I think it means that only the most elite pilots fly into MHK. No control tower necessary for them.

Other way around.
Will make sitting 1,000 yards from restricted airspace interesting though. :dance:
But most approaches tune to marshall to get vectored around it so I doubt it will even matter, mhk gets less traffic than salina.

Regardless, these are contract towers. Meaning the airports don't even meet the minimums for an FAA staffed facility. If they ever do meet those minimums, the FAA will staff it.
Nobody in the aviation community in concerned outside of the FAA (dramatic bitches), some find it to be a relief.
In fact, if the Essential air service bill ever gets yanked you might even see AE beef up operations in MHK. :thumbs:

K-State has a great aviation program based at KSU-Salina. Another reason we're superior to KU.
