@KeepOnDrumming1 Lol 30-40 miles is still way wrong. Please do not speak of things you do not know. A normal ILS approach (very safe and has a long final) is usually straight in from about 10-15 NM. This is not an ILS but the IGS-13 to Hong kong, the approach requires a late turn because of mountains and other obstacles. If he would have made a straight in from 30-40 miles out he would've gone through the mountain. Please don't open your mouth about professional aviation again... ever. Ok?
W W What the f@ck was that !!!??????? Who the heck thought that was a good place and flightpath to an airport???? That is so crazily dumb, it's beyond belief.
A little question ... why didn't they approach from the sea?
Everybody is commenting about the video editing. What about the content in the video? Nobody even cares to question why in the WORLD is this airport built so freakin' close to the city like that? No disasters yet, lets hope and pray that it stays that way! I mean . . WOW!
@hootyhaha I can tell you when it was build at 1930s, there were just nothing there :) The location of airport was planed to move after WW2, however lack of funding and no better location make it delayed for 50 years. When HK gov finally get the money, they build a new one and replaced KaiTak at 1998, so don't worry it's safety, it is gone now......
This is just a great video... When Kai Tak was opened, we traveled there all of the time.... A great old airport..... Now there Hong Kong government is putting condos and other builds there where the airport was.... What I big let down...... After all these past years of flying there to Kai Tak.. The new airport keeps on sinking into the China Sea... The government there talks about that they spent 60 Billion for the new airport but it needs repair every. What a joke...........
@MarcusLeepapi Well Kai Tak should be closed anyway. There is only so much traffic that airport can take. Plus with the new A380's and other planes coming out, it just makes the place that much more dangerous.
Thanks for you comment. Yes, I really miss that airport. But yes, they are closed! Many of my coworkers also miss that airport. But yeah, new aiports are nice. And yes, that new Airbus needs room to land. And yes, the Boeing 777 and 7474 also need room. Thanks again. Take care.
I miss flying into Kai Tak....... I remember that airport so much... I loved it at the time baack in the 80's, I was with PanAm World Airways and for the last ten years, I was with United Airlines. God, I miss travel.... I miss it so much.....
Thanks. Brought back many memories of when I used to live in Wong Tai Sin and became accustomed to a 747 level with my apartment window. A lot of planning went into what would happen if a 747 dropped into Kowloon. I'm so glad it was never needed. Big thanks to all those whose skill and hard work kept us safe. aloha :)
at 0:40 seconds, u can tell that plane has NO winglets and at 2:14 you can clearly see that plane HAS winglets....so im hundred% sure its different planes unless they formed winglets in the air :D
of course they aren't how could he have a people aboard the aircraft in the cockpit, one on the airport's car park, four or five throughout the city ALL AT THE SAME TIME?
besides, look at the clouds and the shadows on the buildings you will notice that they are at different times
your videos are always so excited, I think they display what flying is really about: mastering the air and your nerves, and conquering everything else
copilot is wearing glasses?

This is just pure awesome to watch over and over again.
I admire the pilot skills that were needed to land under such circumstances.
A 43° angle turn on final, over a dense built area, frequent crosswinds AND a single runway that was`nt really long.
Kai Tak, a phenomina in itself.
warminator 2 years ago 3
I agee, plus there is like a big drop you have to do right before the thresehold so that you will not overshoot the runway.
