(Foggy or rather smoggy visibility)
This is a landing at the new Hong Kong airport - Chek Lap Kok International or simply known as Hong Kong International.
Video Credits: Second Officer. In this video, Boyd is landing the plane.
Kai Tak Airport closed for good in 1998, and was replaced by Hong Kong's current airport - Chek Lap Kok. Those of us who landed on Runway 13 (IGS 13), which was considered world's most difficult landing (checkerboard approach with a [usually] 47 degree bank [turn]), can never forget the thrill and joy of it. Sadly, now Kai Tak and the famous IGS 13 approach/landing only remain in our memories and in these YouTube videos captured by dear friend Boyd (AirBoyd) and yours truly (Ron Bach).
