Notes:

It's not a 747... but this was the lowest arrival I have ever seen in St. Maarten! 636MF is no more than 10 feet above the beach at this point, and would just barely clear the fence on its way to a 'quick' landing on runway 09. This one got a few screams out of beachgoers and barflies at the Sunset Beach Bar!

Non-stop action at Haneda on a stunningly beautiful winter morning as an ANA 767 rolls out on runway 34L and a JALExpress 737 begins its taxi with the increasingly-bustling international Terminal 3 in the background

What a pleasure to get to shoot the last flying civilian IL-18 outside of North Korea, seen here parked on the company ramp in Colombo

Must've been wierd for the people in the jet to be almost at eye level with those people on the beach. Really great shot.
