This is one of the worst airports landing strips in the world. And this is during good weather no fog, no high winds, no rain. Unless you are under fire coming in to land at some other airports. If you can not stop in time you fall off the cliff right into hong kong bay.
That's the old Kai Tak airport. It closed in 1998 and was replaced by the new international airport (Chep Lak Kok), which is even more dangerous due to frequent cross winds. Kai Tak wasn't so bad, I landed several times during typhoons. It was however amazing to land due to the nunique approach and steep right turn before touching down. Sometimes the wing would touch the TV antennas on the houses. Especially if you were flying with Cathay Pacific...
