    Kai Tak is one cool airport but the coolest thing about it is that it's a very rare Convair 990 with those wild rear fan J-79 engines.

      Ah I was right, when I saw those engines from the window, that was a Convair. Indeed an impressive approach.

      30 seconds before landing I did also see people's TV at home, and some were doing their laundry at the open roof top of their residential building!

    I think that their are a lot of pilots who started making nightmares once they saw Kai Tak on their rosters. 😮
