I nailed that landing at Kai Tak in Flight Simulator 2004...

...of course I ripped the wings off of 6 747's, put a couple more in the drink overshooting the runway, smashed some perfectly nice residential buildings with a few others..."virtually" killed thousands,

...but eventually, I nailed that checkerboard sucker!

When leaving the airport after one of my arrivals I shot a picture of a bright orange Braniff 747 passing so close over me...and over the nearby apartment blocks...that I could almost reach up and grab the gear (which,obviously,was down at the time).

Another airport,one which I've never visited,is featured in many youtube videos:Princess Julianna Airport in Saint Martin.Watching 747s fly 75 feet over the beach and then land would have been,to me at least,worth a trip there.But 747s don't fly there anymore.It would be a hoot if an airline started flying 380s there!

LOL, reminds me of the Sully movie where all the other pilots crash on simulator. My son was about 10 or 11 when the Air Force brought a bunch of simulators in a trailer for recruiting. I still have his ID card. Anyway, he nailed the mission and the recruiters told him how good he was (of course). I flew in circles.
