Lucky them to fly 747. It can handle such a rough
landing.

A visitor from Jamaica posted Wed September 10, 2008:
A go around would be great, But it's a nice shot.

Ooops, wrong way!

Aproxima

A visitor from United States posted Thu April 3, 2008:
I think he should go up and try his approach again, or risk landing in the water. Awesome shot.

A visitor from United States posted Sat March 29, 2008:
Pull up and try it all over again. Don't risk bending the airplane.

A visitor from Spain posted Tue September 4, 2007:
This photo is amazing! It would be very difficult to find something similar.

A visitor from Iceland posted Fri February 16, 2007:
I recon he's just about to give some left rudder and have a fairly smooth landing :)

A visitor from Antigua And Barbuda posted Sat November 11, 2006:
This is one of those Kai Tak photos that gets my heart beat racing just looking at it!

A visitor from Canada posted Tue August 1, 2006:
It is spectacular to see a plane like that in this position with probably a right wind

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Fri June 23, 2006:
Co-pilot to Captain: "What do you mean, you've only got a PPL ?!!"

A visitor from Turkey posted Wed June 14, 2006:
It's most serious crosswind i've ever seen!

A visitor from Canada posted Wed March 8, 2006:
Make sure to bring an extra pair on underwear for this flight

A visitor from Spain posted Wed January 25, 2006:
Meravellous!

A visitor from Colombia posted Tue January 17, 2006:
Scary

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Fri January 6, 2006:
Cool!

Kai Tak claims another pair of underpants...

What would the decision altitude have been I wonder? Probably committed to the landing and too late to go around.

A visitor from Switzerland posted Tue January 3, 2006:
Unusual position of the plane such close to the ground.

A visitor from Germany posted Sun December 25, 2005:

A visitor from Germany posted Sun August 21, 2005:
Great composition, excellent light and colours, not too much sharpness (dynamic!) - and of course a spectacular moment!
