I'm glad when I was in Sint Marteen (well Saint-Martin as I stayed in Grand Case) last year it was just after Hurricane Maria. Things where still a wee bit choppy.
Heck I was in New Orleans for Tropical Storm Lee and had delays with Boston due to Irene. Not a great time to visit in heinsite.
Is it actually that dangerous? or does it just seem that much more dangerous because the public can get so close to the end of the runway?
What I mean is, if you could stop and film landings so close to the runway at SYD, would it seem just as dangerous?, or rather..
Do pilots need to take an extra-ordinary steep approach into St Maarten? more so than they would normally at any other airport?
