Cathay Pacific Boeing 747s at Hong Kong KAI TAK (1995)

[@canadianplanespotter]

That green livery is much nicer than Cathay's current one in my opinion! I would love to see more clips of the "Kai Tak heart attack" approach :)

I flew into Kai Tak on a Cathay Pacific Jumbo after a backpacking trip to Aus. Jan 1995 on a new 747-400. Might have been in this footage. I really miss the beautiful 747.

Nostalgia....💓

[@Greencorner]

Great stuff! Thanks and cheers!

Today, we can only see their 747s on cargo operations, after retiring their last passenger variant of the 747 on October 1, 2016.
Wide-bodied twinjets (A330, A350, and B777), continue to carry passengers, although regional carrier Cathay Dragonair operates the A320 and A321 in addition to the A330 inherited from mainline..

Nice!

[@blackmennewstyle]

Nostalgia is a sweet feeling, isn't it?
Use with caution though...

[@willemlenteren1485]

I like to see it

[@TakagiYumiTallTree]

To be honest,I think if they don’t use thoose red “Chathay pacific word” in the old livery it would be great in my opinion.

que aeroporto é esse fica em qual cidade país

[@Greencorner]

Hong Kong Kai Tak airport, well known by its famous IGS / checkerboard approach into Rwy 13. Closed in July 1998. Replaced by new Hong Kong Chek Lap Kok airport.
