The tower you see was decommissioned in 1977; since then, the International Airport’s control tower has overseen Lake Hood as well—more than 800 flight operations every day! You can hear some of the unique vocabulary used by the controllers and the pilots when you listen to the Lake Hood weather report over the phone: 907-245-1618. Pilots internationally use a phonetic alphabet to avoid confusion. A = alpha, B = bravo, etc.
