Boeing 747 Landing At St. Maarten

[BruteForce]

A Boeing 747 landing at the Princess Juliana airport in the island of St. Maarten - famous for its short landing strip, which is barely enough for heavy jets. Because of this, the planes approach the island flying very low...

That is just incredible!! Those pilots must have some really BIG balls!!

Dammmmm....I guess that is why they get paid the big bucks.:eek:

If you think the pilots have balls, what about the guy in the red car crossing in front.......I think I'd have waited.

That's crazy!!!

I saw some still photos of that about 6 months ago. The video is much more impressive. Still don't know how he clear that fence. ;) It is even more incredible considering that the pilot is sitting about 5 stories up and trying to judge the clearance and hit the runway at the same time. Piece of cake :cake:

Holy ***** !!
That's worse than sitting on the Grand Central parkway in traffic at Laguardia airport and it looks like the planes wheels will hit my roof. The first time I think I shat myself.
