Personally, (as you know) I expected the RFD approach controller to be
on the same sheet of music as the JVL tower controller. They are 25.6
miles apart, and work together hand-in-glove MOST of the time.

Just not that day...


What same sheet of music did you expect them to be on? You were operating
VFR in Class E and D airspace. There was no requirement for you to be in
contact with RFD approach at any time, there is a requirement for you to
contact JVL tower prior to entering Class D airspace, yet you blame RFD
approach for dumping Mary into the Class D airspace. Is RFD approach
directly responsible for the operation of the airplane when Mary is flying?
