Basically there is a mountian at the one end of the run way so they actually have to fly a curving landing pattern. Lots of famous airline pictures are taken from that hill. All most all the 747 engine strike pictures are from there since the planes don't have wings level yet when they touch down. Not to mention the runway gets fierce Crosswinds so lots of planes land at weird angles there. They closed that airport to move to a brand new custom built airport on a manmade island a few years ago if I remember right.it was the former KAI TAK Hong Kong airport... you flew between buildings... to land there... I think Christelsabine landed there already. I only did it in the Swissair Flight simulator... Impressive enough for me...scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cayce 0 #27 January 8, 2005 I landed there in '89. You could actually look straight out the planes window and see people hanging their laundry on the balcony of their apartment buildings as we passed by. VERY unnerving. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
