Recognizing the dangerous situation created by a 760’ radio antenna tower 1.5 miles from the Fullerton, CA, airport, AOPA has announced that it …”will work to ensure that the tower will not be a hazard in the future.” Two people were killed when their Cessna 182 collided with the tower December 19, 2004, destroying the tower.
An earlier accident in 1970 resulted in one fatality. Both accidents occurred in day VFR. The tower has never been lighted since its erection in 1947.
Both AOPA and USPA will oppose any reconstruction of the tower.
