    SXM 1/3 + 1/4 (Videos Added)

    Last year I was fortunate enough to barter a photo with Liat for two round trip tickets. Since I would be visiting family in Puerto Rico over the winter break, I used the tickets to travel over to St. Maarten for my birthday. Here are the results of the awesome two days spent in spotter paradise!

    I had a HARD time spotting some of the planes in those shots. Crop the bottom more. :borat:

Sadly didnt have a camera for that abck then nor could I really get any shots. But I am planning on visiting again so hopefully i'll get something next go around.

    Re: SXM 1/3 + 1/4

    Thanks, guys. I was very happy to have the opportunity to shoot some 27 departures, although it would have been nice if the Corsair and KLM had taken off on 27 as well! I took a few videos with the D90 that I'll eventually get around to posting, stay tuned for those.

    Re: SXM 1/3 + 1/4

    Nice pics! I'm thinking of heading down there to spot sometime this year. Are there best times of year to go for interesting/high traffic, like spring break/winter break, or better times of the year for weather? I'm thinking either mid-February to early March or around Christmas/New Years.

    Glad I've never been to SXM, and probably never should

    I'd just be drooling there like an idiot. My reaction time would be so slow by the time I look up the plane already touched down and parked at the terminal.
