Just got back from Turkey on Thursday & there was a pretty bad storm that started just the day we were leaving. There was pretty bad lightening so we had to sit on the plane for about half an hour waiting for it to pass. Taking off looked pretty crazy as you could see the lightening on both sides of the plane. I was pretty scared, its only my 2nd flight. I've never been so happy to be touching down in the shitty town I live in, I have a lot of respect for pilots.
@B3NJ4M1NOX Uhh did you ever think that maybe that was the only place they had space to put it? St. Maarten is a pretty small island with a lot of terrain. Large expanses of flat land suitable for airports is kind of hard to come by.
@B3NJ4M1NOX The island's dimensions are too small to put an airport anywhere else. This was the only convenient place that can host a wide range of aircraft.
@B3NJ4M1NOX Yes I think they should but a load of tourists only go to the island to see this beach, so they would lose a lot of money shutting this beach down.
This gotta be the perfect airport for those maniacs (Airplane spotters or whatever they like to call themselves) standing around all day just to look at airplanes xD
@Solja2010 No, it is not that. Concord has a very aerodynamic fuselage and is longer than that aircraft. Also it could not be stopped in time with the short runway at TNCM.
Didn't know they'd let a plane take off from the other side of the runway. Always thought Departing planes at Princess Juliana had to take off from the Beach Side.
Excellent views!!! I'm surprised of those two guys that grabbed the fence behind Air France A340!!! my god!! They were lucky they weren't injured by the turbines!!!
@joerisoldier so your say the gear of one of the biggest planes touched the beach where there is a fence and a gaurd rail. sorry but just didn't happen. and the beach is like ten feet away from the runway.not on the news either
@galdrier It's Sint and not Saint, because the Island is part of the Dutch Antilles, where they speak Dutch. Maybe in the USA it's called Saint Martin, but that's not the correct name. ;)
I was there in december. 5 days on Maho beach to enjoy all landings. It was my child dream to get there!!!! Really an incredible experience for people loving the planes
im 14 and when im old enough im going to maho beach just to have the brill experiance of planes because im a compleate nerd on planes and know pretty much every thing about
i have landed here but i did not get out of the airport but when we were landing i flicked off some one and they saw me so that how the airplane gets oh nd i was in da plane
I was walking my pet hamster on the beach when a plane flew over and sucked him up in the engines and sparks and fire flew out . Then when I looked down he was back! But he was all mad and wouldn't do the hamster dance for a week after that.
acho q eles ficam disputando pra vem qm passa mais baixo da praia ^^ ms ae indico esse aqui pra qm nao vio ainda (mais um... mais um... mais um...) é ainda bem mais baixo:)
this is very similar to chicago-midway airport. you get stopped at a red light on 54th and cicero avenue and the plane is landing about 10 feet over your car...
American airline doesnt own an airbus a321. They own an Aribus a300 but it's shorter and wider than the 757. 757 is longer and more narrow. (was just making sure I was right)
