Dick,
You continue to argue for arguments sake.
You have been proved factually wrong several times.
You refuse to acknowlegde when you have been proved wrong.
To answer your questions - yes, if suitably qualified, Tower controllers can use radar to provide separation. Yes they have the correct equipment - they have almost exactly the same displays as the Approach Controller.
If you were on Approach Frequency - how do you know you were held because of Tower Requirements? Do you in fact , KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE SITUATION DEFINATLVELY?
You have effectively defamed the senior leadership of the ADF with yoru vitriole.
Once again - I state, categorically:
YOU ARE BENEATH COMTEMPT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You continue to prove (and trust me, we don't require confirmation) that you in fact an utter fool.
Come on moderators - you will probably ban me for this, but you should:
Ban the fool who started this thread - step up/harden up!!!!
(PS - and if you continue to let fools like Dick post **** like this - I don't care for this site anyway)
Dick - go buy a yatch or something....get another hobby (because I was a proffessional ATC, where you have NEVER been more that a hobby pilot.................)
