Planes over Hong Kong (the old airport)

Some videos from the streets of Hong Kong in 1998, showing planes approaching the old airport. The old Hong Kong airport (Kai Tak) was famous for being right in the middle of the city and extending out into the bay. When you came in to land, you could look sideways out of the plane and see into apartments' living rooms... This airport is now closed and a new (safer!) airport was built further outside the city.
