Yes, in order for a towered Airport to be class "D" it must have
surface based weather observation cabability, if not it is class "E"
and in some cases class "G" airspace.


That's not correct. All surface areas, Class B, C, D or E, require weather
reporting capability.


You're right..I stand corrected, I got mixed up with the fact that
when a tower at a class "D" airport shuts down for the evening, the
airspace reverts to class "E" with controlled airspace starting at
700' or 1200'. I started typing before thinking :-)
