I was kind of lucky. Flew in TG600 scheduled arrival 1150. We were told we are going into a hold for about 20 minutes because of bad WX and many aircraft over the aerodrome already attempting to land.

Finally we continued towards HKG some time just after 1200 and landed first attempt but I will admit it was man vs. machine vs. nature. A thrilling ride.

It would roll, it would shake, it would drop. Left engine on full throttle, right engine silent, then switch. The people who were driving this thing sure earned their salary on that one. ^
