Tower Visit (Photos)
« on: May 27, 2009, 02:44:08 PM »
I managed to get a small tour and take some pictures in KPUB tower.  KPUB used to be a small quite class D airport where controllers retired.  Then Doss aviation arrived there and things changed....


   

Small tower.



A long stairway going up (down).



Here's main equipment of controller; radar, wind direction instrument and wooden tracker with cards.  Ground would give a card to whichever controller is responsible for runway. That controller would move card around depending on location of aircraft.  Note: this is special procedure for this tower only...



Good visibility from up-high



A rare visitor; a large jet with convicts.



Jet is going to 35 past mighty DA20C that are doing run-ups



Another rare sight; military choppers.  They went right under patter and made controllers make few comments regarding 'cluelessness'



Hover taxi.
