Remarks: Korean Airlines gave the Hong Kong spotters plenty of special landings but this was one of the best I saw. He was way to fast and as you can see that right wingtip is rather low!! This one could have created a new street in Kowloon city. SEE MY NEW PHOTOS AT FLICKR
Remarks: KAI TAK. Now very much the most famous picture I have taken... Picture can be found on the covers of various books and DVD's. However that's now not a good thing as B/W copies of this pic are now on sale here in HKG for US$ 15... $Y#%&*&$%#!!!! SEE MY NEW PHOTOS AT FLICKR
Remarks: **Photo 3 of 3** Malaysian Airlines saying good bye to Kai Tak with a bang. You can see a small spark under the right engine as it hits the runway !!
Remarks:PHOTO 2 of 3. This is one landing I'll NEVER forget. The crew would have ditched the aircraft if this landing failed as they did not have enough fuel for a 5th attempt.
Remarks: This shot show's the major part of Kai Tak airport. The airport closed less then two weeks after I took these photos :-(. Photos taken from Heli Hong Kong Jetranger B-HJJ SEE MY NEW PHOTOS AT FLICKR
Remarks: Yet another of this great AI landing!! **Check my other pics from the same day for more fun!!** Aircraft has since been scrapped in the states.
Remarks: DUMPING FUEL RUSSIAN STYLE !!. Take a look at all that fuel gushing out of the wing. You will be happy to know the aircraft did NOT depart. They shut down the left engine and taxied back to a bay.
Remarks:PHOTO 1 of 3. After serious flight control problems this aircraft is seen touching down on RWY 31 after THREE aborted landings (2 x 13) (1 x 31) and VERY low on fuel.
