OK, I'll bite. Name ONE remote tower.

Not the local control, but a lot of the TRACONs which were
in the tower radar rooms have been moved. For example,
BWI's approach controllers are over 50 miles away in the
consolidated Potomac TRACON (which is located in Vint
Hill Farm, an old Army property). It provides control
from Richmond on up to halfway to Philly.

"remote TRACONS" have been in the works for years, waaaay
before 911. The FAA was looking to consoladate facilities in order
to save money. The military has nothing nada zippo to do with it.
