Tribute to Kai Tak

Not sure if this has been posted before - had a hunt but couldn't spot it so I apologise if this is a repost....but I loved this Farewell to Kai Tak on YouTube and had to share it

Wow, I wasn't aware that that airport had closed.

My dad used to fly into there back when he flew for UPS, would talk about the checkerboard approach pretty often.

That's a nice collage, I don't think it's been posted before

I used to stay in a Kowloon hotel on the 21st floor... you could touch the landing gear of the approaching aircraft
Here is another favorite of mine, 747 cockpit vid approach in rainy conditions. The checkerboard is clearly visible and the crew seems almost relieved at the point where they turn off the RWY:

Now how awesome would that have been.....
