Hey Guys and Gals,

Just wondering if anyone one has anything to share about flying in and out of the infamous Kai Tak airport.

Pictures, stories, facts, what you've heard... anything flies.

I need of some material for a paper i am currently working on, thanks in advance!

I once heard a Cathy Pacific 747-400 captain say that approach to 11L at TUS was far,far more challenging than Kai Tak!

True story..
