D.B. Cooper: Personal Diary

Tomorrow is the big day! After tomorrow, my money problems will finally be solved. No more need for a job or anything! Hopefully, I will be set for life! I don't want to give too much away right now just in case this diary is ever stolen or taken, but tomorrow is going to make history. You know what, forget it! I have worked on this plan for way too long to keep it bottled up. If I may say so myself, it is absolutely brilliant. After planning for this long, it is finally time for someone or something else to know as well.
The beginning of the plan is simple, I am going to buy a one-way ticket from Portland to Seattle. As you will see in a second, there is no reason to buy a ticket back. Once on the plane, I will hand the stewardess a note. I am not going to reveal what the note is going to say, but I will tell you that it will quickly get her and the pilot's attention. The note will be enough to make the entire government do whatever I want them to do, and that includes providing me with a considerable amount of money. Once the plane lands and I collect my money, that is when the real fun will begin.
After taking off once more, I will make sure that the pilot knows exactly what I want from him. There are certain "limitations" that I want placed on the plane to ensure that we are not followed. Finally, to get some privacy I will lock everyone up in the cockpit and "leave the plane". I will have all the equipment necessary to "leave the plane". As to what this means, I will keep that a secret. Let's just say that I expect tomorrow to be remembered for a very long time. Wish me good luck and see you tomorrow.
