Two people climb onto a rooftop in Kowloon City 13

HONG KONG, CHINA: Two people climb onto a rooftop in Kowloon City 13 June to photograph an aircraft approaching Hong Kong's soon-to-close Kai Tak airport runway. The residential neighborhood of Kowloon City, lying directly beneath the flight path as planes approach the famous landing strip, and notorious among the world's pilots for the tight manouvering necessary to safely land an aircraft, is teeming with eager photographers hoping to capture that everlasting image before the airport shuts down forever. Kai Tak airport officially closes just before midnight 05 July, and on 6am the following day, the new Chek Lap Kok Airport will begin operations. AFP PHOTO/Frederic J.
