Has anyone flown into Fullerton? How big a problem is the tower?
If you know it's there, it's no problem at all. It is hard to see, especially
on clear days when you are at or above it. It pretty much dissapears into the
urban background. But the circular structure at the base is pretty obvious.
It's slightly offset from the FUL centerline. It's been there since the late
'40s, and it's on the charts, so it should be a surprise to anyone to checks.
The FUL pilots association has been bugging KFI for years to install
multi-level strobes on it, like many other large towers in flat areas. KFI
always insisted that with the existing red light on top, the tower was legal,
and installing new strobes would be too expensive. (but certainly not as
expensive as a new tower will be)
