This is the air traffic control tower at Melbourne International Airport (KMLB). I’ve actually be inside this tower a number of times. It does not seem to be very tall, but it offer plenty of visibility over the entire field. As far as I know, the only place (besides the T-hangars) that it cannot see is on the east side of the passenger terminal.
The folks that operate this control tower are highly professional and they handle a wide variety of operations, including private and business general aviation flights, a large Part 141 flight school, scheduled airlines, and even a medical rescue helicopter.
