That Shot....

Well this may be one of the most photographed places for landing aircraft in the world.  It's the beach just off the runway in St. Maarten - Princess Juliana (SXM / TNCM).  I thought I'd give it a try in FS9.  Came out pretty good.

Note the little sign on the far right about low flying aircraft.  Nice touch...

Nice shot ;D

coming in a bit low dont you think ;)  Might clip the fence.  At least the debre from my little accident earlier was cleaned up ::)  (see "bad luck in St Maarten")

Can't find your shot, some help maybe.   Yea that -800 would have taken out the tourists, the fence and part of the beach.  ;D
