This is one a few shots I took of Aircraft landing at the old Kai Tak Airport in Hong Kong. Aircraft used to turn right at checker board hill and come in to land between the buildings. Always was a very dramatic landing, especially in a storm!

Rob, this is an amazing capture....I lived in Hong Kong for a year and often landed between the buildings at Kai Tak.....I think I always closed my eyes on the approach....I've never flown into the new airport....isn't it on Lantau....

I believe so Jake......I am going to visit some friend in HK in August, so it will be my first landing at the New Airport. Thanks my friend:-))
