AUC, the island, the people, the culture - truly a great experience.

Plane landing at SXM as viewed from Sunset Beach Bar.

Yeah, that clip's being posted all over the net these days. There's an even better one with a big guy walking along the beach and the plane throttles up and he's thrown clear into the sea.

thats a truly great site to see in person. i loved to sit at sunset for hours and watch the planes while drinking coronas.

I know some people make a sport of holding onto the fence. :shock:

I had a friend (current student) who did that on a whim, hanging onto the fence. He's lucky he had his wraparound sunglasses on, tho..... when the flying rock smashed his shades, it saved his eye. :shock:

Don't do it, folks!

That sounds too dangerous for my liking!

i've actually done this and it wasn't that bad but...it wasn't the klm plane either.

Maybe they'll start landing the new Airbus soon? :-)

I can imagine people having their limbs ripped off trying to hold on to the fence.
