  | Re: GKY Tower It opened 5 months ago (I called the airport managers office, they said sometime in June. I don't believe it)

|  Re: GKY Tower Whaaaat?!?! I know it's been a while since I've been there, but I didn't expect this! So I guess no more "accidental" departure procedures on IFR flight plans that takes the pilot over DFW.  Neil

| Re: GKY Tower Hmmm unless my instructor and I are breakin da law, the tower is not yet open. It's a nice tall tower......no word on when it will open. Sure would be nice though, every now and then pilots who are very hard to understand mumble their intentions. This sends us scrambling to look around us to find them. |

| Re: GKY Tower (The tower isn't really open, but the joke is that it opened 5 months ago, which was when it was scheduled to open. This is also known as running on government time)

| Re: GKY Tower I'll believe when the airspace violations start rolling in. We were gonna start a pool on how many violations there were going to be in the first week. In June, they'll tell you it will be open in October.

| Re: GKY Tower Oh no. What'll the unicom people do? They might have to go drink their coffee somewhere else! I'll be glad to never hear "Can I get an airport advisory?" again. I told one guy (after the Unicom people left) "Advise you listen to ASOS."

I saw a brochure over at the terminal building for Arlington Airport. It was talking about how the airport is expanding and a is scheduled to have a tower opening in 2004. That is government time at its finest. | |
