I like my privatized airport :)

In the communications section of the airport's listing of the A/FD,
immediately following the tower frequency. You'll find FCT for an FAA
Contract Tower, NFCT for a non-federal control tower, and nothing at all for
an FAA tower. My NE A/FD is a bit out of date, but it shows LNS to be an
FAA tower.

Ah, okay, I had to look around a bit, but I found some examples of this.
ASH is a FAA Contract Tower, and it looks like MTN is a contract tower
part of the time, and a non-federal control tower some of the other time.
At least, that's my interpretation of listing for MTN ... I wonder why
that is?

Man, it seems like every time I look at the A/FD, I find something new.

It has to be an error. Note that the hours of operation as an FCT coincide
with the Class D hours. I suspect this was an NFCT that became an FCT, and
the "NFCT" mysteriously remained in the A/FD.
