That Shot....

[MIKE JG]

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

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")

Nice  ;D

I wish I had FS9...
You see a lot of photos like that at Airliners.net

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
