Re: Now this is what you call coming in for a landing.
Apparently the landing in to the old Hong Kong airport was a squeeky bum moment. My folks did it once and reckoned that the plane basically flew inbetween skyscrapers and you could see folk having their dinner.
I do know that only pilots with huge numbers of flying hours were allowed to do the landing.
