A visitor from Spain posted Sun October 28, 2007: It´s amazing. you don´t know if the plane is really going to land right there or what is hapenning. And people in the beach make it even better; they look just curious. I would be running!!

A visitor from United States posted Tue July 10, 2007: WOW,nice photo,I would like to see that!!
A visitor from Canada posted Sat July 7, 2007: This would definitely add some excitement to catching some rays on the beach. Has there ever been a case of someone being blown off the beach?
A visitor from Finland posted Fri July 6, 2007: Its just worth it.
A visitor from United States posted Tue July 3, 2007: The illusion that the 747 is practically on the beach - I assume this was a normal landing, but possibly the approach was a little low - does anyone know?
A visitor from Spain posted Tue July 3, 2007: This is THE place to make holidays for spotters, simply incredible !

A visitor from United States posted Sat May 5, 2007: The size of the airliner seems surreal in relation to the rest of the scene.
A visitor from United States posted Sat April 7, 2007: This is incredible! The perspective of the people on the beach makes it fascinating.
A visitor from Australia posted Fri April 6, 2007: I love the fact that it is well lit, it's position is unbelievably low, most people would think it has been photo shopped in. Also having people on the beach gives you a sense of scale. Great timing.
A visitor from Poland posted Wed February 28, 2007: Incredible and amazing
A visitor from Portugal posted Sat February 17, 2007: Great!
A visitor from Germany posted Thu February 15, 2007: Have a nice holiday - adventure is guarantee
A visitor from Spain posted Thu February 8, 2007: Well seing this shot one wonders whether he made it to the runway or he broke a few aproch lights, before putting its wheels down !!!
A visitor from United States posted Sun January 21, 2007: I think you could get a tan from the jetwash alone.
A visitor from Argentina posted Fri January 12, 2007: Cool

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sun October 1, 2006: Hi Justin Great shot!
A visitor from Spain posted Sat September 30, 2006: It's an average shot and quality is not good!
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Fri September 22, 2006: Such a dramatic shot. No blur, technically excellent, for a 'snap' shot.
A visitor from South Africa posted Sun September 10, 2006: Great timing. Being this close to a heavy when landing is an experience that is surely beaten only by being this close to one taking off.
A visitor from Germany posted Fri September 8, 2006: Is it fun to stay at this beach?
A visitor from United States posted Sat September 2, 2006: Great angle - you can see him banking left, too. Not his best approach ever, I would say!
A visitor from Finland posted Sat September 2, 2006: It is exelent
A visitor from Australia posted Wed August 23, 2006: I would love to be in that car!
A visitor from Netherlands posted Sat August 19, 2006: Excellent photo of a place all aviation enthausiats should have been at least once in their lifetime. Sad thing is that I stil have to go... Runway lenght according to the Jeppesen chart: 7152' (2180m)
A visitor from United States posted Tue August 15, 2006: I cant believe how close that AF 747 is to the ground. If your not interested in aviation thats not the best place to be on the beach
A visitor from United States posted Fri August 11, 2006: Unbelievable
A visitor from United States posted Tue August 8, 2006: Moments from landing you can almost touch
A visitor from Norway posted Sat August 5, 2006: That's pretty cool. I wonder if the air from the engines blow all your stuff away when you're so close..
A visitor from Sweden posted Mon July 31, 2006: I dont think you can get enought of these pictures of 747, epesially not the ones trying to land at Maarten =) Toprates /Rickard ,Sweden
A visitor from United States posted Mon July 31, 2006: Wow, that plane is flying low! people could touch it! the pilot must have to pay very close attention. spenser critterton 10
A visitor from United States posted Tue July 25, 2006: Clarity and realism
A visitor from Panama posted Sun July 16, 2006: Since the first time I saw a picture similar to this, I said "I have to go there". And I did. This is MAHO BEACH in Saint Marteen. The runway is so short that big airplanes have to use every single inch of it. I was standing behind when an american airline 777 was blasting off. That was one of the best expirence of my life.
A visitor from United States posted Tue July 11, 2006: The definative Airliners.net photo
A visitor from Canada posted Mon July 10, 2006: Awesome! I wish I was there. Bye the way, what was the length of the runway? Does anybody know?
A visitor from Canada posted Sun July 9, 2006: Thats a great picture up close!!
A visitor from Australia posted Sat July 8, 2006: What a sensational shot- you don't see that everyday!
A visitor from Canada posted Fri July 7, 2006: Wow great picture
A visitor from Norway posted Wed July 5, 2006: WOW! i want to go there NOW!
A visitor from United States posted Wed July 5, 2006: Thats cool, almost like the ones that fly over the beach the 2nd to last time i was in california, similar.
A visitor from United States posted Sun July 2, 2006: Ok but dude needs a better swim suit i mean common its PINK
A visitor from Australia posted Wed June 28, 2006: Love the way people are seriously trying to relax and sunbath on a beach - under a 747
A visitor from Denmark posted Tue June 27, 2006: Awesome photo! well done ;)
A visitor from Japan posted Wed June 21, 2006: Who is that naked man??

A visitor from Poland posted Sat June 10, 2006: Amazing!
A visitor from Denmark posted Tue June 6, 2006: Cool photo!!!
A visitor from Poland posted Thu June 1, 2006: Wow. Incredible
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Wed May 31, 2006: Indeed he is very low...methinks the pilots to St Maarten have competitions to see who can get the lowest and frighten the most tourists...
A visitor from Sweden posted Mon May 29, 2006: Well, he is certainly a little lower than usual, if you look at the lines on the runway, that marks there is a displaced threshold...
A visitor from Netherlands posted Thu May 25, 2006: Watching this while standing on the beach, like this man, must have felt like...! And that roaring noise!
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sun May 21, 2006: That is so cool! Wish I could be there!
A visitor from Singapore posted Tue May 16, 2006: Awesome .... simply Awesome... also... couldnt help but notice that the guy in the foreground.. seems not to be wearing any swim gear... Ermz.. I guess the passengers are having a "nice" view also...
A visitor from India posted Mon May 8, 2006: Wow man! but wonder how the sound will be
A visitor from Ireland posted Wed May 3, 2006: They did say they'd fly direct, but come on!

A visitor from France posted Fri April 21, 2006: The sun the beatch and so on
A visitor from United States posted Wed April 19, 2006: Awesome Photo. Also shows how stupid beach goers can be. again a great photo
A visitor from Canada posted Wed April 19, 2006: To see a plane so close whene you are on the beach. imagine being under it whene it lands, the sound and the view of the passengers. you might see them at your hotel later on.
A visitor from United States posted Tue April 18, 2006: The photographer puts the aircraft size in perspective with the terrain on final approach, crossing the threshhold.
A visitor from Canada posted Thu April 13, 2006: Yikes! One could just hop out of the rear door and enjoy a day at the beach without the airport hassle routine
A visitor from United States posted Sun April 9, 2006: The perspective of the plane to the surroundings is awesome!
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sun April 9, 2006: Nice one
A visitor from Canada posted Sun April 9, 2006: Excellent
A visitor from United States posted Sat April 8, 2006: Captures the pre-touchdown drama and the risk to the beach-goers below.
A visitor from United States posted Wed April 5, 2006: Great picture
A visitor from Kenya posted Fri March 31, 2006: The right place at the right time with camera at the ready.
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Mon March 27, 2006: Excellent picture
A visitor from France posted Thu March 23, 2006: WOW... nice shot, looks like unreal !!
A visitor from Canada posted Wed March 22, 2006: It looks like unreal
A visitor from Canada posted Wed March 22, 2006: This pic rocks
A visitor from Australia posted Tue March 21, 2006: Great shot!It is incredible to be able to see aircraft as big as the 747 as close to people as it is in this picture. I would love to stay on that beach watching the aircraft come in! Well done!
A visitor from United States posted Mon March 20, 2006: Probably the pilots try to remove a nail from his tires before landing? Amazingly close / why destroy a fence that looks apparently new.
A visitor from Sweden posted Sun March 19, 2006: The best of this is when you aproach on TNCM the Airport doesn´t have ILS!! but you can make a VOR aproach so you have to be careful by no fly too low.
A visitor from Sweden posted Tue March 14, 2006: I love the fact that it's a big one landing veeery short.
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Tue March 14, 2006: Must have been one of the Jagaur pilots at Loosiemouth in the early days before the fence was taken down
A visitor from United States posted Mon March 6, 2006: My wife and I transfered from St Maarten and flew on to St. Barths. On approach we flew right over the top of people. I couldn't believe it. Now this picture gives me both perspectives. It's truly amazing. The picture is real.
A visitor from Austria posted Fri March 3, 2006: Great picture!!!!
A visitor from United States posted Sat February 25, 2006: Cool
A visitor from United States posted Sat February 25, 2006: Been there and it's a rush!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A visitor from United States posted Fri February 24, 2006: Great detail and very still. He framed the hole plane and the contrast is great.
A visitor from United States posted Fri February 24, 2006: Thats the sweetest picture ever of the beautiful beast
A visitor from Guatemala posted Wed February 22, 2006: It s impressive, artistic, real, imaginative, combines nature and man-made monsters , just to look and admire both earthly and God s creation. Terrrrrrific .
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sat February 18, 2006: Perhaps the only location a photo, such as this, could be taken.
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Tue February 14, 2006: This is a great shot of a boeing 747, air france.

A visitor from United States posted Sun February 5, 2006: And I thought JAL pilots were crazy! Alejandro
A visitor from Sweden posted Wed February 1, 2006: I guess the tower also control the traffic local lights?
A visitor from Switzerland posted Tue January 31, 2006: You wouldn't think it's real. incredible! Not sure if I'd be at ease bathing there though!
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Tue January 31, 2006: Nice pic shame there was no one brave enogh to stand underneth
A visitor from - posted Sat January 28, 2006: Great example of earth bound (beach,fence,buildings,people) and air bound. In this case the Air France 747. It also exemplifies the precariousness of flight landing on earth.
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Mon January 23, 2006: Great photo!
A visitor from Turkey posted Sun January 22, 2006: Very nice :)

A visitor from United States posted Sat January 7, 2006: Extremely low. Not great detail but great view.
A visitor from United States posted Fri January 6, 2006: "clipper of the fence" heavy cleard to land runway 2L

A visitor from Germany posted Fri December 30, 2005: Unbeliviable - fly air france
A visitor from United States posted Thu December 29, 2005: Incredible action shot in a very hazardous approach area!
A visitor from Netherlands posted Thu December 29, 2005: It is a nice picture
A visitor from United States posted Mon December 26, 2005: I didn't think that a plane would go this low! LOL
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sun December 25, 2005: Wow this is really scary! Great capture though!
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sun December 25, 2005: Cool
A visitor from Canada posted Sun December 25, 2005: Clipper of the fence it certainly is :) Nice one Air France. Brilliant shot!

A visitor from Canada posted Fri December 23, 2005: Incredible shot.
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Fri December 23, 2005: Only in amsterdam can u take a pic like this, with the plane so low 2 the ground.

A visitor from Switzerland posted Thu December 22, 2005: Unbelievable!
A visitor from Poland posted Wed December 21, 2005: SUPERB PHOTO. Pozdrawiam Mati
A visitor from Finland posted Sat December 17, 2005: Never seen anything like that!
A visitor from United States posted Thu December 15, 2005: There is nothing special in this photo
A visitor from Australia posted Thu December 15, 2005: The incongruity of the position and sheer size of the aircraft vs the people on the beach. A bit scary!
A visitor from United States posted Thu December 15, 2005: I've never seen anything like this! It's Unreal. When I first saw this image I thought it was photoshopped.
A visitor from - posted Mon December 12, 2005: This photo helps one understand what the travel books mean when they say "some airport noise". We've been to St. Maarten and I remember reading that comment about some of the hotels/condos prior to leaving. What a fabulous picture taken in a fabulous little island.
A visitor from United States posted Fri December 9, 2005: A few feet/meters lower and it's a water landing.
A visitor from New Zealand posted Wed December 7, 2005: Simply magnificent...This gotta be the aviation enthusiasts FAVORITE beach.
A visitor from United States posted Mon December 5, 2005: I always thought this was fake until, that is, I went to St. Martin. Flying in over that beach is a really weird experience. You almost feel as if you can reach down and touch the people(that particular beach, btw, is probably the worst beach on St. Martin...it's tiny and, well, next to an airport!). Incidentally, the photo is probably taken from a outdoors bar that is quite popular during the day and early evening. I never saw a 747 land, but I saw one take off. But what's really freaky is that at the end of the runaway there stands this seemingly enormous mountain! Every plane, as soon as it lifts off, makes a sharp bank right to avoid hitting this mountain. Trust me, many Gin and Tonics were required before I got on the departing flight!!
A visitor from United States posted Sun November 27, 2005: Capturing the whole plane in the shot while panning perfectly and not having any blur makes this an awesome photo. You also get a good sense of scale with the people in the foreground and the buildings in the back.
A visitor from Bulgaria posted Sat November 26, 2005: Best ever!
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sat November 26, 2005: In this picture you can almost hear the screams from the plane.
A visitor from United States posted Sat November 26, 2005: You can literally "reach out and touch it." I cannot imagine being that close to such a mammoth flagship. I am in awe of this picture. I have to get to that beach. Bring on the wine!
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Fri November 25, 2005: There's no way this can be legal?
A visitor from United States posted Fri November 25, 2005: I love the naked booty!
A visitor from United States posted Sun November 20, 2005: Its a great photo because of the people.
A visitor from Denmark posted Sat November 19, 2005: It's the limbo star. How low can you go?
A visitor from - posted Fri November 18, 2005: This is a fasinating photo.
A visitor from United States posted Thu November 10, 2005: You know, I HAVE to go there sometime just for the airplanes! I'm not a beach freak, but when you can be a few feet away from a 747 and not either be going in or out of it for another one of your "sit there for a few hours and be bored because you're not the pilot" yipeehahawhee flights; or about to be escorted disgracefully from the airliner ramp because you were out with the big guys when you weren't supposed to, it's REALLY worth it! Hahaha! :) P.S., congratulations if you could follow me on that one!
A visitor from United States posted Thu November 10, 2005: Can you believe how close to the beach this aircraft comes. Awesome!! So is St. Marteen
A visitor from Australia posted Thu November 3, 2005: ... Speechless... I'd give anything to be on short finals @ SXM one day!!
A visitor from Australia posted Thu November 3, 2005: I love the classic 74s. AF proving that their pilots can carry these birds as low as they can go. AWESOME!!
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sat October 29, 2005: Just a well taken photo, St Maarten is somewhere we would all like to go to to even try to get shots like this....
A visitor from Canada posted Tue October 25, 2005: Wow, how on earth was a shot like that captured. Unbelievable.
A visitor from United States posted Mon October 24, 2005: Thank you captain obvious (below).
A visitor from Spain posted Sat October 22, 2005: I am a 747 pilot and it is curios, but I can say, this plane is not flying low, it is the airport, which is very near of the beach
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Tue October 18, 2005: Up Personal And Close
A visitor from Australia posted Sat October 15, 2005: That's gotta be loud!
A visitor from Philippines posted Thu October 13, 2005: I've seen the same thing in action here in Tacloban City, Leyte Philippines where beyond the runway is a beach, but is not a resort and the airport only acommodate B737's and A320's. Only that, photographing of the aircraft is prohibited, can somebody tell me why do they prohibit such act???
A visitor from Belgium posted Sun October 9, 2005: This look is SO crazy
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Thu October 6, 2005: This looks crazy, don't people get hurt!!!
A visitor from United States posted Mon October 3, 2005: That is gorgeous, even the Air France Part! (for the first time ever)

A visitor from Australia posted Tue September 20, 2005: St.Maarten Beats Tai Kai Any Day!
A visitor from Hungary posted Mon September 19, 2005: I really like this photo. I have fs2004. Anyone knows how can I download a good free scenery of it?
A visitor from United States posted Sun September 18, 2005: WOW! I bet I can reach up and touch the gear and then get blown back into the ocean! Sounds fun. :)
A visitor from Portugal posted Sat September 17, 2005: Amazing photo. Shame about the weather. Imagine being under it during the approach.
A visitor from Australia posted Sat September 17, 2005: Such a rare shot! Congratulations on perfectly capturing it!
A visitor from United States posted Wed September 14, 2005: I was there and its great to see these planes take off and land. They blow the water back out of the bay. There's a great bar called the sunset beach bar where you can watch these babies land.
A visitor from United States posted Mon September 12, 2005: I don't like the man's butt in the foreground.
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sun September 11, 2005: Just amazing shot! JUST GREAT!
A visitor from United States posted Thu September 8, 2005: The feature that appeals to me is the (1) one of a time photo of an airliner (no doubt the pilot(s) flying skills) of just clearing obsticles and the closness of the people to the actual landing of the aircraft.
A visitor from Canada posted Thu September 8, 2005: It's as if it would be impossible to do this type of landing! This is unreal. A brilliantly captured aviation moment.
A visitor from United States posted Tue September 6, 2005: Very impressive shot!
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Fri September 2, 2005: Superb shot can you imagine getting a shot of a lifetime like this one here in the uk !!! i thought my photography was good ? dek.t
A visitor from Germany posted Fri September 2, 2005: SXM still offers the best chances for real low flying ac pics :-)
A visitor from United States posted Thu September 1, 2005: You can see EVERYTHING in this photo, except the peoples faces in the windows, who are on the plane. Great shutter work.
A visitor from United States posted Wed August 31, 2005: Its all in the details
A visitor from Poland posted Tue August 30, 2005: Fantastic shot!
A visitor from India posted Mon August 29, 2005: Just amazing........
A visitor from Canada posted Mon August 29, 2005: It's really difficult to catch a high-speed moving object like this.
A visitor from France posted Sun August 28, 2005: St Maarten is SO well known for that kind of pictures... incredible ! Congradulations to ALL pilots doing it , each days !!!
A visitor from Sweden posted Sun August 28, 2005: I specially like the nude guy watching the landing. :-)
A visitor from Germany posted Sat August 27, 2005: Just amazing!
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sat August 27, 2005: Amazing
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sat August 27, 2005: Great plane spotting destination plenty of heavies arriving here.
A visitor from United States posted Sat August 27, 2005: This is such an amazing photo that I actually felt the need to confirm its authenticity with my cousin who is a pilot. He told me that not only was it an authentic photo, but an amazing thing to see in person as well. I think as a vacationer it would be awesome for about an hour or two, but after that point it wouldn't exactly be a relaxing tropical vacation!
A visitor from Sweden posted Fri August 26, 2005: Close call.
A visitor from Italy posted Thu August 25, 2005: I think that a photo had to be extrordinary or strange and this is so.
A visitor from Norway posted Wed August 24, 2005: A very nice photo goodjob
A visitor from United States posted Wed August 24, 2005: The proximity of the aircraft to the bathers is awesome. The photograph is great but the location does it for me
A visitor from Switzerland posted Tue August 23, 2005: What a noisy beach :-)
A visitor from United States posted Tue August 23, 2005: First it is a beach he/she is about to land on, then a school football field?? The shot is crisp and clear, just beautiful. The man standing there in his little trunks is not bad to look at either!
A visitor from United States posted Mon August 22, 2005: Just a great Photo!
A visitor from Germany posted Mon August 22, 2005: I've seen lots of pics and videos of this beach and every time I wish I was there on my next vacation. Someday...
A visitor from France posted Sat August 20, 2005: A very common seashore landscape and this huge machine filling the horizon
A visitor from Sweden posted Sat August 20, 2005: U can almost touch it before it lands, it seems.
A visitor from United States posted Fri August 19, 2005: Makes you want to visit this beach to see just how close the planes come.
A visitor from South Africa posted Fri August 19, 2005: The position of the aircraft in relation to the spectators on the beach. Surely the engine wash would not be very good to anyone lying on the beach though?
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Thu November 25, 2004: I think that the picture is great, but the quality lets it down alot
A visitor from Australia posted Thu November 25, 2004: UNREAL PIC HEY, GREAT ONE
