[soldier50160]

[Ooooohhhhhhhhh]

1 person doesn't realise how elegant that landing was.

[DeltaAirtran]

I like how you kept it very smooth!

[TheMadmoney246]

Jon are you the pilot and just got a friend to tape that or are you the one video this

[MegaGansta24]

WOW! what version of REX is that,your graphics look so realistic :D

[shadyz2009]

Good landing but,

I would love the plane to be lower

Almost to hang in in the gear lol

[MrGoldbaer]

Bounce.. :)

[thefsxandREALpilot]

OMG THE WORST LANDING I THINK I EVER SAW!! haha seriously first touchdown was hard as hell then HUUUUUGE bounce then another hard touchdown but very nice video thanks for posting

[witull]

@thefsxandREALpilot Yeah, we know that you're the best :)

[FSXFS2OO4]

@InfiniteSaviour49 its real world, man..

[davidoptimal]

wow! bouncy :P

[rggfgjerjh]

that is one of the highest approaches i have seen at st.maarten

[seno862]

bouncy landing

[andeegreen]

great footage, but the KLM landing is waaaay lower than this. this came in so high & long, i was waiting for it to career into the mountain mate...lol

[Teebll]

That was pretty cool...I bet the passengers didn't realize how close they were...

[tiggfigg]

This is the greatest Princess Juliana Airport video to date. Good camera work.

[USAF300]

Great video. Great Quality.

[guy014]

Great video Jon! My god... that thing is huge!

[FlightProduction]

Did you make more videos? will u uploade them?

[Jon5700]

Yep! I'll be uploading them periodically :)

[johnywebb]

Loved it ,best HD ver ive seen of TNCM and to think you were there taking it ,I soppose i envy you now, tell me does it look a lot bigger being there ,

[Jon5700]

It did look a lot bigger actually being there! I expected it to be a lot more crowded as well but it wasn't at all. It's a place all plane lovers should visit!

[NavyAviation2016]

nice landing, and a quite handsome looking plane too.

[Tuddley3]

I've been waiting all week for this video, I see you are already having fun. Don't forget to get some footage of the girls on the beach too Jon.

[MrSolid95]

lol...I wish he does.

[FSXDreams]

Nice to really be there...is this one from your "i-whatever" or video camera? -cuz it came out great!

[Jon5700]

This was actually filmed with my camcorder :) I wish the iPhone was this great!

[BlackTwister999]

so you went there ;)

[pedrosura]

You know what you get for getting a greaser landing in St. Marteen? NOTHING! Not even a free drink...

You know what you get for coming low and almost hitting the fence? a horrible feeling. You know what you get for floating? a horrible feeling.

[Exocisme]

Omg guys !!!... You can't compare flightsim with the real world !!! I am talking with experience ! - Please think before you write anything :( Or ask me, i am a pilot student in Denmark - If you have any question.

[Exocisme]

If you have any question ask me instead of just guessing..

[globespan767]

Dam....I can land better than that! still great footage though. looking forward to seeing more !

[davidc437]

try doing it after 7 Hours of flight, probably starting at night....... landing a plane in real life is harder than in FS.

[globespan767]

most of that 7 hours the plane would of been on autopilot

[nik0lhc]

@davidc437 it's not that difficult

the pilots land it as they always do

it doesn't take some different technique or anything

as long as the pilots don't get nervous because it's suposed to be difficult and dangerous

[davidc437]

@nik0lhc I would suppose its second nature, as it is for any pilot, like a clutch on a car etc. Probably no sense in my earlier comment ;)

[nik0lhc]

@davidc437 yeah

take off is much more stressfull and dangerous bwcause the plane is very heavy with all the fuel and stuff and if it doesn't go up then.......

landing after 7 hours of flying is kinda difficult

of course it's harder than FS but there is not much difference in the technique

and that landing was not good

that airport is not difficult to land

but pilots think it is and they get stressed

[witull]

@nik0lhc One of the approach in TNCM is DME Arc with racetrack - one of the most difficult approaches.

[nik0lhc]

@witull ohhh i didn't know that

[B767jason300FS]

sure you can.

[ProFlightSimMedia]

Ah, the arrogance of youth.

So, you can do a non-precision NDB approach with no ILS with about 340 passengers, fuel and 3000+ lbs. of baggage all depending on your "Skillz"?

If, so you are a better man than I...

[myrandomspaces]

kinda high approach...

[EmbraerERJ195]

Most definitely one of the best place on earth.

[BIASpotter]

any chance you could get the MD-11?

lovley looking bird =)

keep the vids coming

[Jon5700]

I unfortunately did not get the MD-11 :(

[FLIGHTCOMPANY]

Hey Jon,

I didn't get to see the A340. Kinda sucks for I didn't know when it arrives.

[adrypiloto]

John did you live near TNCM ?

[DalmationHuscky]

He's there on vacation right now I do believe.

[rggfgjerjh]

he is taking a trip there or that is what he said he was doing on a diferent

[Jon5700]

I do not, unfortunately. I live in KY (Kentucky, USA)

[deltafan909]

Jon5700, is your home airport KCVG?? I am actually inside of the KCVG class Bravo airspace.

[Jon5700]

it's actually KSDF :)

[deltafan909]

[ihor69]

do the cars have to stop until the plane goes over? or were they just lookiing?

[Jon5700]

I believe it's just a precaution some people take. I didn't stop when I drove under some :)

[fabiocravinho]

Focking beautifull!!!!

[zazu27604]

[TheLiLD95]

sweet! I cant wait till I go there!! Hope ur having a good time!!

[planemadmatt]

Horrible landing, just horrible!!!

[icecreamman93]

What was horrible about it? I would definately like to know.

[planemadmatt]

I was exaggerating, no need to panic. God, why does everyone have to be so serious around here?

[volcom1722]

Why was it horrible?

You obviously dont know anything about flying planes.

Your not even a pilot.

Its better then what you could do. And any landing everyone can walk away from is a good landing ok?

It was rough? NOT HORRIBLE!

(This comment is aimed at planemadmatt

[planemadmatt]

It was just a comment and you just took it a little seriously. I was just exaggerating that the landing was bad, no need to take a hissy fit. Sheesh...

[icecreamman93]

Planemadmatt, I did not critisize, I simply inquired. Note the question mark. What's wrong with asking a question?

[planemadmatt]

It was a sarcastic and rhetorical question. That's what's wrong.

[icecreamman93]

Mine? Seriously? Dude I don't know what fired you up but my comment was definately not meant to affend you.

[KrazyTrain18]

Totally

[cappilot12]

awesome!

[ryanairways]

when do u go there

[risewiththelive1]

Nice..

[Blatpoppin5]

Very cool

i didnt know vehicles couldn't be driving pass the runway while the plane was landing (would make sense though), it also sounded very windy & that landing looked kind of hard =/

[Airforceproud95]

Beastly! Did you get video of your plane landing there? 5/5 - HD is amazing

[alekos84]

cool we are waiting for the KLM :)

[atvmaster281]

That was sweet! i cant wait until i get to fly the C400 down there this summer

[adamski895RS]

Gotta go there one day

[tankerkk]

Great tropical paradise, nice job jon,,,

[rickya350]
