-- FAASafety.gov -------------------------------------------------------- Air Traffic Control Facility Closures Notice Number: NOTC4665 On February 22, 2013, Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood and Federal Aviation Administrator (FAA) Michael Huerta jointly announced the possible impacts of a budget sequestration on FAA operations.  This announcement included notification of potential closure of over 100 air traffic control towers, with those impending closures beginning April 7, 2013.  The FAA has subsequently released a list of 149 control towers that will be closed and the agency has made the decision to keep 24 federal contract towers open, read:  Press Release – FAA Makes Tower Closing Decision. As the probability of these tower closures and reduced operating hours nears, it is important to increase our awareness of proper operating practices and procedures at airports without an operating control tower.  Although we often hear these airports called "uncontrolled&q

HeraldTimesOnline.com Airport tower to stay open until at least September County aviation board to get update on status Tuesday morning By Rachel Bunn 331-4357 | rbunn@heraldt.com March 18, 2013 Monroe County Airport's air traffic control tower, one of hundreds earmarked for closure by the federal government because of budget cuts, may not be on the chopping block just yet. Unlike most of the other towers involved in the shutdown, Monroe County's control tower will remain open until at least the end of the U.S. government's fiscal year on Sept. 30. More than 170 of the towers contracted with the Federal Aviation Administration are set to close April 7. The Monroe County Aviation Board of Commissioners will hear an update on the state of the airport's control tower Tuesday morning, though at this point, saving the tower will be up to the federal government, said airport director Bruce Payton.

    I'd say Hawker builds a pretty strong airplane, both pilots survived and the wings are still ON IT !! From:    Hawker executive jet... snap rolled 3-4 times  It came from Mexico back to FXE, the captain that flew it back was a licensed Mexican pilot, no FAA licenses or ratings. Captain was hired as a contract pilot just for this trip. The co-pilot was from here and he was also just used as a contract pilot to get the plane back here.
