Boy! Am I behind the times? LOL.

Thank you all for the updates guys. I was always awestruck as I
lookout over the wings for that last turn to final for the old airport.
It's been awhile since I flew(as a passenger) that route.

the ran a good report some time back on TV about the construction of the
island, the highway, bridge, the undersea-highway tunnel, etc.

they were not in time (they wanted to be done when Hong Kong fell back to
China) because they feared that the Chinese will stop further construction.
It took them one year longer than planned, but IIRC the whole thing took
them 5 or 6 years.
