Shame ... it's better than any roller-coaster ride.A pilot for the Chinese airline Dragonair, Capt. Felix Hart, has been flying planes to Hong Kong since 1985. He said about the old airport: "Kai Tak will be remembered nostalgically by many pilots, but its passing will be bemoaned by few. The landing on Runway 13 is justifiably famous in the aviation world, with its spectacular approach towards the mountain, and the last-minute turn to line up on the runway. I’m looking forward to Chek Lap Kok, but I shall doubtless bore my grandchildren with ever-more embellished tales of landings at Kai Tak!" The airport sits amidst the bustling, busy city of Hong Kong and creates an awestriking atmosphere to newcomers to Hong Kong. The famous Runway 13 is now part of history.
