This DVD opens in October, 1995, aboard a Canadian 747 with a roller-coaster approach and landing at Hong Kong's famous Kai Tak International Airport. A great memory of this great airport!

Airline videographer Henry Tenby then takes us for a 3-day visit to Baiyun Airport in Guangzhou (formerly Canton), back when many of the Chinese domestic airlines were still using Soviet aircraft. The stars of the show are the Tu154s of China United Airlines, China Southwest, and Sichuan Airlines. Great noise!

The action is further spiced up by China General Yak-42s, a Vietnam Airlines Tu134, and more Tu154 action served up by Aeroflot, Air Volga, and Baikal Airlines. Additional domestic Chinese dishes include Shanghai Airlines 757, China Northwest MD80, BAe 146 and A300, Wuhan and Yunnan 737-300s, Air China 747SP, and lots of China Southern Airlines and China Eastern Airlines fleet action.

The second half of the DVD serves up a generous helping of non-stop, jet action filmed from various scenic locations at Hong Kong's Kai Tak airport, back in 1995 and 1997. Hong Kong-based Cathay Pacific Airways' fleet mixes company with Kai Tak regulars including 747s of Mandarin Airlines (747SP), China Airlines, Philippine Airlines, Air China, Thai, United, KAL, Canadian, Polar Air Cargo, Air France, British Asia Airways, Air France, and Singapore Airlines, in addition to MD11s of Garuda, China Eastern, Philippine Air Lines ... and more!

  • Im just saying I know you left that comment like a year ago but I just saw it and im like WOW, this person just called me a "dumbfuck", so I see you were the hater in that situation....I was just trying to make a little sarcastic comment and this person calls me that! ?

    I write, play piano and travel.....i think they are very worthwhile hobbies......

  • @jonred233 Of course nobody asked for my opinion, or yours either. You can dish it out, but you can't take it, huh? Now what are your hobbies anyways? I consider a hobby worthwhile if it is satisfactory to the individual. Haters gonna hate, do what you like.

  • nobody asked your opinion , and fyi i probably have more lucrative hobbys than you anyways...

  • no that is kai tak guagzou is baiyun airport

  • Are you one of those people who doesn't have a hobby of their own, and is jealous of someone who does. Get a life of your own, dumbfuck.

  • are they using kai tak as a general aviation airport now?

  • Don`t trust Wiki they don`t know what they are talking about because Kai Tak has been closed for along time.
