Hello Cathay Pacific. Yeah still listening to this beautiful music and it’s the year 2024.
Cathay means old kitan ... kitan is one of nomad people of north china and near mongolia ... Kitan invaded koryo( ancient korea) and fight till the end and perished out... i sometimes imagine that if world there is no war and there is peace .. then we can see kitan or cathay people or their own nation .. miss that 80s vibe .. we miss Hong kong too much.. sometimes feel sad..
It’s so sad how the world has changed since this time. It was not without its problems then, but so much innocence has been lost. A 61 year old Brit living in Florida.

I lived in Thailand as mid 1970s. Flew a lot on CX 707 and L1011 to Hong Kong to Manila to Bangkok. Much later on in life 743, 744, 772 and 333.. Not that awsome airliners any more..! Since a flight to Jakarta in 2013, I deciceded never to fly on CX again. I don t understand, because the airliners is fantastic. Did I was unfortune and had 4 bad flights in a row? Come on Cathay -I always thought you where better than Singapore!!

This rocked back then, and still rocks today. 'Cathay Terrific' was an airline much loved in the wider airline community.
I always feel airlines underestimate boarding and landing music. It stays with me forever. Emirates using Wonderful Life on approach was great...And Barry White's love theme will always be Cathay's music. I remember it on TV in Australia when I was a kid, how LONG it went for (well worth whatever it was that they paid for the time ) and the shots of the 747's flying over buildings near Kai Tak. I fell in love with the airline and the city back then, well before I even went to HK or flew CX.
