I think you might be overestimating the amount of planning that went into 1970s hijackings. One person hijacked a plane with nothing more than a can of bug spray and a lighter. Another was an ex-Green Beret who came to believe that he was at the center of a CIA plot to Assassinate Castro alone. For the most part, hijackings in the 1970s are best described as "clown shoes shit".
