Here is my placeholder for the Kowloon City Plaza shots. It's shows the checkerboard with a pan round to the airport.

As requested. A shorter version of the approach into Kai Tak without the music. Again, the lead in lights are barely visible through the rain as the video starts and then we get a great view of the checkerboard through to touchdown. This approach is in the rain. The other video is a little clearer but still grey out.

Follow along: http://www.tinyurl.com/5ctcyw Full length version of the Day IGS 13 approach to Kai Tak. Video opens on cockpit instruments showing the approach, some views of the area around Hong Kong, the landing and a long taxi in. This edit is with ambient noise. A short version of just the approach and landing is also available.

Another test using H.264 codec. The video is 2x until the turn to final then normal speed for the approach. The camera was mounted too low to capture the airport properly. The quality looks good but I think I'm dropping frames. I'll work on being able to get air to ground transmissions for future videos. I'll probably.... more

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.

View from the cockpit taking off on a fairly heavy 747. You can see how much runway gets used. This is a re-edit with the background music removed

Taken from the checkerboard used for the approach into Kai Tak. Hard crosswind landing.

IGS Runway 13 in the rain, with long taxi. Opens with the lead-in lights barely visible in the rain and then we break out. I replaced the audio to comply with YouTube policy.

This has a dramatic looking turn to final over Kowloon City.

This is a compilation of my short snippet videos shot from the perimeter round (peri track) around the airport under the approach path to Hong Kong's Kai Tak airport in 1998. They were uploaded individually 2 years ago, but are much easier to watch this way. Primarily Cathay Pacific planes.
