"Jay Honeck" wrote in message news:mdspc.6907$qA.776955@attbi_s51... We're talking about tower-controlled airspace here, methinks. We're talking about towers in Class D airspace. Most of them do not control the airspace. Are there any Class E towers? Yes, but a tower in Class E airspace is always a temporary situation. It's either a temporary tower set up for some special event or a new tower in an existing Class E surface area that will eventually become Class D airspace.

I forgot about those "grain-truck" towers the FAA sets up from time to time. Always feel sorry for them, out there baking in the hot sun... We get one each year in Iowa City, for our annual fly-in breakfast.

If I fly all the way there, I expect lunch and maybe even an afternoon snack as well.

snack as well. Heck, I'll even throw in a cold beer! Oops -- I'm contributing to the delinquency of a pilot again. Sorry... ;-) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"

Has heat and A/C.
