Photographer's Note
Most people have seen pictures of airliners landing over Maho beach of Sint Maarten.
Takeoffs over the beach are less usual. And when they do the planes usually gain more altitude before this spot. So this Boeing 737-700 of Delta Air Lines was quite a surprise.

While I was preparing to upload my Red-Devils picture, I realized you had posted an airplane landing picture, Kari. Did not mean to compete, just came out to be neighbors today.
Must say, I would spend all day in this beach... Such a close range landing, above tourists heads, a really intriguing location for plane-spotting. We do not see its registration, obviously it is a Delta B737 and amazingly, most people seem to be indifferent to the craft.
Excellent spotted, well applied.
Have a nice weekend,
Ike

Hello Kari,
It's a nicely timed photo with perfect sharpness. I hope your ears were not damaged. It looks almost dangerous and not very pleasant, but it's certainly a fascinating view.
Regards,
Gert

Hi Kari
That is quite the surprise but what a brilliant photo moment and god on your reactions to compose, focus and get this cool picture! I love that the sign on the right is included too, I can safely say I have never encountered that warning in real life haha!

Hello Kari,
And it is said that people love a beach holiday to relax ... :)
But even worse than for the beachgoers it must be for the people who live or stay for a holiday in the apartments on the background.
Anyway a very spectacular picture and if I would ever get to St Maarten, I'd love to take a similar one.
Best regards, Paul

hello Kari, I would prefer to be a bit farther from this plane. It goes really low. It seems that only one photographer is interested. maybe that are already used to such view. Fantastic view, excellent composition, good sharpness. When the plane goes already low before landing, above cars and on the roads or houses and I do not see the airport, I am a bit nervous.

Great Shot. As a beach goer I would carry an extra pair of pants.

Hi dear Kari
Wow so dynamic and powerful image at all.
I am a little surprised that the airport is located too near with the beach, a little dangerous! Boeing, camera-man and people enjoying sun-burn are so well met in one shot.
All the best and have a beautiful Sunday! Takero

Hello Kari,
This is absolutely a surprise the airplane so low above the beach.
But a beautiful picture with the people on the beach and the plane so close.
Pleasant panorama view about the area
Sharpness and clarity are beautiful.
Very well done, TFS.

Hello Kari,
It's always fascinating to see planes over this beach. There is very little room for error when landing or taking off there! I think it would be both exciting and a bit nerve-wracking to be so close to these giant jets while they are still in the air. Great job capturing this unique moment.

Hello Kari,
This beach is quite famous as one of the few around the world that is so close to departing and arriving aircraft. Good sharpness and timing. Tfs!

Hi Kari,
The aircraft is well placed on the frame. The point of view is showing the details of the Boeing 737-700 of Delta Airlines taking off. The good luminosity is enhancing the beauty of the colors. Have a nice day.
