滑翔而上的飛機，擁擠的客運大樓以及標誌性的跑道,這些曾經是開啟塾機場73年來作為香港飛向世界大門的日常景象與聲音。但在1998年7月6日，當國泰CX251航班飛往倫敦的時候，機場的燈光被關閉，標誌著一個時代的終結。對於那些曾經旅行過啟德機場或曾經觀看過從其標誌性跑道起降的人來說，啟德機場在他們的心中佔據著特殊的地位。雖然機場不復存在，但它的精神仍然活在那些經歷過它的人的記憶中。

Soaring planes, crowded terminals, and an iconic runway – these were the everyday sights and sounds of Kai Tak Airport, Hong Kong’s gateway to the world for 73 years. But on July 6, 1998, the airport’s lights were switched off as Cathay Pacific flight CX251 departed for London, marking the end of an era. Kai Tak Airport holds a special place in the hearts of many people who have fond memories of traveling through it, or for those who used to watch planes land and take off from its iconic runway. While the airport may be gone, its legacy lives on in the memories of those who experienced it.
