Someone sent me this picture and told me that this is really how planes land in St. Maarten? Is this really a US Airways plane landing here? or is this some Photoshop joke...
Is This Picture Real?

It is REAL.
go onto airliners.net and view St. Marten pics of other planes landing in similar fashion. The widebody's are quite spectacular!

That pic is real for sure as ive been there myself. Most likely it was taken from near the Sunset Beach Bar and Grill. The actually post arrival times as its a tourist spot and people come for the airplanes. Better yet.....you can see the proximity of the runway to the beach.....when its departure time...the idiots line the beach and hang onto the fence as Air France and KLM 747's go to full thrust for takeoff.
try sunsetbeachbarandgrill.com they also have scanners in the outdoor establishment. As others stated there are plenty of pics and video on youtube.com

Yup it's real...I've actually tried the "hang onto a fence as a 747 starts it's takeoff roll" 🙂 Exhilarating and I recommend goggles as well.
wow, it makes me want to fly there just to experience it. that is way cool.
Guilty as charged. Only when I was there at the end of Feb. it was Corsair's 400 and AF's 340, but still just as fun as it was stupid. thanx to youtube

hey gf,
hoping you kept the family on the dutch side.
the french side (orient beach) is very revealing if you know what I mean 😀 😀
I personally like the french side but I only go down there with the mrs . kiddies go to grandmas
