Notes:

Here's what it used to look like....lots of sand, no Airbus aircraft at all, and a big hefty 747 from Paris seen from under this palm tree. During the entire week, this same jet flew runs daily between SXM and CDG, and boy were those two lovebird swimmers surprised when this beast paid them a visit while they gave all the passengers a show! Pic is a film scan, sorry if it isn't super clear, but the message is still clear; SXM is awesome.

YES1 YES! YES! So glad to see this shot on JP and I hope you can add some more of your illustrious work. This is the shot that got me into the hobby. It depicts all there is to say about SXM and the stunning MAHO beach approach in particular. THANKS again for sharing! Denis
