Border Patrol pilot stops hijacked jet nine-hour ground ordeal
Ed Parker a Border Patrol pilot with over 10,000 flight hours faced a nine hour ground standoff on Aug 3 1961 in El Paso to stop a hijacked Continental Airlines jet bound for Cuba. Parker and officers offered a swap to a smaller plane but the Beardens were overpowered aboard a DC6 and the crisis resolved with all aboard safe. Parker later notes autogiros aided patrols but he favors no more autogiros and remains active in the service.
