VR-HLA (cn 071) "Purple Rain". Spectacular effects from water vapour condensation as a CX A330 turns at the checkerboard approaching Kai Tak. (If the aircraft is on ground then this is a vehicle only!!!)

A visitor from Germany posted Tue December 25, 2007:
Nice "checkerboard" approach in misty conditions which causes a lot of condensation! Great!

A visitor from United States posted Thu September 6, 2007:
Proximity to familiar objects, vivid depiction on winglet vortices.

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Wed November 29, 2006:
I think this is the best photo on A.Net. Iconic airport, Iconic territory, Iconic airline, Iconic airliner!

A visitor from United States posted Fri September 8, 2006:
The picture was taken in the particular environment that the condensation on the wings were seen. It cannot be repeated because Kai Tak Airport is out of service.

A visitor from United States posted Tue August 22, 2006:
The balanced composition of weather, aircraft, and terrain including the checkerboard make this a most impressive photograph. One wonders where the photographer was! I have no idea what the writer intended with the parenthetical comment at the end of his remark.

A visitor from South Africa posted Sun July 2, 2006:
Very well taken at right moment

A visitor from United States posted Thu January 26, 2006:
What a beauty! This may be an old photograph but it's nonetheless a stunning capture of an A330.

A visitor from United States posted Wed January 4, 2006:
Cool! I guess that is just wind coming off the wing? I like the contrast of the clouds.

A visitor from Australia posted Thu November 25, 2004:
Even though the quality isn't at the level of today's shots, I still really like this photo. Great aircraft, great condensation effects, and a famous approach!
