Tied Down
Apparently the FAA can afford temporary towers for unscheduled firefighting activity, but can't afford tower controllers for the world's largest fly-in that's on the calendar every year.
Retardedness aside...
Heads-up Colorado folks. Temporary tower at KDRO.
Oh, and the NOTAM was first received here from the Colorado Division of Aeronautics, not the FAA notification system. Maybe they're too broke to use that system too. :shrug:
