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.

Isn't that at the old airport. Must be awhile ago. Didn't look to bad.
Best cross wind landing is this one.

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!
