Remark Photographer
9V-SMC (cn 24063/736) Inspired by Mr. Hunt, I couldn't resist any longer to dig up a real Kai Tak shot. After spending some days on the building for the famous banking shots, I decided to go elsewhere. I found another nice roof and after a while, I was accompanied by a guy. Years later on, I discovered that it was Alan Tsui when I saw his photo on this site and which can be seen here. Compare and you'll find out that everything is similar....

Now, this is an outstanding shot of a 747 trying to make a crosswind landing. I wonder if the passengers onboard the jumbo jet crapped and wee weed in their undies. If I were onboard that aircraft, it would sure scare the hell outta me!

A visitor from Germany posted Wed April 16, 2008:
Lucky great shot!1 of a million! The pilot must of made a go around!

A visitor from Thailand posted Wed April 16, 2008:
I have been traveling Southeast Asian countries late 70s and facinated every time whenever I land Kai Tak airport. Some time captain likes steep turn and try to pick laundry on the top of building up right before landing. All were good memory now. I lost a chance to land on there after wards but my wife stopped over for transit on the way back to Tokyo but she had to suffer mess on the way to BKK because of opening of new airpot, Cheprak Kok(?).

A visitor from United States posted Thu October 4, 2007:

Similar to a Korean Air. Kai Tak is famous of crosswind landing!

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Fri November 24, 2006:
A bit of good aileron and rudder work needed here.
Another 200 tonne giant about to slam into the runway sideways.
Just another day in Kai Tak!!

A visitor from Italy posted Sun August 20, 2006:

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Tue August 8, 2006:
Singapore airlines is the best

A visitor from United States posted Wed June 28, 2006:
The pilot of the A330 must be freaking out right now.

A visitor from United States posted Wed April 26, 2006:
Wow! Wonder if the landing was bumpy or not...

A visitor from Switzerland posted Sun April 9, 2006:
Nice angle!

A visitor from Greece posted Thu March 30, 2006:

A visitor from Canada posted Thu March 30, 2006:

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Fri January 6, 2006:
Another tough langing at Kai Tak.

A visitor from Philippines posted Wed October 19, 2005:
The captain of this plane should smoothly correct his heading to the runway

A visitor from United States posted Thu August 25, 2005:
The pilot is so far off centerline making this photo very dramatic. What due u think the captain of the A-330 is thinking?

A visitor from United States posted Mon August 22, 2005:
I believe the timing and angle are perfect. It almost looks like if it had been taken from another airplane...Was It?
