Thanks for mentioning where Bill is these days. I knew him when he was in
CA about 8 years ago, but lost track of him. We were both very active in Los Medicos Voladores
(Flying Doctors) flying medical teams to Mexico to provide free services. Great guy.

The guy who wrote that account should
probably be informed that number of operations is what affects whether a
control tower is at an airport or not, rather than number of accidents.


I should probably keep my mouth shut as I'm not even an official student
pilot yet... but the author of that account is Bill Eldredge, the chief
flight instructor at Wright Aviation (an FBO at GTU). I assume he knows
what he's talking about. Also, AFAIK, GTU has been trying to raise
money for a tower for a while now. I think they increased hangar rates
by a significant amount for just this reason.
