used to be.. that all ATC facilities had to keep "tapes" and paper records
for 30days..
after that they could be reused.. if they wait more than 30days to file a
complaint..
I would think they don't have a case.

Without the tapes they can't prove you violated an instruction.

Sure they can. It's the Bravo tower that will write you up for violating
their airspace. In this case, it becomes "convenient" for them to not be
able to locate the tapes from the Delta tower you were talking to. His
tapes could vindicate you, if you were acting under the assumption the
two are in communication with each other, or at least you were following
ATC instructions. If these tapes are "unavailable", then you just strayed
into calss B, with no justificfation or defense.
