What was Hong Kong's first international airport?
I wish I was old enough to have flown into Kai Tak airport at least once!

hypothetically at least

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

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

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