Thanks for finding there was no tower there. If the plane departed at the scheduled time of 3:35 and crashed a minute later, the airport personnel didn’t tarry getting the front door locked and gone by 3:30. Maybe it’s just me, but I would have at least waited to make sure my last plane got off ok and would have seen it coming back. Surely, the other airport tower would have had an emergency number for the airport personnel there to report the signal. All the airports around here are little nothings so aren’t staffed after 5, if at all, but they have emergency numbers. Ok, there are mountains but it’s still a strange set of events.
I totally agree, last plane off the tarmac, slam the door and outa there. I can imagine how frustrated the pilot of the chopper must have been, finding the place deserted.
