Ok, this photo is hard to believe 
The good news is that Opa-Locka (OPF) airport has secured a $4.2 million grant from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to build an $11 million permanent tower at the airport. This new ATCT should open in late 2009.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) moved into the temporary trailer (pictured above) that was placed atop welded-together cargo containers in May 2006. Controllers must climb a ladder to get inside. And the tower is only 33 feet off the ground, meaning controllers can't see the entire airfield.
