The organization made the decision after weighing all options and ensuring safety would not be jeopardized. Not only was Copperstate told it would have to pay for previously provided ATC salaries, overtime, and travel expenses, as was the case at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh, but the FAA also deemed the military surplus control tower that Copperstate has used for the past 10 years "unsuitable for control use."...
