Kai Tak Airport was the international airport of Hong Kong from 1925 until 1998. It was officially known as the Hong Kong International Airport from 1954 to July 6, 1998, when it was closed and replaced by the new Hong Kong International Airport at Chek Lap Kok, 30 km to the west. The airport was home to Hong Kong's international carrier Cathay Pacific, as well as regional carrier Dragonair, freight airline Air Hong Kong and Hong Kong Airways. With numerous skyscrapers and mountains located to the north and its only runway jutting out into Victoria Harbour, landings at the airport were infamously difficult.

Amazing shots!
I only don't like the FSX bloom so much. It's a bit overdone in my opinion.

I love the FSX bloom. Dave is the best at capturing it. The only thing he didn't capture here was the checkerboard on the hillside during the approach Roll Eyes

I've always been told that pilots would 'aim' for the checkerboard on finals to make sure that they would be lined up for the runway when they made the turn.....

So I googled it.

before the IGS was introduced, the pilots would fly at a heading of 088 while aiming at the checkerboard... and before they crash into the hill, they would execute a 47-degree right turn.
