16L/34R also gets used during times of low visibility for the heavies when conditions aren't suitable on either 16R/34L or Rwy 07/25. I've seen many foggy days where visibility is ordinary at best on the main runway but quite satisfactory on the third runway (and vice versa).

Re Air Pacific, it's the B747 I would see more regularly using Twy Golf intersection departures off Rwy 16R than any other flight.
