That sounds a little scary to me! At small airports, like my own, "Pilots and aircrafts" depend on Unicom for traffic safety of life advisories when arriving/departing the airfield, the last thing they need is to hear from "volunteer helpers."

I think you may have your priorities a bit wrong. You ask the "Air Boss" (?) if you can tow an aircraft down the runway, He tells you what to do, you repeat back to him what you have been told to do, and you do it. You tell him when you are clear of the runway. You do NOT talk to the aircraft.

Be certain you are authorized to talk with them. You can get in a lot of trouble, very quickly, plus endanger an aircraft/aircrew.

Being this is a transceiver it doesn't fit in to the ICOM Receivers forum so I'm moving it out.

Since this radio is neither amateur nor consumer in nature it would be a thread restricted to the Commercial & Professional category only.
