The tower had already reported being closed. The Air/Ground operator was just about ready to start. Even if he/she was in the full swing of things they have no control over you any way. YPJT was still effectively a MBZ. It was the clubs pilot at fault (although i do understand the circumstances surrounding the accident were difficult for the 172 pilot), but obviously the RWAAC has to be responsible for the cost. No one else was at play here.
This is typical of the areo club
