Default Towered grass
Does anyone know where I can find a grass runway airport with an operating control tower?

Naples FL. You have to sign a waiver before using it.

Not in the NE, but Spinks, in Fort Worth, has a grass strip parallel to the main runway.

Camarillo, California, has an ultra-light runway (paved though).

I always looked at one of the side benefits of a grass runway was not having a tower. Is there a reason you need a combination of grass and a tower?

Are there any towered grass ONLY runways? On the sectional chart they have the symbol for it (a blue circle not filled in, as opposed to magenta) but I doubted one actually existed.
