Aviation Princess Juliana International Airport, St. Maarten

[scotty707]

Recently took a trip to St. Maarten. I could have spent all day watching the planes come in!

For those of you who don't know, Princess Juliana International Airport is famous for its final approach where planes pass over Maho Beach just before landing. The end of the runway is about 50 feet from the beach and tourists are typically found holding onto the airport fence when flights take off.
