The Old Kai Tak Airport

I posted about the amazing Singapore Changi airport a while back. Well, last week, a friend and I were talking, and we ended up chatting about some of the horrifying airport that we have flown into. The old Hong Kong Kai Tak airport came up right away. Imagine hills and high rise being either along your approach or your take-off, and you get the idea.

In fact, to give you some more visualization of how horrifying the airport approach is, you should look at this video.

I've flown into Kai Tak a couple of times, and it is disconcerting to see people's faces in their buildings looking at your eye level as you're about to land! I'm glad that airport is now gone!
