I imagine he just asked
It's pretty easy to get into the towers, I've been in the Rotorua tower - you just have to ask.
It's especially easy if you get someone particularly friendly or if you know someone who works for Airways.
It also helps to be a student pilot or just interested in aviation.
The towers get a nice view of the airports and activities there and it's pretty cool up there sometimes.

I figured they would be off limits, what with all the damn scerurity and stuff, but i suppose at a smaller airport like that.....

I went up with a group of people in a program called Young Eagles

You get to do heaps of aviation related things.
It's not the easiest to get in towers these days because of the security though.

Thanks Q300

You will have to try and get in them sometime. It's great having a view of the whole airport and watching aircraft go in and out.
