An 8 min rollercoaster ride through Hong Kong's
(in)famous Kai Tak Runway 13 approach.
Now closed, Kai Tak was the most challenging
airport approach of its time. Pilots made a last
minute sharp right turn at under 700 feet above
the Kowloon high rise apartments to line up with
the runway. I landed there once in real life and
the apartments were so close I could read the
logos on t-shirts hanging out to dry and see what
people were watching on telly.
Often accidents occurred as Hong Kong's variable
weather played a large part.
The airport was closed on July 5, 1998 due to the
fact it had outgrown it's capacity, safety
concerns, noise and pollution. But deep down, the
airport was loved by all in the "Fragrant City"
and was the beating heart of Hong Kong.
Here now it is faithfully recreated in Flight
Simulator 2004. Seen are some of the aircraft you
might have seen over Kowloon during it's time -
Enjoy! Tags :fs9fsxfs2004KaiTakHongKongKowloonaircraftsimulatorcheckerboard
