Much older story; back in the mid-70s I delivered an Air Force T-33a from

Fairbanks to Anchorage for wing spar modification. They didn't have TSA

then, but the security dorks popped my bailout bottle and wouldn't allow the

parachute in the passenger cabin.





DB Cooper was still fresh in their minds. Any chance the return trip was an Alaska Airlines 727?
