For CV990 read CV880.

Master Caution;

Best recorded RW13 approach I have ever seen. Certainly a feast of memories there and even though it was a CV990 it was a CV880 for me . Great to see those familiar friendly sights again, Cheung Chau, Green Island, Stonecutters, School Buildings, the running track on the centre of the curve and those apartments on short final that always seemed to want to get in the way of the right wing tip but never did. A pleasure to watch the gear lever put to down, to see the truck positioner sending its message, to note the three oblong green undercarriage lights and to recall that satisfying feeling of those four thrust levers that somehow seemed to fit comfortably in the palm of the hand. Also nice to look once again at the approaching touchdown point and as the wings roll level to see the runway centre line plant its self exactly in the middle of the windscreen.
Icing on the cake would have to be that lovely young lady at the foot of the
steps wearing a gorgeous clinging cheongsam. Empires have been overthrown for such. When Antoine De-Saint Exupery said "memories are hidden wealth " he was not wrong. Thanks for putting it up.
