Boeing 747 Crosswind Landing Hong Kong Kai Tak Airport 1998 Japan Airlines

Back


Filmed from the checkerboard used for the approach into Kai Tak. Overshoots and then lines it up just to get caught in the wind...again. Unedited. You can hear another enthusiast in the background with a scanner. Airboyd.

Overcompensated for the crosswind a bit...hell, any landing when the plane is in one piece is a good landing though.

Pilot saw everyone watching and thought, watch this shit.

That fxxking city you so lovingly referred to is Hong Kong, which is rated by Time Magazine as in the same league as New York and London (see the Nylonkong edition). The airport you trashed was Kai Tak - closed for 10 yrs now. Kai Tak was small, crowded and hair raising yes but it had super efficiency being the 3rd busiest international airport in the world. It did so much with so little and earned HK billions of revenue, enough for it to build a gigantic new airport on the sea - Chek Lap Kok.

That was a fantastic piece of flying! I'd happily fly in any plane with those men at the controls!!
