Hello I am selling a customer a 180 foot Rohn SSV tower, it will be located 4 miles due West of one end of the West runway. The FAA would not give the total 200 feet of airspace I requested, said planes would hit it at that height so they gave me 180 feet. 20 feet, seems kinda crazy to me but that's the Government for ya! They also required that it have red lights at night as well as being painted!
Speaking of which, anyone have anything to say bout the LED red mode compact beacons like Dialight sells?
