This video features movements into the famous St Maarten Princess Juliana airport SXM from a location I haven’t filmed at before and haven’t seen many videos from. That being the new viewing platform at the Morgan Hotel!
Unfortunately since my last visit to SXM there has been a new fence installed down at Maho Beach meaning filming is nowhere near as good as it used to be
However with this new perspective you can see the aircraft come directly over onlookers on arrival and blowing people away on departures. Makes for a good watch!
Filmed freehand using a 4K Sony AX53 video camera.
I started filming the first evening as soon as I got to the hotel and then for a full day the next day. Moving onto other spots in a part 2 video coming next week, there will also be a best bits video showing you the best action from both videos
Filming here is tolerated and you have access to everything you need at the hotel if you are staying there, I actually moved hotel after one night as The Morgan was very pricey, 1 night was a good amount of time to trial this new spot

I'm actually REALLY glad they put up that extra barrier wall. It was getting way to dangerous for folks. Seeing all that sand whipping up into people's faces and even pushing folks into the water. Just not fun considering the sound alone can damage your ear drums. It's one thing to plane watch/spot but another altogether when it gets dangerous and this was getting that way.

You should watch my Skiathos video in Greece to see another airport where people do the same thing!

The sound isn’t that bad when you’re behind jet engines though

Beautiful catches I’ve visited this place 3 times and every time I go I always wonder why Air France always takes off towards the beach but KLM always takes off towards the mountain!

@Calsaviation 6 ай бұрын

I recon it could be due to the KLM going on a shorter flight to another island. Maybe lower thrust setting for the beach compared to the Air France

@jordani.5926 6 ай бұрын

Airlines consider single engine obstacle clearance based off of their usual loads departing SXM toward the hill. Since air france departs for a direct long range flight, its considered safer for them to depart toward the sea in the event of engine failure at a high relative TOW.

Great video! For 5 years in the early 2000s I worked on the ramp for Comair(OH) at CVG, but never understood the point of standing behind a jet engine like these folks.

Went here for our honeymoon before the big hurricane. Had a great time. Took pics of the landing. I tried this on MS flight sim also lol. Oh also the locals said don't stand at that fence, you can get really jacked up and I believe one person had died the same year we went. We went in 2017.

I checked this off my bucket list in June of 2022, and we're taking my in-laws on an Eastern Caribbean cruise next February (2025) with a stop in Sint Maarten. We've already told them we're taking them to Maho Beach! White sand, turquoise water, a beach bar just a few steps away, and a steady stream of aircraft right over your head....that's close to a perfect day for me!

Pretty perfect to me!

I'm loving your new spotting location! Probably the best location I've seen thus far from St Maarten for plane spotting! Also, is it just me or are many if these larger jets landing kind of late, farther down the runway compared to what I remember in the past videos from there? That runways is already a short one to begin with? I hope they have installed the newest runway overrun area at the end? I cam see a plane, especially at night in poor weather getting very close to over running? Thanks for the great videos my friend! 😊❤

@Calsaviation 6 ай бұрын

It’s fairly short but still long enough to land a B747 so usually plenty of room for an A330

@robertalbertson889 6 ай бұрын

@Calsaviation yes that's correct! I've seen the older KLM 747-400 landings there before and it's truly amazing they can do that there hahaha 😆 Thanks for your quick reply! Keep up the great work young man!

There is a bar along the side of the runway where you can spot from aswell I will be posting video number 2 from this area tomorrow

Why does AF take off in the reverse direction?

@Calsaviation 6 ай бұрын

Seems as though they don’t want full thrust against the beach on the long haul flights. The KLM doesn’t go far
