Why we have a completely separate civilian and military air traffic control system is beyond me.
Do they have separate systems in the United States? Perhaps the Military could play hard ball and say civilians can no longer use our facilities effective DD/MM/YYYY; is that a possibility if you push too hard?
Maybe a better option is that the Hunter gets itself a new hub, with a fast rail/road infrastructure and becomes a real second Sydney option; not a pretend one?
As for not using "their" tower; well what happens at YSCB; is that still a military base? I heard Terry O'Connor (ASA spin doctor) saying using a temporary tower wasn't an option;
well if the PR man knows that, then they must have had it on the agenda at some stage.
