MY FIRST SUCCESSFUL LANDING IN KAITAK

I was extremely tempted to land at Kai Tak international airport, Hong Kong's ex-international airport after seeing screenshots made by another member of the forum I joined. Kai Tak airport was the hardest airport to land - you are approaching not in straight line with the runway and if you want to land, you have to make a right turn (this must be very accurate turn, otherwise, you won't land on the runway). See other people screenshots for approaching and landing in Kai Tak airport :)

After make a very hard turn, finally I successfully landed at the runway after 6 times trying to land there :) Landing was very hard and here's the snapshot:

Well, thank you visitors for participating in the polling I made a month ago, about "What do you think is the best airline?".

INDONESIAN FLAG CARRIER STOPS THE FLIGHT TO TIM TEMPORARILY

When I read newspaper and aviation forum just now, I discovered that Garuda Indonesia had a conflict with Freeport and closed the flight to Timika temporarily. The story began after the captain of GA652 refused to carry the boss of Freeport from Jayapura to Timikawho had the ticket for GA653. As an airline which is now grows rapidly in both economy and operational sector, I really appreciate the pilot for that refusal - However, "because of that refusal", soon after landed at TIM, the Timika international airport which is owned and operated by Freeport firmly didn't give fuel to Garuda, and at last Garuda had to refill it's fuel at Biak to continue flying. Freeport also gave Garuda a letter if the airport won't give Garuda any fuel starting January 3rd, and Garuda had to apologize Freeport for that. How arrogant Freeport is! And because of that, the Minister of transportation called Freeport to Jakarta today (5/1). Freeport said that Garuda was not supplied with fuel because of the limiting fuel at the airport that time. Oh my Hell, what a stupid way to self defending... If that was true, then what is the meaning of that fuel stock stopping letter and apologize asking? I hope the minister of transportation can solve this problem quick and correct and this problem won't interrupt GA's operational remembering the airline had achieved 4-star Airline status and still improving for 5-star status.
