Hong Kong Kai Tak airport was one of the most picturesque places to go, and its Rw13 approach one of the most difficult but also one of the most rewarding when done properly. When it was closed, it was the end of an era. And while we can't fly there in the real world, we should at least be able to go back in time in the virtual world. Therefore, I think that more flights should be added to the Historic Flights section in & out of HKX, as now there are only 2 outbound and one inbound. Also, I would like to see some shorter flights, as this one takes over 14 hours to complete. Also, the Concorde program could have some flights to and from Paris and London as well.

Justin,

Thank you for providing the URL to the very long thread and discussion about Kai Tak.

Teodor,

It is good that you have interest in our legacy aircraft flight routes.

We welcome validated historic flight information for entry into our schedule database. Validated flights should be photocopies of schedules. Submit copies by email to me or George Lewis.

Regards,

Terry
