Been a while since I put something out... :)

So here's a guide, on how to spend a day in the Caribbean...

Your stay begins on the short final, at Princess Juliana International Airport. The short runway (7707 ft / 2349 m) requires airliner pilots to fly a very low approach, taking them just over Maho Beach at very low altitude, making this approach famous among spotters and enthusiasts:

In order for you to be able to reach whatever part of the island you may wish, rentable cars are available for your disposal:

Should you wish to fly around this beautiful place, we have a beautiful line of rentable planes as well, like this Siai-Marchetti SF.260:

You can fly out from Princess Juliana, and take in the beautiful sights of the area, from the air:

You may then choose to fly out to Saba island. Saba (pronounced 'Say-ba') is the smallest island of the Netherlands Antilles. Juancho E. Yrausquin, the airport of the island, is famous for its very short runway (1300 ft / 400 m), one of the shortest commercial runways in the world:

You can then spend the evening at Maho Beach, for a marvelous sunset, or to see the last flights fly into Princess Juliana:

The possibilites are literally endless!

We wish for you to have a pleasant stay here.

pronounced 'Say-ba'


Sweet shots Anxious! As Saba is part of the Dutch kingdom it actually is pronounced 'Saah-baah' ...


... various GA at Grand Case ... maybe I should do it anyway

Yeah ... Grand Case is awesome. And you should definitely do a shot from the eastern approach :o

*CoughAnxyouscough* :D

I wouldn't know about the pronounciation, I just wrote what Wikipedia says :-? :D

And on the Eastern Approach, that would be the RW30 approach right? What kinda shot did you have in mind? :)

Currently, I'm thinking helis & ultralights and stuff... I got a sweet idea for an Ultralight shot, let's hope it works out...
