KLM, a Boeing 747 and SXM airport. All the ingredients!

A visitor from - posted Sat February 28, 2009:
Great angle for this shot. Most photos at SXM are on the beach perpendicular to the plane's flight path. Great idea to get out in the water for a different perspective.

A visitor from Portugal posted Tue February 17, 2009:
So harmless! amazing how close they go

A visitor from Canada posted Sun January 18, 2009:
What a great picture, it would be a completly diffrent picture if the Air Frace was no back there ;)

A visitor from - posted Wed January 14, 2009:
SXM.Where amazing happens!

A visitor from - posted Sun December 7, 2008:
Stunning: AFKLM @ SMX in the same pic!

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Thu May 8, 2008:
This photo makes a refreshing change, so many shots are just side on views, this ads a new perspective to the approach.

A visitor from United States posted Mon April 7, 2008:
About 10 meters lower and those people could have been able to touch the underbelly of the aircraft!

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sun March 30, 2008:
The sheer scale of this wonderful aircraft and how undisturbed the guys on the beach are

A visitor from Senegal posted Sat December 1, 2007:
Finally someone who dare to show us another angle then the usual ones!

A visitor from Brazil posted Sun November 25, 2007:
Yup, a new angle in SXM makes the difference.. great shot, indeed

A visitor from - posted Fri November 23, 2007:
Pretty scary! This B-747 flew so low that anyone could touch the landing gear. However, the picture is perfect and taken at the right time.

A visitor from Russian Federation posted Sat November 17, 2007:
Nice shoot

A visitor from India posted Wed September 12, 2007:

A visitor from Sweden posted Thu May 24, 2007:
Wow this is one of the best shots from SXM. The man should hold on his hat

A visitor from Finland posted Thu May 24, 2007:
Finally a new angle of image at SXM! This really shows how low over the beach the final is! Hope the camera didn't get wet!

A visitor from United States posted Thu May 24, 2007:

A visitor from Canada posted Wed May 23, 2007:
Amazing

A visitor from United States posted Wed May 23, 2007:

A visitor from Canada posted Wed May 23, 2007:
His is an awsome photograph.I can imagine sitting on the beach,while feeling the planes jetting overhead.Awesome shot!!!!

A visitor from United States posted Tue May 22, 2007:
It's soooooo cool to see this from the water! I hope there will be more like this in the future. I love seeing the shots from SXM, but they are always on the beach. More from the water!!

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Tue May 22, 2007:
Agree with previous poster from USA. Eventually someone has come up with a new angle to photo from at SXM. A very refreshing change, and a great shot too. Well done.

A visitor from Mexico posted Tue May 22, 2007:

Well done! This is a view of the famous Maho Beach approach that we don't often get here on Airliners.net, which it makes it all the more enjoyable!

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Tue May 22, 2007:
