Spotting at Amsterdam's runway 06/24 (when one could still reach 01R/19L) there was a sudden puff of smoke from the new tower,
then under construction. With lots of expanding going on, especialy on the west-terminal, a new tower had to be erected. While I was there,
something went wrong. I do not remember the exact date, please e-mail me if you do.

1989/1990
