[Milsurplus] Pan Am radio equipment

[gl4d21a at juno.com]

If you look to the Northeast from the SFO International terminal, you will see (as of 2005, the last time I was there) a low, wide corrugated iron building (hangar).  Just above the sliding doors, if you look very carefully, the old Pan Am logo is still visible.

Anyone been there more recently to confirm it is still there?  I was inside the building in the late '80s, while doing some work for US Customs.
