Mr. Cooper boarded the boeing 727 with a briefcase and took seat 18c in the back of the plane.Flight 305 took off on time at 2:50pm leaving portland for an interesting flight.Shortly into the trip Dan passed a note to Florence schaffner.At first she didn't open it thinking it was just a lonely business man's phone number.
