Only one thing I'm not quite sure on, and that is...did they take off from the other end of the runway in real life at Kia Tak? Always thought they only came in from one direction, making that amazing approach low over the city. Other than that, awesome shot!

Landings and takeoffs were in whatever direction the wind favored, just like most airports.
