SXM 03/24/2011 - Part 4 - Image Heavy
Last few shots from the day... It was definitely one of the best days on the beach... and my last full day as Friday I would only have the very early morning.
The daily AFR is a nice treat. Usually the only heavy unless KLM or Corsair come in (KLM is Sun,Tue with the 747, MD-11 on Fri, and Corsair 747 on Thur.)

that's my daughter on the lower left of the frame. She would NOT stand on the flightpath. I even bribed her with chocolate, cash, Disney... NOTHING would make her stand under the planes :cool:

he promised a good show. He held the brakes, went full throttle and held it for about 5 seconds and then let go.. .Even a small A320 can blow people in the water. The 747 and A340 are REALLY fun to watch :cool:
