[4th July 1200Z - 1900Z] Kai Tak Revive 2020

[Kai Ko]

On July 6 1998, Hong Kong’s Kai Tak international airport took its last flight and closed its doors, moving all operations at the airport to the current Hong Kong International Airport. Although it has been 22 years since then, its legacy continues to live on. For example, right here on VATSIM, the Hong Kong vACC continues to keep Kai Tak under the ICAO code VHHX as one of the airports it controls.

 

Want to re live the thrilling moments of the Kai Tak IGS 13 approach as it flies over the residential buildings in Kowloon city? Well you're in luck, this year we are extending the event with three hours of service so more of you can come experience this thrilling approach so come join the HKVACC as we celebrate the 22nd anniversary of Kai Tak’s closure July 4th 2020 from 1200Z – 1900Z!
