Here's a image that I captured from a recent cruise. I have always wanted to go to this beach to capture these planes coming is at such a close distance.

I have read about the place. It must be quite an experience!

This reminds me of the old airport in Hong Kong.

What a great shot! Luv it! Love the moment, the color, the interaction with all the people with their iphones raised up to get a photo. You have captured an image of our time.

Excellent capture !

I like that the kid in the foreground doesn't seem to care. He adds an interesting element to the image. It makes me wonder what his attention is focused on.

Thanks you all for the kind comments. The kid on the foreground is playing on the sand and making a sand castle out of it. That KLM was by far the biggest plane that landed but there were a few others that had already landed so he was over it.

Wow, that would keep you awake, I wonder how many flights a day come in there?

Working on the suntan and sand blasting.

Great capture. While everyone is trying to take a photo of the plane, you've captured the whole scene brilliantly.

Oh, that's my dream! I've been on St.Marteen twice, but have not had a chance to go there.

Great shot! A real classic.

I appreciate all the feedback! This was something that I have been wanting to capture for a while and had a blast doing so. No pun intended
