 Re: NFCT
Willie is a Serco tower even though it was a level II. If I recall all but 2 of the guys that worked it were ex military. It may have just been that I was in and out of that airport all day and I got to know the controllers but I had a much better time dealing with the contract people (there and FLG) then I did the FAA towers. They seemed much more forgiving of student pilots (and CFIs) making dumb mistakes. Doing a few laps on the pattern at IWA versus DVT really showed the difference I think.
