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.
Yeah, that would be nice. Too bad we can't do that per our ops specs...
Some of the locations will be okay without towers. Some are going to be a royal pain in the butt. TUP comes to mind with all the T-6s coming up there and tying up the approaches in a non-radar environment.
