Awesome perspective! Check out that AF heavy on the ramp :)

A visitor from United States posted Sat September 9, 2006:
I really wanted to see this photot from this angle!! Thanks!

A visitor from United States posted Sat February 18, 2006:
It's an obscure aircraft with a nice looking approach into an area I'd rather be flying into. I'm a pilot in the Northern U.S. and the snow is a flyin'.

A visitor from United States posted Thu February 16, 2006:
With the airport that close to the beach, I now understand why there are so many low approaches over the beach.

A visitor from United States posted Wed February 8, 2006:
Nice approach - good feeling on a much lighter aircraft - especially in windy conditions. I hear the engines stabilizing the Norman.

A visitor from Spain posted Tue January 31, 2006:
I love photos taken on final, specially by the sea.

A visitor from Switzerland posted Tue December 13, 2005:
Awesome picture!

A visitor from Germany posted Sat November 19, 2005:
Brings back old memories, after having flown this type A/C so many times into Helgoland/Germany and into the North sea Islands of Germany and the Netherlands

A visitor from United States posted Thu November 17, 2005:
"that's the FO's seat." There isn't an FO on an Islander, is there? If you're lucky enough you get to sit up front. There looks just enough runway to get an Islander in, but imagine this view from the front seat of a Jumbo...

A visitor from India posted Tue November 15, 2005:
Its always fun to see the airliner approach for landing. great photo !-Amurt

A visitor from Finland posted Sat November 12, 2005:
So this is what it looks like to the pilots' eyes, great photo!

A visitor from Canada posted Sat November 12, 2005:
It makes u feel like your there.i knew where i was before even looking at the title. for those of u who dont fly or get to sit up front thats what u see.

A visitor from United States posted Fri November 11, 2005:
I am soooo envious of you! Great shot, great location....
You get an A+ my friend!

A visitor from United States posted Fri November 11, 2005:
Spectacular! A new angle for this wonderful approach.

A visitor from United States posted Fri November 11, 2005:
Love seeing shots from the smaller planes at the big ports.

A visitor from United States posted Fri November 11, 2005:
My dear friend that is not the jumpseat... that's the FO's seat but great shot nonetheless

A visitor from Trinidad And Tobago posted Fri November 11, 2005:
Nice change to be able to see the beach from the plane rather than the plane from the beach.... Great shot!!!

A visitor from Germany posted Fri November 11, 2005:
I love photos from St. Maarten!

A visitor from United States posted Fri November 11, 2005:

The runway is closer to the sea than I thought, that's brilliant...for Spotters.

Surely SXM is the best LOW approach in the world!!!!with beaches and palms...what better???even LAX is not so awesome...

A visitor from Greece posted Fri November 11, 2005:
Nice to see this wonderful airport from the captains point of view.

A visitor from Turkey posted Fri November 11, 2005:

A visitor from United States posted Fri November 11, 2005:

A visitor from Netherlands posted Fri November 11, 2005:
Wow. This capture gives an awesome view of how close the piano keys are to the beach. Very welcome addition to the many shots taken from the ground.

A visitor from Germany posted Fri November 11, 2005:
