This was waiting for me on Saturday am when I opened the tower for a weekend service. Looks like we are going to have to spend some time and money on repairs. I could here the inspection crew asking for tower lock combos for the towers that are now rentals for campers/tourists

Is it the Federal Aviation Administration or an inspector with the initials F.A.A.? It’s hard for me to tell from the tag, but the top part says that it’s a Forest Service inspection.

All I see is that it says “Inspected by FAA”
