bad vectors, no hand off

Flyers,

I just want some of your thoughts on this. My plane partner and I went out
last night to do some practice instrument approaches. He wore the hood and
I was the right-seat safety pilot.

ATC was not too busy and it was a nice VFR night. First, after we asked for
a practice ILS 24 into KPNE they acknowledged our request and then forgot
about us and had us continue flying away from the field for sometime. This
continued until I finally asked if they were going to vector us.

Either way, approach should have handed you off to the tower. But I
am curious - is the approach facility co-located with the airport?

For example, is it PNE approach and PNE tower? Or is the PNE field
serviced by another nearby approach facility?
