[BC] KFI Tower replacement ?

[nakayle@gmail.com]

 Well I might understand all this legal red-tape if they wanted to build
something new- but they are only replacing a structure that has already been
there for 57 years! (since 1948) and would still be there if it had not been
hit by a plane flying below legal elevation limits.   If the tower was ok
there in 2004 it should be ok there in 2005.
