I should probably keep my mouth shut as I'm not even an official student

flight instructor at Wright Aviation (an FBO at GTU). I assume he knows
what he's talking about.

There have been more than a few fatal midair collisions at towered
airports. A tower will not prevent a MAC. If Mr. Eldredge is really the
chief CFI (which I accept from your comment), then he should know that.

If you need proof, go to the NTSB aviation accident site and search for
midair crashes. Two notable accidents that come immediately to my mind
since I began flying in March of 2002 are the fatal MAC at Caldwell, NJ
and Carlsbad, CA.
