Has anyone here seen the video footage of a 747 landing at St. Martin in the Netherlands Antilles? WOW!!! Man, I bet those passengers had to have their seats surgically removed after THAT landing. I imagine it HAD to have been an emergency landing situation because St. Martin's Princess Juliana Airport is nowhere NEAR big enough to accommodate 747's and spans beach -to- beach. He just barely makes the runway on his approach. It is a wild video! You can see it at military.com ... it is in the "Top Shocks" section.

747s regularly fly into SXM. The runway is easily more than enough for a 747 as it is over 7000 feet long, however, long range flights are payload restircted and as far as I know, need to refuel half way home.
