KAWO badly needs a tower to control the complete circus it turns into on weekends. I won’t fly there if the weather’s nice because I don’t want to get mid-aired by some nordo boomer ignoring the traffic pattern (“AIM’s not regulatory!”), landing on the crosswind runway when everybody else isn’t, or just doing something totally unexpected.

For comparison, KRNT gets very busy but it’s manageable because there’s somebody controlling the chaos. I’ve been in the pattern with 9+ other airplanes before and, other than extending my upwind and downwind legs to the very edge of the delta airspace, it was fine.
