Landing in Sint Maarten

[Streckman]

I thought I'd follow up my Sint Maarten trip report with a video of a plane landing at SXM. This was taken from the beach that fronts the runway!!

Wow that would freak me out!!!

Freaky is right! The old air strip in Hong Kong was pretty freaky ten or so years ago as well. It has all changed now for the better.

Been there and saw it and yes it is pretty cool watching them land I am sure the people on board think they are going to go right into the water.

Kinda reminds me of New Orleans...Years ago... your sitting there looking out of the window and all you see is the green slime of the swamp...then the front wheels hit the ground and you are still looking at the swamp from you seats in the back in the plane. Pretty scary. They must have added more runway or use a different one now cause I haven't freaked out in the last few years.
