Filmed from the checkerboard used for the approach into Kai Tak. Overshoots and then lines it up just to get caught in the wind…again. Unedited. You can hear another enthusiast in the background with a scanner. A Japan Air Lines JAL Boeing 747.

This is a compilation of my short snippet videos short from Kowloon city under the approach path to Hong Kong’s Kai Tak airport in 1998. They were uploaded individually 2 years ago, but are much easier to watch this way. http://www.kaitak.tv

What are some economic issues involving airplanes?

The FAA (federal aviation administration) is attempting to get a reauthorizaiton through congress that completely changes how FAA is funded and completely changes the user fees. This will end up meaning that general aviation (not commercial) pays more than they currently do. Currently the fees are implemented through a fuel tax.

have you looked into fractional ownership of airplanes which is becoming very common?

have you looked into the cost of keeping older airplanes going as opposed to buying newer airplanes?

have you thought about fares that airlines charge flying passengers?

pilot pay is a factor that comes up a lot with airplane operationsl costs.

fuel costs are up a lot right now with airplanes. it’s a big problem and companies like fedex are putting a surcharge on overnight packages because of it.

good luck

No music soundtrack version. This is a landing at the new Hong Kong airport CLK. Yes, it’s a bit of a firm landing It’s a training flight, and yes, I did flare, just not enough. It was landing #2 or #3 in the plane. Idle reverse because it’s so light and the engines are big enough to slow it down. http://www.airboyd.t
