As the crab fishermen say, 'that's a 30 hour soak, let's see what we've got'....

As 3rd place my pick is - Monday "I'm sure there's a runway around here somewhere!"

And in 2nd place -KWSN The Holy Hand Grenade with ""KoreanAir 568, Kai Tak is closed! I repeat: Kai Tak is closed! DO NOT FINISH YOUR APPROACH!"
"KAL568, oops, sorry... I haven't flown into Hong Kong for a while..."

The Winner and new thread-master is - Rob Smith "Tell Mrs Wong we will give her washing back next time we land at HK"


Congratulations! PM sent, and my thanks to Admiral Glover for correcting my image glitch.

My cousin flew MATS for the Navy then Captained L-1011's then 767's for Trans America Charter. He told me the only airport he hated worse than Kai Tak was Lindbergh in San Diego.

you mean threading your way between buildings and missing the 5 story parking stucture at the beginning of the runway?
