No one’s cutting off heads. You’ve picked up on the Democratic media’s talking points as gospel when they’re not, they’re exaggerations of reasonable first steps of demonstrating a serious intent to do what every other single President said they were going to (including Trump in term one) but lied about.

Did it ever occur to you the people that manage and run that facility didn’t need to close it but they did to make a political point? That’s the more likely explanation.

For 99% of the country, absolutely nothing has changed under the Trump administration other than things have gotten better.

Did they have a manned control tower before this week?

I work for a company with a small private plane and a half dozen times I flew in it, most of the time we landed on runways with no control tower.

In fact, and I didn’t know this, I had to pee once real bad, and it was dark. I mentioned it to the pilot, and he said no problem. He checked his charts, this was before everyone had a cell phone, made a little diversion and started going down, flipped a switch, and all of a sudden runway lights lit up and we landed and there was a small bathroom. Crazy. Rest stop for small planes!

Really?  So what’s it going to take to be a BFD for you?  It was lied about (so much for transparency…that’s only for when it’s convenient I suppose), and it’s NOT fixed.

There are thousands of small airfields across the country that have no control tower, and never did, they don’t need one.  When flying into an air field like that, leaving and arriving aircraft make radio calls on a posted frequency indicating their intentions so everyone can make adjustments & be safe.
To get a control tower an air field needs to have a higher level of aircraft traffic on a regular basis to get a tower.
Think about road intersections, many are uncontrolled, others may have a yield sign, a stop sign, a blinking yellow light, or light signals.  It all depends on the amount of traffic.  When approaching an uncontrolled intersection all drivers are expected to take actions necessary to be safe.  The same applies at uncontrolled air fields.
This has worked well for the100 years of aviation in the US, so no big deal.

Okay, here’s kinda a BFD. Just read Trump’s comments and Zelenskyy. I feel like 99% of what he said is true, but there’s no reason to say.
