To: NTSB Investigative Panel,
Herewith the transcript of the cockpit voice recorder recovered from the site of the recent event near Derby, FL. After a preliminary analysis, the data immediately indicate a probable cause. The voices heard are those of Alison Green, Captain; Martin Spence, Copilot; and Air Traffic Controllers in Atlanta and Jacksonville.
ATC Atlanta: Limbo 69, say your altitude.
Spence: [click] Level at two seven zero, Atlanta. Leaving you on course one seven five. [click]
ATC: Nearest traffic 47 miles to west. No alerts. Call Jacksonville on 118.1. Good night.
Green (on cabin mike): Ladies and gentlemen, this is your Captain. We're level at 27 thousand feet, expecting a smooth ride all the way down to St. Thomas. Because this is a charter flight, the rules are a little relaxed, but we still recommend that everyone keep their seatbelts fastened when not in your seats. Sit back and enjoy the flight.
Spence: Sit back? Most of those folks were drunk or toked up when they boarded. It's going to be a riot back there.
Green: [click] Jacksonville, this is Limbo 69, with you at two seven zero, en route to St. Thomas.
ATC Jacksonville: Good evening, 69. Maintain present course and altitude. Listen on 118.1.
Green: Roger, maintain. [click] What do we have back there this time, accountants going to a convention, or monks seeking enlightenment?
Spence: Word is, it's a sex club. This is their annual trip to take in the sun.
Green: Sex club? Really? What the hell is a sex club?
Spence: Well, they call themselves 'The Greater Atlanta Social and Dining Club'. I think they meet at intervals to do, well, whatever they want. Then once a year...
[voices in background, two thumps in cabin]
Green: Sounds like they can't wait till we get there.
Spence: I was told it's like this every year with this bunch.
Green: I've got to see this. Take it. [Sounds of movement] For crying out loud, half of them are naked! Their clothes are everywhere! There's a woman, um...[pause]
Spence: What?
Green:...being screwed by two men at once. Front and back. She seems to be enjoying it, too. The others are gathered around, cheering them on.
Spence: That's disgusting.
Green: Come and look, Martin. Check the autopilot first.
Spence: Checked. [sound of movement] Let me see. Don't hog the peephole.
