runway 13
That's Rwy 13 approach of Kai Tak International Airport, Hong Kong.
Still one of the most challenging approaches in the civilian aviation world, though Kai Tak has been replaced by Chek Lap Kok International Airport.
Remember the good old times when the 747 flew over the high-rise buildings in Kowloon Peninsula, the wing tips could almost touch the laundries on the bamboo sticks. How would you feel growing up in a place where you can see different airliners from different countries flying above your head? Oh well maybe we can see RSAF aircrafts all the time.
Oh luckily HKG is not in I'm An Air Traffic Controller, a very nice Game Boy Advance game that tests your reaction and decision making skill. Try screwing up Air Force One's take off time...

What's so special about this runway?

look at the landing and you would know...
imagine it is one of the busiest airport in the world, with only one runway, and one end of the runway is the sea, the other end is full of high-rise buildings followed by a range of hills....
You have to land there to know the thrill.
