Used to have similar FSS stations at many airports here in the US. I
remeber one day approaching an airport from a ways out and having the
FSS give me a blow-by-blow (excuse the pun) account as a thunderstorm
approached the airport from the other direction. Not a controller, but
very helpful. I lost the race and landed elsewhere.

Still do up here in AK. Then again, we still have NDB airways too.
