Between two mountains, no way for the pilot to know whether it is clear enough to see to land until almost on the ground. Embellished a bit or accurate? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-saw-this-and-thought-of-you#post-1828767 Mon, 24 Jul 2017 17:06:05 +0000 Laura1975 1828767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oof! I'm one of those weirdos that actually wishes I'd flown into Kai Tak. They'd opened the new airport by the time I went to Hong Kong. To date my scariest flight has been Madeira airport. Strong crosswinds and a short runway. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-saw-this-and-thought-of-you#post-1828105 Sun, 23 Jul 2017 03:10:13 +0000 shiny 1828105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I am glad you are still alive!&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-saw-this-and-thought-of-you#post-1828048 Sat, 22 Jul 2017 22:58:21 +0000 Angie 1828048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jennifer, I can't open the link. But my guess is that the article is about Kai Tak airport - which I know all too well, and have landed and taken off from more times than I can possibly count.&nbsp; </p> <p></p> <p>ETA: I could open the link. <b>VERY</b> familiar.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-saw-this-and-thought-of-you#post-1827846 Sat, 22 Jul 2017 15:40:36 +0000 Diana 1827846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My husband just showed me this article. When he was a kid, he used to visit his grandparents' house which was on the flight path into Kai Tak, and he remembers watching the planes come in to land. Apparently they flew in SUPER close to the rooflines. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-saw-this-and-thought-of-you#post-1827788 Sat, 22 Jul 2017 13:51:32 +0000 Beth 1827788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My dad is a retired commercial pilot, and while he never flew into Kai Tak, he said it was one of the crazier approaches in the world! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-saw-this-and-thought-of-you#post-1827520 Sat, 22 Jul 2017 01:09:45 +0000 shiny 1827520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can only imagine! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-saw-this-and-thought-of-you#post-1827501 Sat, 22 Jul 2017 00:07:37 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1827501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a few of those landings at Kai Tak ... they definitely needed an excellent pilot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-saw-this-and-thought-of-you#post-1827494 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 23:50:39 +0000 shiny 1827494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/kai-tak-hong-kong-airport-scary-landing">http://www.atlasobscura.com/ar.....ry-landing</a></p> <p>Do you remember this?
