IT'S DA PLANE, BOSS!! IT'S DA PLANE!!!

Recommended Posts

These are some photos of St Maarten Airport. The planes impress most people on the beach, flying over just seconds before touching down at Princess Juliana airport. Paradise for the beach lovers, having a lovely tropical beach, and for the aviation fanatics that spends hours on end observing the very low flying skills of giant commercial plane pilots.

12 Boeing 747s operate daily to St. Maarten. The heavy jumbo is the most impressive of all and attracts the looks of everybody around...

Photo plane07.jpg, from inside one 747 of Air France, it’s possible to have one idea of the small strip of beach just before the head of the landing strip for planes in St. Maarten.

You know, people used to try to forward me stuff like this all the time, but you reach a point when everything has pretty much been seen and it becomes very annoying.

Well, hopefully someone is enjoying all the e-mail forwards you post.

Yeah. I don't post in Bonfire like I used to, its all getting tiresome actually. Oh well, I still love getting to help people get answers to their questions and I still love learning from all the extremely experienced people you'll see in the topical forums.

Hey now, I'm not coming down on Billy, although we've never met I bet he's a good guy (seems like it atleast). The e-mail forward postings just reminded me of how people used to try to Fwd all sorts of crap like that to me.

Pic 03 looks like the main gear are not fully extended, seems like the tires aren't oriented correctly.

Any ideas on why it might look wrong?

The wheels just don't look right, kinda like their retracting or something.

I am familiar with the 747, designed stuff at Boeing for 8 years.

I can't believe that the beach is not restricted there. That is a close encounter.

The nose gear looks like it is vertical, but the plane is at a significant angle of attack. Something doesn't seem right. I have no doubt that airport is a cool place to watch landings, but that pic 3 looks wrong.
