ATR-72 crash at PKR, Nepal. Many fatalities feared.

I'm one of those old guys who probably flew into Kai Tak 50 times before they moved to the Island where I also flew into many times. Usually by the second trip into Kai Take you figure out the tricks.

I think the moral of this thread is: the second time's the charm.

I'm one of those old guys who probably flew into Kai Tak 50 times before they moved to the Island where I also flew into many times. Usually by the second trip into Kai Take you figure out the tricks. Descent rate established on the ILS then just turn over the center line strobe lights and maintain your descent rate. When there was a right crosswind it just required a earlier turn to final to give you a chance to find the correction needed.

The best time killer, besides shopping, was to go sit on the checkerboard and watch the arrivals.

Wow. And I thought that I am gettin a little bit older than the other so called jetphotos "seniors", .. because I am two weeks older than Alex, since the beginning of March 2023.

But since today, I know who is the chief of all so called jetphotos "seniors", and who indeed is the younger brother of Mr Robert de Niro. That's you!

November 1942 is worldwide famous, if you ask me. And November also here in my family is a good month, I also have a younger brother.

50 times before they moved to the Island

Yes. But a) for these words we need to be 45 (or what would Alex think about that) and then, b) funny enough, it is a movement which if you ask me here on this platform until now is only described by people who not necessarily own simplyfied Chinese or a language like that.

From Kai Tak to Chek Lap Kok ('the island').

Btw, how far away from the topic are we, right in this moment. But I don't care, when I can virtually sit next to a man who knows the checkerboard hill with his own eyes.

... Sorry. Without words.
