As requested. A shorter version of the approach into Kai Tak without the music. Again, the lead in lights are barely visible through the rain as the video starts and then we get a great view of the checkerboard through to touchdown. This approach is in the rain. The other video is a little clearer but still grey out.

  • 0:18 "Bwoop Bwoop Bwoop Bwoop" .. "Autopilot turned off" Flying in haze over skyscrapers with a 747 at your command .. amazing.

  • @Javier33085 In case you weren't joking, this video would have been made before Kai Tak closed in 1998.

  • kai tak. soooo EPIC!

  • @killer8452 I think it's because whoever is filming has their camera zoomed in quite a bit, which reduces the sensation of speed. Everything looks a bit slower.

  • @killer8452 The wind may have kicked up and with the flaps down it probably gave the illusion of a really slow landing. That's what wind does to you

  • @killer8452 It is not really slow. The size of the lines on the runway provides the illusion that its moving slow. That's my guess at least.

  • Damn! It looks as if the plane turned into a helicopter at the end. It's almost like it was hovering above the runway for a few seconds.

  • @killer8452 Sorry, I can't tell you either. I was just wondering the same thing...

  • why does the plane go really slow in the end, is it because of wind?

  • A true view of a different time in aviation. The approach over Kowloon city would have been terrifying for a post 9/11 world.

  • @ryan1111111555555555 Nearly. Check out my video on my channel, final part of the Frankfurt to Kai Tak whereby I explain what goes on. Do hope you trust my words once you read about my channel.

  • i really hate whenever the camera zooms on the runway at time of the landing. It looks like the planed landed at 5 mph.
