HONG KONG, CHINA: Hundreds of Hong Kong people gather onto Kai Tak Airport's rooftop car-park 27 June to capture a momento of planes making their approach toward the runway. Remembered by millions of passengers and thousands of pilots for the spectacular approach skimming rooftops to land, Kai Tak closes 05 July as Hong Kong's new Chek Lap Kok airport opens the following morning. Opened in 1930, Kai Tak is said to be the only airport in the world where you don't see the runway until moments before you land. AFP PHOTO/Frederic J. BROWN. (Photo credit should read FREDERIC J.
