Looking for a certain picture

[WeatherGeek]

I'm looking for a picture I saw on the boards here a while back of a plane flying right over the beach as it was either taking off or landing. I believe it was in St. Thomas maybe? Anyway the plane looked like it was barely 20 feet off the ground. Can anyone help? Y'all know how lame the search feature is

 

Thanks!

Is this the one? It is of a plane from St. Maarten-Princess Juliana Int'l Airport (Netherlands Antilles) over Maho Beach.

Wow, Salty

 

That can't be a "real" pic can it ??

 

 

Imagine something like this in the states. Talk about an instantly fired pilot ! !

Haven't been to Maho Beach but know people who have -- they all claim the planes fly right over the beach. It is supposed to be an awesome feeling just experiencing it!

I'm making a collection of interesting and unique travel pictures, which is why I was looking for a picture of planes flying over this beach. That's not the exact one I was thinking of, but it's probably a picture taken on the same beach. I like this one better actually, thanks Salty Dawg!

"That can't be a "real" pic can it ??"

 

That was my first thought when I saw it too. If it was that close to the ground, the landing gear would be fully out and they are only half way out on this plane.

I am confident that it's a real picture. I trunkated the web address back to www.jetphotos.net and did a search for other pictures of Maho Beach. There were 4 pages of photos of planes landing at the airport there. I never did find the exact photo I was originally looking for, but I like the picture Salty Dawg directed me to better anyway

Looks pretty real to me... There is even a shadow on the sand down the beach. But who knows? Just about anything can be done these days with pics.

That is a real photo. Happens all the time at the airport in St. Maarten. There are tons of photos on the internet showing planes landing.

You can get just about this close at Lindberg field in San Diego. I remember waiting on line for restaurants near the airport and being able to see the faces of the people in the places as they came in to land. It was pretty amazing.

WOW gtaylor,

 

You made a believer out of me !

 

Great shots, especially the AF747 coming in !

 

And to think Parking Lot "C" at LAX had low-flying planes.

 

Thanks,

Oh I thought this was about that pic of some Destiny class Carnival ship plowing through fifty foot waves. The one that you expected to see Godzilla in.

 

Happy Cruising
