Hope your driver does as good a job as those two Johnny. Mind you, like all the pilots used to say to me when I was in the airline industry, "any landing you walk away from is a good one"

Have seen some great stuff from the old airport. Used to be a real challenge.

Best cross wind landing is this one.

Blimey. That driver must think he's in a Cessna 150!

Here's one of a Concorde giving up and going round for another crack!

That was some crazy stuff!!! Realistically tho, the chances of actually being in an air disaster are very small. Funnily enough, I was speaking to a guy at work today about the same thing. Still, it's scary stuff though.

I'd be crying like a baby on that flight. Still, safer than a tuk tuk.

From the vids you can see why the first time I flew into the old Hong Kong airport I was quite surprised. I took a few pictures from the window looking down into the apartments below during that sharp turn... and the runway looked so small!
