These little strips don't use a tower. Pilots communicate with each other on unicom.

unicom

First thing I thought of reading on this tiny screen: 🦄

We need a community for keming.

No, you read it right, UNICOM

Or UNIversal COMmunications

Also known as CTAF, or

Common Traffic Advisory Frequency.

Basically the frequency you use when you're in uncontrolled airspace.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
