Prayers for Pilots!

Caius was indeed HK based for many years, flying in and out of Kai Tak. Apparently there's a large advertising hording on the hill you're flying at on finals - it read "When you can read this, turn sharp right"!! That lined you up with the runway.

Another cousin worked in HK for a while, living on about the 18th floor of a high rise - said he would stand on his balcony and look DOWN into the cockpit of planes on finals into Kai Tak - scary!

It was actually a VERY large "checker board", but the information it conveyed was the same as your wording
