New airport tower needed
“Fresno seeks to rebuild air traffic control tower. Why it’s facing backlash” (fresnobee.com, Sept. 2)
I am no aeronautical engineer, pilot or expert in air traffic control. I love Fresno’s older architectural gems. Too few remain.I love Fresno history. I love Fresno! All this despite still another day hovering near or above triple digits. (In fact, I believe that the excessive heat we suffer summer after summer unites the people of Fresno and our Valley; brings us feeling closer together.)
Concerning FAT’s air traffic control tower, shouldn’t we be most concerned with keeping passenger jetliners from colliding above our Valley or colliding with other aircraft? Doesn’t this enjoy obvious priority to the tower’s architectural significance?…
