[REDACTED] provided five reels of magnetic recording tape which contained a copy of the recorded transmissions between Northwest Airlines Flight #305 and the Sea-Tac Approach Tower on November 24, 1971. These tapes covered all transmissions between Flight #305 and the Tower while the airplane was in a 30 mile radius of Sea-Tac.

According to [REDACTED] these recorded tapes were obtained by him from [REDACTED] on December 3, 1971. The original tapes are maintained under the supervision of [REDACTED]

The transcriptions of the various tape recordings do not show a time for each transmission; however, each tape does show the time at which the tape began and at which time it ended. The times were maintained in Greenwich Mean Time and for convenience in reading these logs, an insertion is made in these logs to Pacific Standard Time.
