I was thinking about a proposal to fix the tower closures. At KHWO we have about 140,000 operations annually. We need about $600,000 to pay our tower personnel. It seems the only way to keep our tower is to charge $5.00 per take-off/landing operation at the airport and this should cover it. Planes doing touch and go's and/or multiple take off and landings on the same day get charged only once per day for the use of the field. Should be easy enough to track and bill through each aircraft's registration or you could just have a credit card on file and the tower just sends along the charge per airport use by the aircraft. It isn't the best or most elegant solution in the world but I guess it will have to do as long as our government officials continue to send millions of dollars overseas for questionable projects or we contine to fund programs to determine why people overeat.
