Definitely has that stormtroopers-and-showgirls architecture.
I’d do an adaptive reuse on the terminal building, and develop the land currently occupied by the runways and aprons. That way you have saved the historically significant building.
>> Orville Wright was one of the first to land there in 1903
The first powered flight at Kitty Hawk was in 1903! I think they meant to say “1909”.
When we went to Berlin last year we flew into and out of Tempelhof. It’s kinda cool. Too bad they’re planning to close it (except to the uber-rich, if Mr. Lauren has his way).
Kitler, who has taken over for the Hitler, would not comment.From 1985-1988 I was in charge of the Control Tower at Tempelhof. At that time there was not too much traffic but what we had was very interesting; several hijackings, airshows, President Reagan’s visit. There was even a large flock of sheep on the infield at Tempelhof. Shortly after the Wall went up a East German shepherd, together with several sheep, escaped into West Berlin. The Americans allowed him to graze his flock on the grassy areas south of the main runway. I wonder if he’s still there?
