Ad for Salem? Traditional Chinese? Low-flying airplane? When was this taken, back when Kai Tak was open?

Oh.

In this case the landing planes really do fly this close to buildings though.

This video is from the top of Kowloon Mall.

I played MS Flight Simulator a little bit and I salute these pilots. :rat-salute: Because landing was hard and usually I just overshot the runway and ended up stopping in the dirt (if I didn’t just crash)
