I recall some rather "sporty" visual island arrivals in the Classic. Screaming past the south side of HK island, idle thrust, F1, F5, F10, F20, full speed brakes, crank it around the peak, high descent rate, gear down as you hit stonecutters....final flap, and maybe just "touch" the thrust levers at a 100' to give it a bit of respectability. Stabilised Approach....uh huh. Off to the Cathay Club. Job done. A bit sad to think of what we've lost.
