Capito Questions Secretary Duffy at Appropriations THUD Subcommittee Hearing

Published | Video Starts at 02:59

It's owned and operated by the airport, not by the FAA or a contract entity. And therefore it's been ineligible previously for federal grant programs. I'll just tell you, our approach lighting system was built in 1960 or not commissioned in 1962. (02:59–03:05)

CLAIM

Asserts that Jaeger air traffic control tower is owned and operated by the airport, not the FAA or a contract entity.
