A Goodbye to the old Kai Tak Airport...HKG.

[GLAB]

For any of you who ever visited Hong Kong before 1997 and were fortunate to land at the old Kai Tak Airport you will love this!! For any of you who missed this experience you may still get an idea of what skillful pilots were needed to land a large plane on a narrow strip of land that ran out into the Hong Kong Harbor. Often we joked that we could look in the window of apartment 39 B and see what they were having for their supper upon our approach. Someone did a fantastic job of compiling different shots of many flights at various times of the day. Good memories.
