Boeing 747-400 (PH-BFL)

What a very cool picture! Thanks for posting that one. ;)

this would make a great painting!!!

where？

1000 starz if I could. a picture is worth a thousand words but I'm speechless !

Saint Juliana airport in St. Maarten. The capture of the airplane is awesome in itself, but the people too is priceless !

St Maarten incredible landings.Nice shot.

That's one glide slope you better hit every time.

Best TNCM composition I've seen yet. Love the different reactions of the people in the photo. Bravo.

That photo should get a 5.0 hands down.

On second thought, I'd pick a better place to play on the beach.

Love the girl in the pink top (on the right) taking a pic after the -47s already by her!

This one is great.

I think the girl in the pic is taking a selfie?

Wow.....even if there was no plane in the pic....incredible shot.


kfk

I've seen many shots of people on that stretch of beach welcoming a landing aircraft, but that is the best shot I've seen yet of the St. Maarten Welcoming Team.
I've got to make this one of my desktop wallpapers.
Wonderful composition. Superb indeed!

Cooll pic.

I want to live on that beach

superbe photo

Ditto other comments about the people---priceless! You should enter it in general photo contests because of them.

that is unbelievably low!

awesome picture....hands down

that girl in the corner tho

Wow! What a sight! Scary and exciting all at the same time..Amazing..

PERFECT

Beautiful!!

absolut great picture :-)

is beatiful ,the best pilots landing there

Very cool. Does anyone else see that the expressions on the people look very similar to a Norman Rockwell painting?

What about that wimpy guy in the middle with knees pressed together

WOW!

wow

Però......!

it,s the arrival of Kl 785 from amsterdam.
this spectacle you can enjoy 3 times a week on tuesday,thursday and sunday about 10.30 AM.local.(in european wintertime +1)
2 hours later it goes to curacao so then you have at this place a gygantic jet blast with heavy sandstorm on the Maho beach.
Awesome for plane spotters and you don,t need a raincoat!!.

I landed here in August of 2005 in my C172, N9690H. Didn't get this reaction I'm sure. No photos either!

so cool

I hate to have to explain the girl on the right in the pink top taking the a photo, but one second earlier the plane was in front of her, she took her picture then and is looking at it now

The girl in the white bikini on her knees with her back to the camera. Is there a shot somewhere where she is standing and facing the camera? NICE! Oh and cool plane...

Great experience ! Very cool photo.

Look at all the people ducking!

This has to be the best beach EVER :)

waaa!!!

Nice Martial.

a marvelous shot

a marvelous shot

A fantastic shot!

Been their, done that.

Been there, saw that and its something that every one should see and experience in their lifetime!

a wonderful shot

I assume no hats or beach stuff got sucked into the engines. Wow what a picture.

Wow! What a picture. I assume no hats got sucked into the engines.

Unreal, also have see this video and, especially, see at 1:00 min, the slow motion part. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jW9wk_g9QY

Awesome, but never again, since KLM stopped using 747's.

WHAT?!

this beautiful blue bird is not coming to st. Martin any more, and within a while nowhere in the world also!.
KLM let them scrap at the airport in Teruel (spain).(see google earth).
Wonder what the scrap costs are.
Because i have a big piece of ground in the Gambia and I can use it there for making appartments
in it, so the structure stays alive!!.

Awesome! I guess those beach people are shocked...or surprised. Like the one laying on the ground! >_<

Time to mastrebate....

If there were somehow to have been a brand logo in this photo it probably could have made some money! The poses of the people almost look staged!

Almost feels like will be able to touch the airplane. Don't forget takeoffs were fun also.

Just imagine standing right under that plane!
