My husband and I spent our vacation on St. Maarten one year and quite a few times we would go down to the airport to see the planes ✈️ come in and take off. It is really breathtaking to see how low they come in...barely clearing the fence! But the most exhilarating sight was the KLM 747 coming in from Amsterdam, however, they have discontinued that flight quite some time ago. Thanks for sharing this video...it brings good memories back.

3:36 - Even the birds are like, "Wow, This is fun."

Being a commercial pilot has got to be one of the most stressful jobs on earth. RESPECT

Big boeings 🛫🛩️👏👏 beautiful Sinnt Maarten

The 747 is always an impressive plane to watch.

Я никогда там не был, но запах керосина почувствовал! 😃

Loved seeing the SD3-60s, and the 747s were incredible!

Fantastic footage! Many thanks!

Super throwback shots man!😎

Takeoffs are awesome!!!

What a sight to behold!

Excellent footage 👍 Thank you.

Princess Juliana, lot of love.. great spot

Amazing video Cargo!!!! You are the best!👍👍👍

Certainly the most majestic airplane ever built. also the runway at 2:05 looks so small and short compared to this bird. she's huge!

Telephoto lenses compress the foreground considerably. the runway is 7000' long. It probably looks half that with the zoom effect.

Nunca e viajado en una pero me encanta los aviones

Eccellente pilota. Conmplimenti.

Awesome starts and landings, at Maho Beach.......

KLM é mto lindoooooo, amo.

Can you see the fanblades spinning as the TUI 787 rotates... amazing

What a cool, beautiful video.

A very beautiful airport and is one of the greatest settings in the world to spot. Great compilation Ty

Amazing🤩👏🏼👌🏼❤✈

Its make me want to fly there to feel the amazing landing n take off ... hmm it would be unforgettable experience..

This airport manages to assemble as many aircraft hard to find in other locations as the newest in aviation.

this is so fantastic !!

Great 747 liftoff

Not that standard to me; the production of this video was superb, the moments of every movements made by the planes were recorded meticulously using excellent filming techniques...Great!

Love those 747’s! For anyone wondering, the Airbus A380 can also land and takeoff at Sint Maarten airport, as the A380 has lower takeoff and landing speeds, and lower runway length requirements! Great video, excellent footage! 👍🏻

Airbus A380 may be able to land at St Maarten but don't think the Airport infrastructure has been upgraded to handle pax and luggage/cargo requirements. Airports around the world spent millions to upgrade their infrastructure to cater for A380, so sad, soon all these will amount to nothing.

The birds at 3:36 are all of us, lol.

Great editing too. Because, note that pilot’s air speed coming in. I mean I know some of it is the camera angle...but that plane had to be above the recommended speed for that short runway. Birds are like...”duuude, slow down!”

Awesome !Thank you for the video 👍😊

I love it !

Risk of tailstrike must be high on take-off. The runway seems relatively short. Pilots (I guess) are likely to be conscious of the hills ahead and of the need to climb steeply . . .

Oh my God danger airpot

Very Nice 👍😍🌞🌊🌴🏖️⛱️🌅🌄

7:38 good choice by the Bird.

Danger (Maho beach) but best spotting place

What a cool place. Paradise. Correct me if I’m wrong, but it looks like there’s little margin for error at the airport. Takeoff toward a mountain; the ascents look relatively steep. Seems like a short strip for landing 747s and 777s (not going by the skewed length from the telephoto lens).

At 1:30 it does not seem that the young lady is aware of the approaching vehicle. If she had stepped or stumbled backward she would have gotten a bumper rash. Also, KLM seems to have a certain affinity for the 747. I have seen other videos with KLM flying the type. Most other air carriers seemed to have moved on to newer airframes.

Very Nice Airport Open
