Incredible shot, very rare!

Wow! Speaking of history...

Awesome piece of heritage thanx for sharing this great shot Andrew, the checkerboard just add the power to this moment.

This shot went to the history already when you pressed the shutter. Thanks for letting us share it with you. /Sudden

Great shot, it's al legend!!

It is the most unique shot ever in a.net! The Concorde, checkerboard, those history will ever be remembered!

Its all in history.

Good, concorde in former Hong Kong airport!!
Most impressive aircraft of all time,
if it hadn't existed, there would be 80% less aviation fans in the world, too bad there is no successor.

Great shot!

Two grand pieces of aviation in one pic. The best plane ever and the most exciting airport ever ! Thanks.

Didn't know Concorde landed there..... What a nice memory the pilots may have of that one! Thx for sharing the pict. w/us......

What would I give to make this happen again...

Me just being 21 years old am proud to remember the actice aera of this airport! Amazing capture! Just imagine you'd have ruined this shot for some reason...

What a rare photo!

Rare photo! the one who took this must be very lucky indeed

One of the most beautiful "flying machines" ever created !Sad to know she's a museum piece now.Great composition,mountains,"checker board",and Kai Tak.Can't do better than that.

The most beautiful airliner ever buit ... Concorde belongs to the past now, just like Kai Tak airport, but the myth is still alive, and for long time, in our memory. So long White Swan ...

A very very rare shot them days are now over a discontiued airport and plane

To pass a Jumbo by the eye of the needle in Kai Tak, well... to pass the Concorde... Que huevos!

This is a real BIRD !!

Seeing heavies like 747's land at Kai Tak, I can hardly imagine seeing a Concorde doing this! Truely incredible! Two things that will never be used again!

Stunning aircraft, it upsets me tremendously to know we'll never see it fly again. Beautiful picture, sad feelings

Here's definitely a photo we will never see again. Props to the photographer for capturing this rare moment in history.

This is beauty in simplicity. A picture of an amazing airplane and a historic approach, one that will not be repeated.

The attitude during approach is breathtaking! What purpose does the "checker board" serve?

Never to be repeated again, indeed. I wish I was alive at the time, as I wasn't born until just a few years later. This is just as beautiful as the picture of Earth from the Moon. Historical, beautiful and captivating.

Awesome flying machine, hope the next firm able to produce a SST won't get boycotted as the concorde was at birth. So we might enjoy views of spectacular planes more often.

Thank you Concorde, the most magnificient plane ever made.
It's a symbol of the union of two nations.

I want some more great photos from Kai Tak like this one!

Just a great aircraft!

What a beautiful picture. It is so simple, but has many wonderful elements. First, of course, is the plane, and then the checkerboard, and also the thought of the Concorde flying on such a historic approach. Like many of the best pictures it hits the minds of those who understand it, and wish we were there.

Truly spectacular.. and I say that with all the enthusiasm I can gather. It brings two, such loved and iconic elements which have now been lost to history, back to life and into a single portrait. Wonderful. Can't get my head round it, truly magical.

Two Legends of aviation, both never repeatable, joined at the same spot! Wow!

Absolutely awesome!

Wow, what picture!

Those were the days. I'd give a lot to be able to fly into Kai Tak on this bird.

I Love Concorde

The plane is captured in a fantastic position, also the persepctive is very unusual and the red-white chceck gives everything that little taste.

A magic plane, taken in a superb position from a great angle, in an unusual setting. HPM, France

The place I always wanted to be and never will. At least I got to see the Concorde live somewhere else. Great shot of two aviation history makers, the Concorde and Kai Tak. Love this picture!
