Extreme
plane spotting at Maho Beach, Saint Martin.
Located on the Dutch side of the Caribbean island
of Saint Martin (i.e., Sint Maarten) is the famous
Maho Beach. While it has the characteristic white
sand and turquoise water of a Caribbean paradise
that is not what makes Maho Beach such a popular
tourist destination.
Arriving aircraft must touch down as close as possible
to the beginning of Runway 10 due to the short runway
length of 2,180 meters (7,150 ft), resulting in
aircraft on their final approach flying over the
beach at minimal altitude.
Watching airliners pass over the beach is such a
popular activity that daily arrivals and departures
airline timetables are displayed on a board in most
bars and restaurants on the beach, and one bar even
has a speaker on its outside deck that broadcasts
the radio transmissions between pilots and the airport’s
control tower...
