NORTHWEST Boeing 747s at KAI TAK (1995)

It doesn't get much more Classic than this.... HONG KONG KAI TAK, an airport, loved by aviation fans from all over the world, and NORTHWEST, an airline many loved as well... both gone into the history books Luckily Just Planes visited Kai Tak many times around 25 years ago and captured a lot o great footage like the sampling you see on this video.

747s in Kai Tak, maybe the most iconic scene of aviation spoting

[@alkorzen1250]

dageek1000 Was based in HK for 3 yrs in the mid 70's with NW flying the 200's

[@scottmajor2620]

1990s aviation was the best. Great video, lots of -200s and bowling shoe -400s.

[@QuickBurn70]

The last one, N666US, did fly for Delta after the merger and was among the last few to be retired.. Final flight to Pinal Airpark on Dec 26, 2017.

[@Redhill407]

First time I flew the checkerboard was in a 707 coming in from China. What a pain. Then in 747-200s in the nineties. What a pain. Tired, raining, often at night. What a pain. I guess I'm glad I did it and can show these clips to my kid. Actually, he's kind of a pain too. I love both these "pain in the butt" joys in my life.

Saw the first 747 (Panam) land at Kai Tak in the early 70s, it made the newspaper of the day

[@777pusher]

Biggest regret in my lifetime- not getting to spend a windy day watching planes at This airport.

[@waltersempticowski1794]

A bunch of 747-200, 300, 400. a magic time in aviation

[@VirtuaMe]

Landing starting at 1:50 shows some skilled filming, note how the camera operator lets the plane leave the frame at the end, a professional touch 👍

[@chrisnizer1885]

EPIC plane spotting at Kai Tak. Such a shame it had to close but it sure was fun while it lasted. Thanks for the amazing footage!

[@sadtwat]

Incredible skill from those pilots.

[@flyboysaviation8822]

That bowling shoe livery sure was a hit

[@2981661]

These landings are very good...compared to some of the stuff we've seen before on Kai Tak videos. It would be interesting to know how the pilots defined a stabilized approach in Kai Tak!

[@777pusher]

First landing was soooooo perfect!!!!

[@canadianplanespotter]

Northwest and Kai Tak, what a video! Really love that bowling shoe livery :)

[@lorenzo2011ist]

It was honor to work for Northwest! Loved it all! Harmin, Class 5-97B

Fantastic video, mate!! It's impressive how the planes pass so close to the buildings! Unfortunately the airport was closed, it would be amazing if we could still film there...
