I don't live too far away from the Airport Retail Park which has the normal shops to it, eg The Warehouse, Kathmandu, Briscoes, Bed Bath & Beyond, No 1 Shoes, Rebel....
There was once a time when an airport tower would actually be on the very edge of an airport runway. Nowadays the towers seem to be away from the airport. Our soon-to-be-finished airport tower is right-slap-dab in the centre of the Lyall Bay retail complex. It's quite a way over the Wellington Airport fenceline. I guess the radar (?) control operators rely on screens rather than visuals nowadays?
You can't tell by the below photo but the tower has been built on an artistic slant. I wonder how long it will be before photographers start treating it like the Leaning Tower of Pisa and get friends to act as if they're pushing the tower over, or helping it to stand upright?
