A visitor from - posted Sat June 20, 2009: Feel the power of the Jumbo Jet! Really good stuff, thanks for sharing it. - Brett
A visitor from Australia posted Tue December 9, 2008: Awesome viewing angle, so many shots of SXM are from the beach - nothing wrong with that - but this is a nice dramatic difference. Here's a shot in the dark, anyone know where abouts on the island this was taken? I will be in St Maarten in March 09 and would like to find this spot on the hill!!!

A visitor from United States posted Sun April 30, 2006: Great angle on the 747! Btw the runway is about 2300m
A visitor from United States posted Thu April 27, 2006: Now it is rare to see a 747 in that kind of angle...one word WOW. I love the jetblast too
A visitor from Hong Kong posted Mon March 27, 2006: How short this runway!. look like take off from aircraft carrier

A visitor from Sweden posted Sat February 18, 2006: The 747 is going to another airport close by to refuel fo it's 7 hour flight.
A visitor from Netherlands Antilles posted Sat February 18, 2006: It is a fantastic shot. However, next stop is Point a Pitre, Guadeloupe. Not Paris.
A visitor from United States posted Fri February 17, 2006: THat must be a long flight! Excellent shot. 3 thumbs up! ummmmm... YEAH
A visitor from United States posted Wed February 8, 2006: How long is this runway? I'm amazed at how a 747 with the fuel needed to make it to Europe, can take off from such a short runway! Amazing!
A visitor from Austria posted Mon February 6, 2006: It always amazes me how those big airplanes can get airborne on this relatively short runway. very beautiful shot!
A visitor from United States posted Fri January 27, 2006: Beautiful scenery, almost has that top gun look.really amazing of the power of something so big.
A visitor from United States posted Wed January 25, 2006: Great shot...the people on the beach don't need any towels..they can dry themselves in the warm jetblast
A visitor from Chile posted Mon January 23, 2006: What a nice picture, you can really to appreciate the velocity and the strong take off for this 747's.
A visitor from United States posted Thu January 19, 2006: Woah!!! love the jet blur and exhaust
A visitor from United States posted Fri January 6, 2006: This is an example of the huge power of the 747. Lets see the A380 do that!
A visitor from Canada posted Fri January 6, 2006: Amazing photo! Great angle. I really like this shot, because it shows how short SXM's runway is. The 743 sure has it's flaps down quite far.
A visitor from Germany posted Thu January 5, 2006: The shadow of the 747 shows how high it already is. Considering the very short runway of SXM and the fact that it's gonna fly nonstop to Paris and therefore being heavily loaded with fuel, the performance is remarkable. There is a similar picture of a A340 though.
A visitor from Malaysia posted Thu November 25, 2004: Truly amazing

A visitor from Canada posted Thu November 25, 2004: Very dramatic! runway looks like a postage stamp and airplane looks like it is on the verge of a stall. however...i think i have seen enough sxm photos to last me a life time. rdeb.
A visitor from United States posted Thu November 25, 2004: Nice colors contrasting with the jetblast. Excellent angle.
A visitor from United States posted Thu November 25, 2004: This pic makes it like a movie!
A visitor from United States posted Thu November 25, 2004: Demonstrtes the awesome power of the 747-I love it
