Remarks: It seemed like every single person at the airport was out watching this historic arrival. Outside the airport there were hundreds of spectators, and CTV had a helicopter transmitting live coverage of the flight.
Remarks: Heading into the turning area after the backtrack ready to blast sand all over Maho before undertaking the short hop to Curacao. [1600 pixels]
Remarks: Air France 344 unloads at Stand 55, whilst the MD-11 I am on has just started taxi after pushing from Stand 57 next door. 15 days from the date of this photo I had swapped places and was deboarding from the A380. [1600 pixels]
Remarks: Leaving paradise island behind, with a nice overview of Maho and Juliana from the last row of Westjet 737 C-FIWS, en-route towards SJU then Northwards to JFK and finally to Montreal
