Out of interest, from real world approach plates I've seen TNCM doesn't have an ILS, does anybody know why not?

Is it because of the proximity to the beach that you couldn't fit an ILS array in or do they just not feel the need for one?
Seems like quite a busy airport to not have one.

Cool shots, Dave.......I don't know why the real world airport doesn't have an ILS, but it would be easy to add one in FSX using ADE9 or something similiar :)

I'm happy without one it makes the approach more hands on, I've just not heard of many international airports that don't have them.
