What could be more romantic than long airport lines and a TSA pat-down? It seems one couple was feeling so “in the mood” after the sexy airport experience that they couldn’t even make it through a 90-minute flight without having to get intimate, much to the horror of the other passengers trapped on-board with them. Fox 12 News reports that Christopher Martin and Jessica Stroble were arrested after getting off (literally) a flight from Medford, Oregon, to Las Vegas.

The couple was apparently in such a rush to join the mile-high club that they couldn’t even make it to the bathroom. According to witnesses on the flight, the duo performed multiple sex acts on each other in their seats in full view of the other passengers. (Martin was sitting in the window seat and Stroble was sitting in the middle seat.) The Oregonian quotes the affidavit against the defendants, as saying that two passengers told investigators that Martin and Stroble performed sex acts on each other and exposed genitalia three times during the flight—as the plane took off, during beverage service, and towards the landing. Two flight attendants reportedly told the couple to stop.

In the cold morning after, Martin and Stroble now face federal charges of lewd, indecent, and obscene acts on an airplane.
