A few thoughts to share:

1. I agree...whatever is going to live there hasn't arrived yet. I think we've caught the hangar in the last phase of construction. Do people think the vehicle access road cutting across the taxiway is just temporary, or intended to be permanent? Why didn't they flip the orientation of the hangar so the offices & parking lot are on the east side, and the taxi way goes around the west side of the hangar?

2. The taxi line south of the hangar may give a clue as to the size of the aircraft housed there. You can see it makes a very sharp right-hand curve as soon as it exits the doors. Presumably the wingspan of whatever it is has to be narrow enough to clear the side of the hangar there. Interesting it goes much further away from the hangar before turning north.

3. Also agree the aircraft "parking" area north of the hangar is for a chase-something. Note how that taxi line doesn't go into the hangar, but just to the taxiway, which suggests whatever is going to park there isn't intended to park in the hangar.

4. What is the mark that looks like an equal sign (=) on the west corner of the ramp?

5. There are dots along the east and southeast edges of the ramp. Lights?

6. Which direction is the hangar intended to operate? Aircraft enters from the north, leaves to the south & loops around the hangar? Or vice versa?
