    Kai Tak is one cool airport but the coolest thing about it is that it's a very rare Convair 990 with those wild rear fan J-79 engines.

      Ah I was right, when I saw those engines from the window, that was a Convair. Indeed an impressive approach.

      Cathay Pacific used to have Convair 880 in their fleet, so I think it's common to see a Convair at Kai Tak back then. Still, having a Convair 990 is quite rare.

      30 seconds before landing I did also see people's TV at home, and some were doing their laundry at the open roof top of their residential building!

    I think that their are a lot of pilots who started making nightmares once they saw Kai Tak on their rosters. 😮

    To help pilots for their landing approach, did the checker board exist at this time?

      Yes, these fat engine nacelles are what the CV990 has.
