I love it when a random ranter on the Internet makes up his own suspect.
Today we have Jumper34 from 2019 putting his microscope on Najeeb E. Halaby.
He makes a case for it in a review of Najeeb's 1978 memoir.

LoginThis guy was the head of the FAA, a CEO of a major airline, test pilot, and he parachuted a couple of times. He describes where he was when JFK was shot and when Pan Am 93 was hijacked in great detail. However, he fails to mention he was meeting with President Nixon on the day DB Cooper hijacked flight 305! This book is meant to be his alibi. It is a division. Najeeb mentions briefly that he started out after WWII with the Army Officer of Research and Intelligence, a combination of the OSS and Army Research and Analysis group. He was....a spy, circa 1946.
Halaby talks about his support for the supersonic jet program and how he was the main proponent of the program. The tie left behind by DB Cooper had a very rare type of titanium on it, the kind found in the SSJ program. Halaby was never questioned by the FBI regarding his meeting with Nixon the day of the HJ. Of course, this was the main purpose of my reading the book.
He conflicts himself on numerous occasions. In the beginning of the book he has disparaging words about President Johnson, but changes his tun later in the book about Johnson and his leadership. His dealings with Nixon are the same. he intimates that he can't stand him, yet he brings on a friend of Nixon's to be on the Board of Directors. His statements about Nixon and his staff contradict his actions.
His vacillating on his positions on Nixon are interesting, if you read into this from the perspective that Halaby had something to do with the hijacking. He was CEO of Pan Am during the hijacking and was "fired" exactly 4 months after the hijacking. He went on to form a business that sold airline security equipment and helped other countries come up to US standards in international airline travel.
In 1959, Robert Maheu (of Hughes Aircraft) was setting up King Hussein of Jordan with women in 1959. Of course, Hughes Aircraft is synonymous with CIA. Years later, this former spies daughter married King Hussein of Jordan. Isn't this an odd circle of events?
In response to Pan Am flight 93 being hijacked in Beirut on September 6, 1970, President Nixon signed anti-hijacking legislation on September 11, 1970. Now you know why September 11, 2001, the planes were hijacked.
