KOREAN AIR LINES A300622R HL7583 SEOUL KIMPO BANGKOK
SEPTEMBER 20, 1997
This video features a flight on a business trip from Seoul to Bangkok onboard Korean Air Lines Airbus A300622R HL7583, a leased aircraft from China Northern Airlines.
This flight was taped with the very first generation of video cameras with digital recording on mini DV cassettes. There were neither stabilizing nor focusing features available at that time.
I therefore apologize for the poor video quality and hope that you still can capture the feeling of what it was like to fly in the 90s.
