No ****. We are getting a new tower here in Billings, opening August
2006. Took a tour of the 75% complete building for the first time
yesterday. Helluva building. But the TRACON, holy crap Batman. We
only ever have one scope open at a time right now. We have two scopes
in the current TRACON in a room approx 15X15. Our new TRACON is about
100x100. There is talk about running the Bozeman radar from here when
they get it installed but the room is still 40 times bigger than it has
to be.

having some involvement in cutover for 24/7 facilities, let me
just say that you cannot have too much space. About the dumbest
thing someone can do is to build new facilities without gobs of
room.
