#VHHX

2024-03-18

I gave my new graphics card a bit of a workout on takeoff from #HongKong Kai Tak #VHHX in my #FlightSimulator trip around the world, thanks to some gorgeous third-party scenery from SamScene3D. The landing at Hanoi Noi Bai #VNNB was one of those fun instrument landings in the fog. :blobfoxscared:

I did two #MSFS #FlightSim fights from my around the world tour today, but it was very cloudy at both Zangief Spinning Pile Driver #ZSPD (sorry, I mean, Shanghai-Pudong) and Taipei-Taoyuan #RCTP, so I didn't get any decent screenshots.

Fortunately, the second flight had a fairly clear landing at one of the coolest airports at which to land: Hong Kong-Kai Tak #VHHX. You can just about see the famous checkerboard ahead of my plane, and the airport is just off to the right.

A Cessna Citation Longitude flies in low over slightly hazy Hong Kong to land at Kai Tak runway 13. Checkerboard hill is just ahead of the plane and the runway is visible in the harbour.
