The KLM 747 coming into land on the waters edge at Sunset Beach on the island of St. Maarten, Netherland Antilles. |

The bath in Jet Fumes/Fuel (if they dumped any before landing) must be downright pleasant!
Add to this the deafening noise......

This is a tradition on St. Maarten, you have go to the beach and stand under the 747 as it comes in!
It's doing 130 knots so the noise is over in a blink, jet fumes not really a consideration when landing...
Taking off...that's a different story!

It really is a neat place, especially in you like planes. There is a very long, empty beach that runs parallel to the run way. I really enjoyed watching the planes take off and land as a break from swimming, etc.

Thanks for that link. I feel for them trying to get those pictures! I had a hard enough time with people jumping in the way on almost every shot.
that is a great bar there too. One Sunday some locals were playing music and this kid jumps in with the musicians playing air guitar - he was about 3 yrs old and he was rocking out for a almost every song! great times there.

The beach on Simpson Bay! Yeah, some great times on that beach too!
I was hoping to see some more winter scenes posted here from up north with VW's, it's Vanagon desert down here! |
