I should probably keep my mouth shut as I'm not even an official student pilot yet... but the author of that account is Bill Eldredge, the chief flight instructor at Wright Aviation (an FBO at GTU). I assume he knows what he's talking about.  There have been more than a few fatal midair collisions at towered airports. A tower will not prevent a MAC. If Mr. Eldredge is really the chief CFI (which I accept from your comment), then he should know that. If you need proof, go to the NTSB aviation accident site and search for midair crashes. Two notable accidents that come immediately to my mind since I began flying in March of 2002 are the fatal MAC at Caldwell, NJ and Carlsbad, CA. -- Peter
