That's interesting. I'm familiar with Ameriflight but don't know any of
the pilots.

I don't think the "City Fathers" have much to do with the radar that is
being installed at Gallatin Field. It's being pushed by "big money", if
you want to call it that. Lots of private jets fly into and out of
Gallatin Field.

I know the controllers at Gallatin Field; some personally, others
because I talk to'em when I fly. To say they are "the worst" is a bit
of a stretch. I could expound on this statement but I won't. I don't
see the reason why. There are some local controllers who are a pleasure
to work with and others who, well, aren't.

Pretty much like most towers, I guess.

If you fly out of BIL then we are, in Montana, neighbors. We'll have to
hook up some time.

Ameriflight, which has a base here, runs a lot of cargo and go into BZN
every day. They say, bar none, the BZN controllers are the worst. The
city fathers are installing a radar there, should be up and ready to go
next spring/summer. We hope to be working it from here at BIL.
Otherwise Salt Lake Center will get it and you guys won't notice one
iotas difference.
