I had the privilege to work in both Kai Tak and CLK as a controller from 1997-2000. It was the same controller working both Air and Ground frequencies due to low workload during the early morning. The codes Red and Blue for pushbacks are for the tow truck operator indicating the direction of the airplane after pushback
Beautiful views! This aircraft is a series -200 - formerly Lufthansa or Air France. Aircraft registered in Italy. (I love those old analogue dials in the 747 Classics!)
The best ATC syntax and articulation I have ever heard, period. So often, too often it is just the opposite and I hold leads to complications, potential hazards.
I used to work at Dulles Airport. At least once a week I would open the company book store in the D concourse around 0500. Despite the (extremely) limited amount of sleep I'd get the night before, it was my favorite place and time to open, not just because it's a bookstore, but also because I could see the day begin through the gate window opposite, and watch the terminal come to life.
I used to fly in to and from Kai Tak airport (as a passenger). That was a real blast. You could almost see into peoples windows as you were coming in to land.
+SuperFrasman it was great to be a passenger inside the plane and as a passerby on the land (except for the deafening noise of course). nothing ever comes close to the ones i saw around kai tak when i was a kid.
I got a scanner years ago and would just have it on in the house. I programmed in my local airport and ORD etc. Pretty soon it all sounds pretty normal. You could pick up cops and ambulances too but the planes, AIR FORCE I included, fascinated me and any flight shop has materials to teach you the abbreviations and they'll just give you flight charts that are discontinued. I learned to recognize pilots and controllers with a sense of humor and the the crabby ones too.
Ocean cargo was only in business for 4 years before going under. They operated four Boeing 747-200 aircraft mostly between Italy and Asia. Wow only 4 years in business, business must of really sucked. I guess the big cargo airlines like Cargolux and Lufthansa cargo got majority of the European cargo market.
Sono italiani! Sono quelli della Ocean Cargo che volava da Brescia Montichiari e che poi è fallita, peccato! Un video bellissimo. Thanks for posting this video, they are Italian pilots probably flying the route Brescia Montichiari to HK. One of the best aviation videos ever seen.
i always play airplane games on my cell. so i came across your videos and am shocked at the complexity of landing and lifting off in a aircraft. you guys are something else very awesome i like how professional you are to and that landing was spot on i have a accurate flight sim on my phone for the space shuttle with the same kind of landing and man is it difficult to land that perfect i blow tires allot you guys are true pioneers that is just awesome
Randy DiCotti Not surprising, it's not restricted to ATC, Hong Kong is full of western sounding and thinking people, some of the most industrious people in the world.. just my observation after living and working there
I've been to HK once, and it was via Kai Tak. What an experience...flying down the length of the harbor, then dropping into Kowloon like on a roller coaster and down onto the runway heading back out into the harbor. Goodness! It was at night and the city was lit up like a Christmas tree. It was like landing in the middle of Disneyland!
Just Excellent!! Although, flying a Cessna 172 will be disappointing now. LOL I have a friend who is a captain on a 777 and really envy his exciting career. You guys are so cool!!.

Cheers! My dad was a CX 747 captain, sat in the jumpseat as a kid a few times into Kai Tak and CLK in 747s and A330s/40s. Great video.
Italian crew. Ocean Cargo airline, it was based in Brescia, northern Italy.
Excellent filming like always... thanks for the hours of entertainment! Been watching for many years.

Thank you - Love these cockpit videos. A frequent flyer and aviation amateur....

Great video 😀 Love how ATC controllers communicate with pilots with "good energy" in voice not everyone but many of them 😊
Good job pilots. Very beautiful landing, and what a nice view from the cockpit.
All in a days work. Thanks for all the nice videos.

What type of scanner do u have?
Regular John radio shack
I can't imagine being at the controls of an airplane as large as the 747. It just blows my mind.
Nothing beats this experience....
dawn, hong kong, 747, ....what a great video...thanks a lot guys...greetens from mexico
wow great to see some 747-200 cockpit footage
I detected that they were Italian from their English accents. I could tell how my people speak English from a thousand miles :D
Great video, thanks :)
Amazing time of day and angle! First time I saw HK that way. Thanks for the upload.
it really was a cockpit view landing. loved it!..lots of 747s there in hong kong
hong kong is full of 747s
Thanks to UA-cam you can see such amazing things & thank you for the upload.
Very cool - enjoyed watching.
By far one of my favorite channel

Seems an old 747, no glass displays, but a lovely smooth landing by pilots. Brilliant video collection.
Beautiful video, thank you!
Very kind, thank you!!
Just wonderful views and management.
watching dese videos kills me arrrrrrgh cnt wait to start my pilot training nxt yr by Gods graceeee
Landing at the old Kai Tak was much more of an adventure. Flying in between mountains and apartment buildings!
Arthur Shatz so u used to land there?
Beautiful! Great work Just Planes!
great life experience, thanks.
Great Video! Thanks for posting.
Cargo 747-200, video was shot a few years back as there was a Northwest 747 cargo plane on ramp. Can't remember when they merged out of business.
Great video 747 is my fav plane
Awesome video. Thanks for sharing this.
The light on the left illuminates when the doors are open, the bottom when the gear is in transit, and the right when down and locked
That a/p disconnect sound is simply awesome..pity is not used anymore! I remember it from airport films series in the 70s!!
So COOL! Thanks for sharing!
A B747 Classic. Beautiful
You would never get to see this stuff without the Internet. Amazing !
Nice one, great video & camera work, thanks for sharing.
Wonderful job. THANK YOU!
This makes me feel great. Thank you.
extraordinary and superb video is this. tks a lot.
Yes indeed, its a 200. Glad you enjoyed it :)
Great video! Thanks for sharing it!
Hong Kong is such a beautiful place :)
Fantastic indeed! Very stable and some excellent cloud skimming footage. Also thanks for not adding any cheesy music.
nice, i like the 747-400 alot. fly it all the time
and this is why I subscribed to just planes :DD
Great video....view at night/dawn....awesome!
Very welcome, glad you enjoyed it! :)
Absolutely beautiful!

Depends on the trip, sometimes yes...

Great video, superb! Thank you for sharing these awesome insights!
Videos like this are really cool. Thanks for sharing them with us.
Great video! Love it! :)
Cool nice video and view....Hello Dolly....Say Hello to Hong Kong!
Thank you ;)
He lowers that landing gear like a man!!! Thanks for the upload!!!
Thank you for sharing. You did an impressive work!
that's pretty awesome view
There is something magical about landing in a new city at dawn.
The 747 looks and feels much more like actually "flying the plane" than the AirBus. I hope we never get to the place where no pilot is necessary.
Yeah nope not for a while. Not for a long while
wow i have been to hongkong in 2012 , it was very exiting , i went there in a 777 , even got to see the cokcpit ^^
Fantastic !!!

Great, thank you
The greatest channel on UA-cam!!!
Love that old panel!
Very nice video! my compliments! this flight was italian the pilot.
Absolutely enjoyable!
Those Chinese Air Traffic Controllers sure do sound American.
they do, they do ;)
There are lots of expatriate pilots and ATC controllers living in Hong Kong (British, Canadian, American). It's not the same as Mainland China.

That was awesome man, thanks so much! Very cool.
How we miss Kai Tak

It was at night and the city was lit up like a Christmas tree. It was like landing in the middle of Disneyland!
***** Kai Tak is more unque
***** the approach is a little wacky but it's aesome!
***** Not my dad. He loved it.
Olen Soifer
I have indeed, I already have two of your dvd's. I love them! I'll be getting some more soon. :D
WOW! thank you
Wow that was amazing
Thats done it - now I'm convinced I need to fly again. Great video
Just Excellent!! Although, flying a Cessna 172 will be disappointing now. LOL
I have a friend who is a captain on a 777 and really envy his exciting career. You guys are so cool!!.
What a beautiful aeroplane, the747!
