An American Airlines twin-engine jet flying across Maho Beach. The runway is directly to the right in the photo. This photo and the next five were taken from the SSB&G.
Taken while standing on Maho Beach, almost under the plane. I have a few photos where you can see the pilot in the window.
A twin-engine Delta plane probably arriving.
One of the largest planes to land is the 4-engine Air France plane from France.
Sign that appears on the edge of Maho Beach warning you that jet blast of the departing aircraft can cause severe physical harm resulting in extreme bodily harm and/or death. The end of the airport runway is on the right behind the chain-link fence. People disregard the sign and stand directly behind the jet blast. Some do get injured!
This was taken from the SSB&G and shows the Driftwood Inn in the background. The sand is blowing and knocking people down because of jet engine blast from a plane that has just taken off on the runway to the right, out of sight.
You can see the SSB&G in the background at the other end of Maho Beach. This photo was taken from the Driftwood Inn.
Taken from the Driftwood Inn as a plane approaches the island.
Taken from the Driftwood Inn as the plane is about to land. You can just see the edge ofMaho Beach. Check out the shadow of the plane on the still waters below it.
Taken from the Driftwood Inn as a plane had just taken off on the left from the head of the runway.
