Flying above blocks of densely-squashed old tenement buildings was the old Cathay Pacific plane with its signature green/white logo. The booming loud noise rocked not just the buildings but also the ear-drums. This was a typical pre-1997 Kowloon City scene. Kai Tak International Airport started operations in 1925 and was once one of the world’s busiest international airports. At that time, Hong Kong people loved doing farewells at the airport and this created a massive human traffic in Kowloon City. In 1998, with the opening of Chek Lap Kok International Airport, Kai Tak Airport was closed down. There flies off another memory into history.

綠白色機身舊LOGO的國泰航空飛機，在密密麻麻的唐樓叢上空呼嘯飛過，發出震耳欲聾巨響，乃1997年以前、九龍城的經典風景。1925年啟用的啟德機場，曾為全球最繁忙的國際機場之一，當時港人流行送機，令九龍城區繁盛一時。自1998年赤鱲角機場落成、啟德機場關閉，此情此景已成歷史。
