FLIGHT THAI AIRWAYS A330-321 HS-TED "DON CHEDI"
HONGKONG (HKG) KAI TAK - SEOUL (SEL)
Summer time is flying time.
Winter time is editing time.
I am now starting to work on my oldest footages, starting in 1993, using Hi8 analogue tapes, partly heavily damaged. Quality is partially horrible and editing and scene cutting this material is a true nightmare. Nevertheless it is worth its while taking all the trouble to save these memories for the future.
I was living together with my family from 1994-1998 in Seoul, South Korea. Taking advantage of a duty trip to Thailand end of May 1996, we decided to explore some interesting places in Vietnam. This trip is nothing short from spectacular, taking you onboard twelve exciting flights ranging from the ultra-modern Tripple Seven to the tiny ancient yet noisy YAK-40 and TU-134 and a brief stopover at Honkong's Kai-Tak airport, one year before closure. I apologize for the occasional poor recording quality. I do not really care about the ratings of of my videos. Publishing these historic footages is my mission in the first place.
This video features flight #12 - the last flight on this trip -, onboard of Thai Airways Airbus A330-321 HS-TED from old and hopelessly overcrowded Kai Tak airport, on our way home back to Seoul. The Tripple Seven was planned originally on this leg, but there was an aircraft change to the smaller A330 and our original seats were gone. Nevertheless I managed to grab the required window seat for breathtaking Kai Tak footage.
