Here are the towers in our system that will be closing:
IAD System:
CKB
LWB
ATL System:
GLH
TUP
MEI
LWB
CLE System:
PKB
Montana System:
None
It should be noted that the only control tower in the Montana system was BIL
Florida System:
None
In other words, pretty much all of our outstations that had towers will no longer. A notable exception is MGW, which is not on the list.
Who cares? UNV, AOO, BKW, SHD, JHW, BFD are all places we flew to at Colgan without towers.
CKB and HPN had limited hours. I remember going into HPN being #4 after 11pm and you had to just figure it out. CKB we used to depart prior to the tower opening which was a pain in the ass.
Some guys would have no issue just blasting off VFR in the Saab and getting the clearance in the air.
