Spectacular landings @ Hong Kong Kai Tak (airplane buffs inside)
This youtube video has been up a while, but I just looked at it again and thought I'd share:

Pretty cool. Kai Tak, 1925-1998.

That's some crazy crosswind flying!!!


"The only approach to Runway 13 was a sharp 47-degree right turn at about 100-meters altitude, then align with the runway, often with strong crosswinds. The airport was infamously difficult to land at, only experienced pilots were chosen for the challenging approach and crash incidents rarely occur."

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.

I wish I had a chance to experience a Kai Tak landing. But alas, I never went to Hong Kong until April 2000, less than 2 years after it closed.

Both approaches were great - through the buildings was something, but skimming the harbour was equally as neat.

It was also fantastic to walk out of the airport in the middle of the city :D
