For clarification I used to fly in and out if Mildura fairly regularly.

I never disagreed that their shouldn’t be a tower or better separation when an airport hits a certain threshold.

I simply called bull on when you said it’s impossible to see anything out the front of any aircraft that has a couple of hairdryers under the wing or on the tail.
