TxDOT airport funding

TxDOT to fund Tyler and 12 others Texas Airport Control Towers on the closure list.

Is there a posted list of which these will be? GTU?

Not a done deal yet, but: Georgetown, San Marcos, New Braunfels, Brownsville, Easterwood Field College Station, Waco, Lone Star Executive Houston, Dallas Executive, Sugarland Regional, Stinson Muni San Antonio, Collin County Regional, Tyler Pounds Regional and Victoria Regional.

Our Governor here is speaking out about this as well, looking for support for state support for those that are being closed here.

I was surprised at the list as it included Timmerman and Waukesha towers. Those are some pretty busy airports to not have tower control at.

That is excellent news if they are able to pull it off!

Go Texas

The Great Texas Succession starts. Next they will start hoarding gold to form their own currency.

"the eyes of texas are upon you"

and the rest of us are watching as well.

Go Lone Star State!

Not to be politically incorrect, but...

i know and use a couple of these towers and frankly they are underworked. had the projected traffic increases come about, maybe things would have been different, but the fact is there just isn't enough traffic - or high speed traffic MIX - to support New Braunfels for sure, and probably others in the area. If folks use standard pattern procedures, in my opinion, safety
is not compromised.

i am not unbiased, tho: if new braunfels were non-towered, i'd take my NO-RAD CUB over there on saturday mornings for breakfast...

to paraphrase others, just my two cents worth...
