Um...VFR tower guys (the subject of this subthread
is non-radar towers) don't give vectors.

Is there an official definition of a "VFR tower" or a "non-radar
tower"?


Well, you could ask the DOT Inspector General or the Federal Aviation
Administrator for an official definition of a VFR tower. Or then
again,
scratch that- they clearly don't know either....maybe Serco or Midwest
ATC
could give you an answer. :-)

I thought the presentation of unicom as VFR tower during the debate was
classic.


Or "VHF" towers, or "VHS" towers...all of which came up in aviation media
reports about the hearings and debates.

It all left me with a warm fuzzy feeling, thinking these were going to put a
finger in the works.
