Kai Tak IGS

I was operating a flight from Osaka (503) a 743 on that last day. In fact we positioned a video camera onto the windshield and filmed the whole approach. Two of us have since left but the SF/O maybe still with you. There are three copies somewhere of which I have one. The weather wasn't at its best but the IGS is excellent. The USS Nimitz was in that day and we zoom the camera down to her which is quite impressive. The tape is still on VHS and I would like to edit some of the quieter moments out and burn onto a disk. Taxiing back on B1 and the bridge we kept the camera rolling and enjoyed a couple of classic arrivals before turning right over the bridge. I still watch it and use it to show friends and colleagues the infamous IGS. A real treasure.
