I suppose Lufthansa and Speedbird are on the new TWY Tango. I don't recall any major festivities when it was inaugurated, like was done for Romeo. I take it that Tango is used to 'store' the A380s for some minutes waiting for the others to push, then taxi elephant walk style to the 24L holding point? The connection building to T4 seems to have topped out. If they use non-reflective glass, you will be able to see right through it! Will this building bring new restrictions to gates 151 and 153? I think the white office type building just beyond the fuel farm would be a better place for the TWR than where you are sitting now. 'ATC non-movement areas' would be restricted to activities in the alleys between the historic terminals (and that's what 'ramp control' is for) , and not major cross field taxiways like AA, R and S. What is that building used for? I still have to smile when seeing the helicopter pads on the top of the parking garage P-4. When did that stop? --Filip
