Hi,
I have no idea if DanAir had services to HonKong or the far east for that matter. But I really like this livery. So when I gave it a trip from Tokyo-Honkong, I trained some approached to the legendary RWY 13, with the 47 degree right turn just before touch down.

Re: Comet Approach to KaiTak
Me & SHMBO were only talking about 2 hours ago over a lovely Chinese & 2
bottles of wine about how we would love to do another trip to Honkers, sadly if it comes true it won't be into Kai Tak

It's so nice to be insane, nobody asks you to explain.

Re: Comet Approach to KaiTak
I remember Dan Air doing some round-the-world charter flights in the late 70s. My girlfriend at the time was a hostie at Gatwick and I was very jealous as the crew and aircraft stayed with the passengers for the whole trip. But I'm pretty certain they used a 707.
I don't think I've tried to land a Comet at Kai Tak and it sounds like a bit of a challenge as I generally do an instrument approach and disengage the autopilot just before the turn. I think I'll need a few overshoots before I get the Comet in safely
If you guys really enjoy Kai Tak and have got some of your christmas money left over, I can highly recommend the Fly Tampa scenery (FS9 and FSX). I posted this a few weeks back of the Captain Sim 707 in FSX.

And there's a FS9 video here that I made a long while ago which is still OK: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76OADiD9IhM
EDIT: Oh yes, I nearly forgot that I set up all that 70s AI in FS9 as well. All these aircraft, including the ANZ 742 are AI. They flew the curved approach better than me!

Re: Comet Approach to KaiTak
I don't know of any long range Dan Air COmets flights either
The 707's could and did go anywhere![smile :)](./images/smilies/smile.gif)

A bit predictable, I know! As if I'd let a Kai Tak thread go without trawling through my archives!DaveB wrote:![]()
