We are dedicated to SERIOUS research into the November 24th, 1971 Hi-jacking of Northwest Airlines Flight 305.

Even though the purpose is to share research information, we allow reasonable speculation as to how the crime was conducted and who (living or dead) may have committed the crime. Also, we are interested in how the $5800 of the ransom found its way to a sandbar on the Columbia River.

We are particularly interested in input from pilots, skydivers, hydrologist, geologist, cartographers, journalist, and law enforcement professionals, however, everyone is welcome to participate.
