St Maarten arrivals and departures from the touchdown location. Planespotting in 4K SXM

That bloody iguana made me laugh so much I nearly spat out my tea. Fantastic. Thank you.

[@judyfarmer2962]

I just got back from St Maarten. Had the most wonderful time. I walked every day and still managed to sun burn my nose.

I hit "like" right after the first touchdown. I have not seen many videos recorded from such a short distance from the runway! What a pleasure. You could have chosen to keep it for you but instead you chose to share it with us plane-addicts and make us happy. Thank you! 😊 👍

[@elsahelgason6609]

Yes, you are my husband’s that of cause I share’s with you. You always love to fly.

[@Primus54]

Fabulous video. Glad you captured the Delta 757s… the most beautiful narrow body jetliner ever… and the quickest to leap into the air! 👍👍👍

Right on - what a work horse.

Fantastic compilation, great video!

[@Southwest_923WR]

Thank you for this upload! There are millions of videos of people on beach being blown away, claming to be about aircraft landing, when INTIRE premise is the people by that fence! Thank you for a TOTALLY DIFFERENT perspective! You got "👍🏿" and sub at 1:30 mark!🥂

Great share👍👍👍 ciao from italia 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹

This is awesome. Much better spotting location than the beach tbh

[@Calsaviation]

I agree!

[@gisellespringer]

Just got back from this lovely island and saw this vivid view with my own eyes

[@jonathantasker]

As a plane spotter my self, i sat here and watched the full video, i know the pain we go through just staying there for hours on end in the heat, great content man!

I hope there's more of these to come. Princess Juilianna is among my favorite airports on flight Sims!

Excellent views - from other than Maho Beach (which is where I watched planes when I was there.) And for hand-held, it was very smooth. Thanks.

[@wayneschenk5512]

Fantastic footage.

[@danielclooney6248]

So much fun watching this. I need to get on the stick and fly down for a couple of days. Sorry I missed the KLM 747 when it was flying.

[@101candlelight6]

Very nice, I really enjoy these kind of videos, I notice they were taking of in two different directions. I live in Barbados and I go by our only airport on weekends to plane spot.

Great video. Nice to see from another location other than the shore end of the runway. All the best. Mick🇬🇧

I love on the other side of the island it’s pretty great

[@deanladue3151]

Probably don't see very many 747s land there nowadays. I watched a couple of videos where an Astral cargo 747 8-f, and a Magma Cargo 747-400 landed there in 2019 and 2020.

[@redscorpion9411]

That JetBlue plane at 4:05 probably pulled off the smoothest commercial jet landing in the video!

[@gymnast1284]

Hi!! Thanks so much great video. Do you know if 747s still land at Princess Juliana airport??

[@Calsaviation]

Unfortunately they don’t fly the B747s here anymore. Both Air France and KLM have retired them

[@gymnast1284]

@@Calsaviation this is way too sad!!! 747 is my favorite plane of all time, and it was my dream for years to see it flying from St Maarten!!! I will be going there for the first time with my husband this year, who is a very big aviation fan as well. We missed it 😢 😔 😕 😪 😫

man the a350 is a gorgeous aircraft. flew it In 2018 in economy. best economy class ever

[@davidcole333]

The 757's were incredible. Rocket ships.

[@TheGordyb102]

The best views are from the beach. There was an arrival schedule posted on a surfboard at the restaurant so plane spotters could plan when to get out of the water to watch. The activity on the beach went crazy as the large jets approached. You have to go there to experience this airport landings

[@Chris_de_S]

Awesome spot to plane spot from. Are you on the taxiway? Keep up the great work - great talent.

[@TSC777]

0:20 best livery ive ever seen an a321 in

[@anthonyjackson8624]

Why did the first a321 neo groan a bit when the reverser’s opened

[@Calsaviation]

This is a common sound with new PW engines. You hear them on Neo’s and A220s

[@Calsaviation]

But I’m not sure on the exact reason why. People on forums say it’s gears in the engine or something similar that makes a groaning sound

[@_AN_5262]

Lol the iguana was chilling on the runway by watching landings and takeoff 😂😂

[@stephenhenry5577]

Nice- this was about 10 days before I got there with my wife. (I spent 5 days sitting on my balcony at the Morgan Resort planespotting-- heaven- lol)

[@Calsaviation]

Was the Morgan any good? I stayed at the Sonesta and thought it was good but they don’t have any viewing platform

[@stephenhenry5577]

@@Calsaviation Yeah, I enjoyed it-- I mean it was my first time to the Caribbean since I was a child, so I had to lower my expectations of what "island time" was and to not get insulted if the staff sometimes doesn't feel like they want to be bothered, but overall i give it a 4/5 stars. Enjoyed the spotting, enjoyed the food, and it has a great pool and pool area.
