Extremely Low Flying Aircraft Over Beach

Description: The sign on this beach reads: Warning Low Flying and Departing Aircraft Blast Can Cause Physical Injury! Low Flying Over Beach. The runway begins literally 10 feet from the sands of Maho Beach, and as the planes approach for landing, it looks as if beachgoers could literally jump up and grab the landing gear. The best time for plane watching is Thursday afternoon and all day Saturday. This is when the 747s and Airbuses from Europe arrive and depart. There is nothing quite like the feeling of lying on the sand or floating on your back and having a 747 whiz 50 feet over your head! You can actually hear the air whistling with turbulence 5 minutes after the plane has landed! Takeoff is even more dynamic. The massive planes taxi to the end of the runway, only 50 feet from the short fence at the beach. The runway is very short, so the planes must crank their engines to maximum for about 30 seconds before they release their brakes and roar down the runway.This creates a jet blast which roars back toward the beach at over 150 miles per hour. Ever experienced 150 mile per hour winds? You will if you're standing at the fence or on the beach! It creates a big wave in the water which sends a wake a good half mile out into the sea. Many people think it will be fun to stand on the beach and experience this jet blast, without thinking that with 150 mile per hour wind comes 150 mile per hour SAND. And thus, it is quite amusing to watch the spectators line up for a 747 departure. Seconds later they all being shrieking in pain and alarm, and either dive to the ground or run for the water as the sand blasts into their skin. Share with friends

mb1329 ::: Favorites shouldn't have zoomed in so much on the planes, you can't tell just how low they're flying 'cuz you can't see the ground in the shots. 07-07-29 01:38:13 _____________________________________________________
