This observation deck will also be closed starting in 2006.


This observation deck will unfortunately also be closed starting in 2006.
From the observation deck you can see the '''25L/R''' approach pretty well, better than '''7L/R'''. You are standing very close to the gates, so you will get good photo opportunities for planes that are being pushed back and for the ones that are pulling up to the gate. Here are just a couple of examples of photos taken from the deck.
