A visitor from Netherlands posted Sun September 3, 2006: I've been there, and i can tell you, you do not want to jump when a big plane lands, because you'l be blasted away by the slipstream and land with your face down in the sand :p anyway, make sure to bring earplugs, and behind the fotographer is a bar were you can relax and watch the planes. man i love St. Martin!

A visitor from United States posted Tue February 7, 2006: Even though still in the "practice" phase, the French have adopted a new method of lopping off heads, i.e., from the guillotine to Airbus Michelin tires. Bon chance!

A visitor from Taiwan posted Mon February 6, 2006: Great shot!!

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Mon February 6, 2006: Was he checking if the wheel brakes were off
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sun February 5, 2006: Excellent shot, I would love to be standing underneath that! :-D
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sun February 5, 2006: This is a great picture! I love the way the water is coming up on the beach and rolling back at the same time. It actually looks like the airplane is at that point in the sky and hasn't just been put there out of the blue and the people in the picture are actually looking at it which makes it all the more realistic and a lot better than come illusions I have seen which are clearly computer generated but this actually looks like a photo!
A visitor from France posted Sun February 5, 2006: What a low approach!!!!I really would like to go there!!!!I'll take this flight from CDG with the same approach I hope!!!!really good shot from SXM, and I think they should sell some postcard with these awesome landings....will LFPL.
