Default A tower-induced go-round

The bottom line is that we *don't* need ATC for most GA operations.
In fact, as I've stated before, imposing Class D "controlled" airspace
actually reduces safety in many cases.


Yes, you've stated it before, but in no case does Class D airspace actually
reduce safety.


Class D is there because (at some point) your Senator wanted a control
tower in his district.


His district? A Senator's district is a state. What state would not have
any control towers if not for the actions of a Senator?
