Ahhh, the good old chequer board approach into Kai Tak. Did that plenty times in the good old classic 747.

Arnuff as pilot or Pax ? As pilot is must be hectic going in there :shock:

My intro to microlighting was a fly-away to the Vaal dam from a private strip near Honeydew and sleeping over one night next to the waters edge. On our way back we were caught in the rain and landed on Kibler Park recreation centre's rugby field - sopping wet. Man that was short! I felt like kicking my heels into the ground to help with the braking. I dont think the pilot knew about Panorama at the time - Bad flight planning!
