To answer your concern about landing at a Class C airport, in the
Midwest Class D doesn't usually have radar control. This means that

You know I always thought so to, but out here in CT, I know that HFD Class D
(Hartford-Brainard) must have radar. Cause the controller tells me to ident
now and then -- seems to be that they must have radar, eh? Also, the BDL
approach controllers often hand me off to HFD tower with a non-1200 squawk
code. Seems that the Sectional charts have a bold circled "R" for those
Class D airports that have radar (?) -- HFD does not have that "R", but the
things i mentioned above sure hint towards having some kind of radar
visibility.

That said, they've always given me "report xxxx" position report request
when inbound, never got vectors from them....
