Thanks! New information added to the list since Update #4 is shown in bold. Please feel free to submit any additional data to help fill in the blanks (so to speak) and so this dataset may be updated on a regular basis.

At the bottom of the primary list is a second one identifying airports with control towers that are likely 100 feet or more in height based on internet images, but the exact height has not been verified, despite a month plus long search. While I was hoping that this list would be more comprehensive, not all statistical information on air traffic control towers is readily available or accessible on the internet. Those with (est.) listed next to the height were calculated using FAA Airport Diagrams and NAV Canada Aerodrome Charts that provided the elevation of the control tower and then subtracted the nearest ground elevation. For those towers where I was certain the data was only to the floor, ten feet was added to represent the total height. Whenever possible, I used the top of the tower/cab. Please note that some variation in height may occur as certain sources simply listed the height to the floor of the cab, while others list it to the top of the cab.
