Flew out of there in the 70's with Arrow air services. Stopped using them when Bob Snook had the fatal accident trying to get in in fog in about 1974/5. There was a lot more to see then but good to see the tower is still standing, albeit just a shell. Thanks for the chance to see what it's like now. Takes me back to my 20's. Jim
