Kai Tak Airport in Hong Kong: the most spectacular and dangerous landing in history

🔹Kai Tak Airport in Hong Kong operated from 1925 to 1998 and was considered one of the most challenging airports in the world; pilots called it the "test of courage."

🔹To reach the runway, pilots flew along the bay and visually searched for the "checkerboard" pattern on the hillside, all manually, without autopilot.

🔹The airport was created by accident: in 1922, two developers failed to build a project on reclaimed land, and the government decided to repurpose the site for air transportation.
