SKIP the video intro on the top of the page.

Go below, where you see the Reagan's face and the video is there.

This is the Kowloon airport of Hong Kong, the world's craziest airport.

I think the one in St. Maarten is scarier:

I flew into that airport in 1962 on a C130.

Those are very interesting but what you get when you click on Ronald Reagan is even better!

Seen this one? It looks like it comes in about head height for anyone standing on the beach:

That Logan video is Microsoft Flight Simulator. Modern video games are pretty amazingly realistic these days, though, huh?

Kai Tak has been closed for some time now.I flew into it twice in my life and the first time I had no idea of its reputation....I (truly!) thought I was gonna die! Now I understand why they coined the phrase “Kai Tak Heart Attack”.Just part of the mystery that is Hong Kong,IMO.

I used to visit friends that lived right under the landing pattern for Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma City. Those planes landing overhead were so close to the homes. When one of the big AWACS came in for a landing, what conversation you had going on, whether in person or on the phone, just stopped completely, no shouting because it was useless with the noise. You just waited for a few long seconds, then continued on with your conversation as if nothing happened. No explanation or apology on why you stopped speaking was necessary, because everyone understood.
