Filmed from the checkerboard used for the approach into Kai Tak. Overshoots and then lines it up just to get caught in the wind...again. Unedited. You can hear another enthusiast in the background with a scanner. Airboyd.

This is a compilation of my short snippet videos short from Kowloon city under the approach path to Hong Kong's Kai Tak airport in 1998. They were uploaded individually 2 years ago, but are much easier to watch this way. http://www.kaitak.tv

Follow along: http://www.tinyurl.com/5ctcyw Full length version of the Day IGS 13 approach to Kai Tak. Video opens on cockpit instruments showing the approach, some views of the area around Hong Kong, the landing and a long taxi in. This edit is with ambient noise. A short version of just the approach and landing is also available.

This has a dramatic looking turn to final over Kowloon City.

No music soundtrack version. This is a landing at the new Hong Kong airport CLK. Yes, it's a bit of a firm landing ;) It's a training flight, and yes, I did flare, just not enough. It was landing #2 or #3 in the plane. Idle reverse because it's so light and the engines are big enough to slow it down. http://www.airboyd.t

View from the cockpit taking off on a fairly heavy 747. You can see how much runway gets used. This is a re-edit with the background music removed

First of all, this is a collection from YouTube. I would like to thank all the enthusiasts from YouTube especially Mr. Boyd Kelly (airboyd of YouTube) which I used their best fragments to make this special Kai Tak video. Background music is from "633 Squadron" by Mr. Ron Goodwin. Kai Tak Airport VHHH.... more

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.

Taken from the checkerboard used for the approach into Kai Tak. Good crosswind landing at end...

Taken from the airport car park.
