I'm sure someone's already taken pics at this airport, but its become one of my favorites and I just wanted to share a few of my pics.

This is a POSKY 747 and scenery by Delblond Christian, which I highly recommend you download from SimV. It greatly enhances St. Maarten.

You could take screenshots w/ this scenery all day, but I only had a few minutes so here's what I spit out.

I'm fairly sure that spoilers come AFTER landing, even at that airport.

A lovely set of pictures, nice angles!

They'd look even better at 800x600, and as you only posted 5, they could have been about 95 kb a shot, improving the image quality nicely...

Reminded me I still don't have that, thanks too :)

I agree with Krigl, they would benefit from beeing a bit larger!

That's what great about a sim; you can fly whatever you want, wherever you want.  ;)

Hi,

I just want to correct a few things in this thread:

-JAL has no scheduled flights to St. Maarten;

-The beach directly under the approach to TNCM is not a nude beach. There are however nude beaches on the island but not this particular one, even though when you take a close look at one of the figures on the beach in the scenery, she appears to be topless.

Just thought that I would clarify those things seeing that I live about 11 miles away from SXM.

Regards,
Les
