Kai Tak airport – Hong Kong Kai Tak airport (also known as the Hong Kong International Airport) was the main international airport of Hong Kong for over 70 years until its closure in 1998.

    I've had some pretty rough landings and take offs, but these take the cake.

        That's a huge responsibility on those pilots!

          Those pilots can brag like hell saying that they've done aeroplane drifts. :P

            Arrive early and wait in the bar. About 3 glasses of wine should do it.

            But only if you are not the pilot:)

                The HK landing is really scary

                  I've always found the landings at the old Kai Tak airport AWESOME. If you really want some FUN try a combat strip landing or a carrier landing.
