Whoa! Thankyou very much for your kind comments.

I am about to make another video flight from Manila to Hong Kong (Kai Tak). A lovely short flight for a 747 (1hr 30min) which will be the full flight with a dusk arrival (As FT's Kai Tak really is incredibly beautiful at dusk IMO)

Oh yes please!!!!! When I was with BA we used to operate those 'shuttles' from Kai Tak to Manila and back and I sat on the flight deck several times for the evening landing into Kai Tak. So that I want to relive very much indeed!

Don't forget to let us know when it's up.

Hi Ed,

Great video, :thumbsup:

That shot towards the end of the Cathay 747 is "as real as it gets", i have a couple of VHS tapes from 96 & 98 and that shot i could say came from one of those real life landings,

As much as i don't want to admit it but you make that first landing look Easy :lol: its was bit hit and miss with me at times when i had 9 Dragons in F9,

Cheers,

Roger.

Aaargh! I can smell it. The fragrant harbour :$

Absolutely amazing, Ed. Why can't any of us manage anything like that? You must have done a deal with the devil :lol:

'Morning chaps! here is the video of my flight CX900 from Manila to Hong Kong. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srE6GKnlZA0

Proof if needed that I don't always get it right and that Kai Tak is not a jump in and fly approach but needs a lot of practise. lol (At least I had the inside track)
