the John Wayne Tower Pilot/Controller Work Group, and appears in the
Air Guide Publications Flight Guide), KSNA, Santa Ana, California has
an intermediary controller between the Local (tower) Controller and
Departure Control (TRACON) called Radar Advisory. It is likely

The intermediary controller between the Local (tower) Controller and
Departure Control (TRACON) called Radar Advisory is manned by tower
personnel; it is not Departure Control.
