Ah yes, Kai Tak - passing of an era when that closed.
It used to be worth it to go to Sham Shui Po just to see the planes scrape over the buildings..
For those who didn't land there - when the video camera is in the cabin, and just before they bank to the right - look up to the mountain on the left - covered in huge orange and white checkers - it was called "checkerboard mountain" - and served only as an indicator that pilots had to begin banking on sight.
