Hong Kong 98 – Last Look at Kai Tak
Filmed in June 98, only weeks before the airport closed, this spectacular video captured the latest aircraft that used Kai Tak, with A330s, A340s, 777s and MD90s featured, along with a strong cast of 747s -over 30 of them!
With superb airside locations and shots of the airport from a helicopter, you get to see that unique curved approach from five different viewpoints.
That’s not all! We take you onto the flightdeck of a Virgin Atlantic A340, at 21,000ft – just as it begins its descent down to that famous curved approach, past the Chequerboard, to Runway 13.
