You must be rather uh, privilidged opie LOL. There is no scheduled service allowed at the airport and they have a weight restriction that prohibits anything larger than a Gulfstream V from going in. APA is the airport I did/do all of my flight training at. The airport is gorgeous, the controllers are very pleasant, the airport director is an amazing guy/contact to have. If this is where you are headed, buckle up because there are 4-5 LARGE flight schools on the airfield and 2-3 of them have a great tendancy of producing, lets say, less than qualified pilots. As for the controlling aspect, the controllers are a great group of people who run what can be conservatively labeled one of the busiest airports around in terms of operations... The only crappy aspect is just to the north is Buckley AFB, so that can get a tad interesting... If you have any other questions, PM me and I will answer for ya...

Hey guys,

Can anyone had any more info about this tower?

Also, can anyone tell me who to contact to get a tour of the tower?

And does Denver Tracon handle this airport?

I just realized the other day how close i am to it. And I really like the Parkor area. Would love to work at that tower someday. Anyone know the staffing levels?
