Default Govt Plates

Ron,

You know well that they've been moving the centers for DECADES. Nice to see
your name on Avsig.

All ATC facilities were moved to remote locations [as much
as possible] including airport towers.



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.
