We are a group of modelers in the USA trying to re-create the famous Kai Tak airport. (It's a hobby of flying simulation enthusiasts). After months of internet research, purchasing books, materials, photos, etc., we still have come up short on a few good external snapshots of the old terminal building. After all how many people stand around taking photos of airport terminals!

So a couple of questions and a favor for those in Hong Kong:

1. - Even thought the airport is now torn up is the airport terminal building still standing? The parking structure?

2. - Does anyone have any photos outside of the terminal they could email me?

3. - If not, would any kind soul who happens to wander past that area could snap up a few photos for us? This would be of tremendous help!!!

If you can spend a few minutes please post here or email me at:

socalmarcus@yahoo.com and I can explain more fully.

Thanks so much... used to fly to Hong Kong in the 90's on business all the time from Washiongton... what can I say but a great city!

1. - Even thought the airport is now torn up is the airport terminal building still standing? The parking structure?


as the government has postponed the development project in the area. so most of the airport buildings (the main terminal and the parking structure) are still standing, maybe just except for some servicing buildings which they have already demolished.

So the terminal is still standing.. eh?

So how in the world can I "sweet-talk" someone over there to take 30 minutes out of their day/weekend to snap up a few exteriors?

Any takers? Please-Oh please-Oh Please!!!
