Totally agree. I'll take uncontrolled over non-radar Class Delta, any
day.


Do you think the problem is the tower, or the fact that they tend to have
more traffic?


I think it's a combination of factors.

Mostly I think it's a problem with controllers who *think* they know where
the planes are, based on (often erroneous) pilot position reports, combined
with the limitations of what a guy can see with binoculars.

When you've got a guy directing traffic who has a faulty mental picture of
the traffic in the airspace -- often through no fault of his own -- you've
got a recipe for trouble.

And you often get it, in my experience.
