Erik, I do remember that during the demo flight stage there was talk of it being put on Rwy 07/25 for one of the arrivals, but it was changed to 16R/34L. This caused all sorts of angst for the media that were there to capture the arrival. Other than that I don't recall it ever using 07/25.

I remember that well...one minute it was 34L, then it was 16R, then it was 25, then it was back to 16R... I can't actually remember the runway it eventually landed on??? We were on and off those buses several times!
