Famous Landing St. Barths Runway 10 (SBH)

Shot from the cockpit of a Winair Twin Otter landing runway 10, St Barths. This tricky approach has been made famous by the dive-bomb landing pilots must make in order to avoid a hilltop just before the beginning of the runway. The approach used to be much worse until a plane crash into the hillside prompted officials to blast and remove a big portion off the top of the hill, making the approach safer. French authorities require special pilot certification to be able to fly in and out of SBH. Shot by Damon Hoydysh.

Beautiful video! I've been on this plane several times and it is a thrill. Almost as hair raising as the landing on nearby Saba SAB.
