Runway re-opening set for 27th

Sea-Tac's first (most-easterly) runway, newly-reconstructed, is now scheduled to open on Sunday, 27 September, for partial use, according to a news release from the Port of Seattle. Initial use will be restricted to day-time hours & good weather.  

The FAA will conduct flight checks beginning Sunday and is expected to open the runway in full use by the end of the week. 

The time of re-opening was stated as "12.01 a.m.".  We're not sure whether that is intended to mean one minute after 12 midnight or one minute after 12 noon.  Let's hope that they aren't planning a bunch of flights in the midnight hours.
