Rare mitsugirly Posted May 16, 2011 #52 Share Posted May 16, 2011 That plane must not be landing. It is way too high in the air and over toward the side from what it looks like. All the planes I've seen land were way down low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karysa Posted May 16, 2011 #54 Share Posted May 16, 2011 That plane must not be landing. It is way too high in the air and over toward the side from what it looks like. All the planes I've seen land were way down low. The landing gear is down and the shadow is right over the runway. It does look high to me as well though. Perhaps it is due to the angle from which it was shot from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mitsugirly Posted May 16, 2011 #55 Share Posted May 16, 2011 But the shadow could be coming from the direction of the sun (which could be behind the person taking the picture) and reflecting that way. That is one of the bigger planes and I can't see it landing when it looks that high up in the air still. The bigger the planes, the lower they were flying when I was there (and from what I've seen in pictures) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the planes I've seen land were way down low. I'm sure it is just from the angle of the picture that the plane looks higher up. I know when you are watching from the beach, it looks like you could reach up and touch them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea how they got to the roof, but I posted a photo a while ago where the photographer told me it was from a stairwell at the Maho: Jetphotos.net BTW, Sometimes the little guys are a delight as well: Airliners.net gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruise_4_me Posted May 18, 2011 #63 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Hi, A question for those who have taken a bus to Maho beach. Our ship is in port 9 AM to 6 PM. What's the latest time we should leave to insure we don't miss the ship? thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
