Tegel was in the French Sector of Berlin, so of course AF was the first and now appropriately the last. Tempelhof was in the American Sector, and Gatow in the British Sector. In the Soviet Sector was Adlershof. Contrary to much belief, Schonefeld was not in the Soviet Sector, or in East Berlin, but (just) outside, in the mainstream DDR, which led to all sorts of additional bureaucratic issues to get there from West Berlin.
