    747s in Kai Tak, maybe the most iconic scene of aviation spoting

    Biggest regret in my lifetime- not getting to spend a windy day watching planes at This airport.

    The last one, N666US, did fly for Delta after the merger and was among the last few to be retired.. Final flight to Pinal Airpark on Dec 26, 2017.

    EPIC plane spotting at Kai Tak. Such a shame it had to close but it sure was fun while it lasted. Thanks for the amazing footage!

    1990s aviation was the best. Great video, lots of -200s and bowling shoe -400s.

    Saw the first 747 (Panam) land at Kai Tak in the early 70s, it made the newspaper of the day

    First time I flew the checkerboard was in a 707 coming in from China. What a pain. Then in 747-200s in the nineties. What a pain. Tired, raining, often at night. What a pain. I guess I'm glad I did it and can show these clips
    to my kid. Actually, he's kind of a pain too. I love both these "pain in the butt" joys in my life.

    These landings are very good...compared to some of the stuff we've seen before on Kai Tak videos. It would be interesting to know how the pilots defined a stabilized approach in Kai Tak!

    Landing starting at 1:50 shows some skilled filming, note how the camera operator lets the plane leave the frame at the end, a professional touch 👍

    Fantastic video, mate!! It's impressive how the planes pass so close to the buildings! Unfortunately the airport was closed, it would be amazing if we could still film there...
