"Tower, Caraibes missed miss, I mean, going around".

This shot truly evokes thoughts of the miracle of flight. Hovering above the road, cars, and woman is a machine not much larger than the automobiles but that can beat down the air with its wings and fly. And, it's going 100 mph :). Flying really is a miracle 5*****

Only 3 meters over the street is normal in SBH, and then a nose down approach to the 500 metres short runway...you captured it really good

A visitor from United States posted Thu December 4, 2008:
I would have executed a go around if I caught eye with that fine specimen standing there. :)

Amazing Capture, But even more so for those that know where the actual strip is.

A visitor from United States posted Sat October 4, 2008:
Nice job! Very crisp photo, and good detail. I'm impressed you were able to track a fast, low flying aircraft that well. I've flown into SBH, and that extremely low approach is normal there; the runway is very short and the local geography makes landing difficult.

Don't know if there's a perspective effect but it seems very very low limit ..

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sun April 27, 2008:
Get a 747 to land there and SXM sucks :P,its really weird to approach the runway "down the hill"

A visitor from Germany posted Fri April 25, 2008:
Great capture! is your wife carrying your heineken? that's what i call spotting!

A visitor from - posted Thu April 24, 2008:
Mmm.... if i were there i would like to throw a rock into the plane! kidding... Nice shot you are absolutely lucky to capture that plane. Maybe the pilot got an overspeeding ticket?

A visitor from United States posted Thu April 24, 2008:
Wow, that's amazing. How low can you go?
