I love it. The "checkerboard" turn, rooftop glidepath, last-second adjustments. Now THAT'S flying. I rode in the (similar) 880 when I was a kid. Great stuff!
I remember having seen it in the Coronado at the museum of transport in Lucerne when I was a kid. Do you have the beginning of the film, would be nice to watch that again!
@knowledgecompletion : Type "Swissair: Landung in Hongkong 1/2" to see the first part. I also saw this video at the Verkehrshaus der Schweiz about six years ago.

@alienhuman I had to wait until the end of the film to get the punchline, but it was worth it.

Great footage of the approach. I don't think they had the checkerboard back then, and the runway was shorter.

As if the video itself wasn't great enough, there's also the cockpit-view landing at Kai-Tak. Fantastic video! : D

There seems to have been a fair amount of distortion in the windscreen glass of the Convair.
