What was Hong Kong's first international airport?

I wish I was old enough to have flown into Kai Tak airport at least once!

well technically I have I guess

I was like. Literally a baby tho

i probably have done so when I was a kid and went to hkg every summer

that airport made so many pilots very very nervous

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ : most dangerous airport in the world at one point I think

hypothetically at least

actual incidents were rare because they just didn't let crews fly in without specific special training for the airport

lol makes sense

I think Queenstown airport is the same, and there's one in the Himalayas somewhere too

Tenzing-Hillary Airport - Wikipedia

there are no go-around procedures if you miss your landing you might as well just go home

DSTXC : gotta love an airport where the rule is basically "land or die" ^^
