Popular Post Wilbur ★ Posted May 10, 2022 Popular Post Share #2 Posted May 10, 2022 Many times. In fact, I am in a YT video landing at St Maarten. You don't actually need to be that low over the beach. Most often, pilots do it for the beach crowd. It isn't a critically short runway. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a fun approach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

team scooter Posted May 10, 2022 Share #9 Posted May 10, 2022 Kai Tak must have been a hoot before it closed. Fly towards the checker board, make a sharp right with seconds to line up, skim some roof tops just for fun, then jab it down to the runway before running into the bay. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kai Tak was actually fun for competent pilots. Less fun in monsoon rains though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
