All taken by plane enthusiasts.
Some truly dramatic pix taken at SXM (St.Maarten/ St.Martin) due to the extreme proximity of the airport to the Maho Beach. One side of the airport is mountain, the other side is ocean. The landing always is approached from the ocean.
On our cruise we made a point to get to Maho at the St.Martin port day before 1pm, to make sure we would at least see a jet landing. We got an AA 757. Never in our lives we have been sooooo close to a flying airplane with its landing gears down, and directly underneath - every details under its belly was clearly visable... What a look!
