Hello 2008. I have been updating my videos to deal with the requests I get from you. There are going to be several edits of each video. When I have the footage, I will make full length videos and a short one of just the landing.

The vast majority of my videos were taken in Hong Kong at Kai Tak airport prior to it being closed down in 1998. The new airport, Chek Lap Kok, is the current Hong Kong airport. The ICAO identifier is VHHH.

The video is strictly amateur and any unrelated noise is just that. Some videos may have audio missing or replaced depending on quality or recording on that day.

I have enabled comments.

I will also be uploading versions of the videos with music, for those of us who like the music. There will be a little cleaning up of some of the other videos too and, with any luck, some new videos...

Sharks were great. Still flying. Tks!
Simplified. The approach used to fly down a modified electronic approach to a point in the air and then the pilots would use this checkerboard on the side of the hill to help navigate the rest of the way to the airport.
Yes. I have a whole set of videos filmed from the checkerboard on YouTube. It was a great vantage point.
Before you all get wrapped around an axle. This is just a historical video shot for the checkerboard used on the approach to the old Hong Kong airport. It's for reference in a wiki article on the airport.
Music version is back up.
