"We didn't hear anything from the Cessna. Ever since the control
tower shut down we've had a lot of confused pilots who don't know
which frequency to communicate on. I've seen a lot of near
misses."

at the Lake Tahoe Airport, after a near miss Thursday involving an
aircraft that carried retired Army General Norman Schwarzkopf. The
tower at Lake Tahoe was shut down in October in the midst of a
funding dispute between the city of South Lake Tahoe and the
FAA.
