History Channel Worlds Ten Extreme Airports (marked for deletion)

Was watching the History Channel on the worlds 10 Extreme airports. Number 8 was the old Kai Tak Airport in Hong Kong.
As part of the Kai Tak Airport video you can see an AA plane (two different times during the program) parked on the tarmac at Kai Tak Airport. That has to be over 13 yeras ago as Kai Tak Airport was closed in 1998.

What was an AA plane doing at Kai Tak Airport?
Did AA ever do maintenace there?
A charter?
Did History do some poor video editing?

FWIW, I searched airliners.net and there's not a single photo of AA metal at Kai Tak. I'd think there would be at least a handful of photos if AA ever regularly flew there.

Fork stuck

OK, this is in no way related to American Airlines, the topic is nearly a year old, and it would serve no purpose to cross-post or ship this to another Forum. Please follow BLI-Flyer's link to TravelBuzz! to discuss further.

Thank you. /Moderator
