St. Martin!

That's why: http://www.stupidcollege.com/items/St-Maarten-Airport

That would be so awesome to stand there... on that beach

Just WOW!

can i come?

edit: WHOA! that's ridiculous. that can't be real? is it? i would either be running away, or laying right under it watching it come in.

yep... the more the better!

^^ that has to be fake, even at landing speeds a 747 pulls so much wind behind it it would knock you over or hell throw u into the parking lot.
but looks like a cool place to visit.
i wanna go to germany for vacation.

 

[TopSecret]

its not fake, watch the video... there are probably more on the internet... i'll have a look.

its real and yes, the wind blows a lot of people into the water!

EDIT: more videos!

i was thinking the same thing, D34D.

that would be a fun ride though!

 

[SupraMario]

LOL
wheres MDC, we could get him and his idea of kite surfing to go here and catch a gust of a 747 doing 200mph and see how far he flys. LOL

Seems like that stretch of beach would always be a little loud. Sure be fun for a few minutes, though!

TS: You'd either need to put on a pileOweight or have a burly guy to stop you blowing away!

LOL... when I saw it on tv... well, there is a fence somewhere, hahaha.

It would be a big pile of smoking wreckage if it had..... most beaches slope down to the water so to touch it he'd be flying it the upslope.

Yeh that is awesome. I love planes and i wanna be a pilot. :icon_bigg Theyre so awesome.

Yeh at the Dayton/Vectron Airshow, last time i went, the commercial runways were still open and a 737 (early with long engines) flew right over the road that everyone was walking across from the parking lot. Id say it was <200ft above us and that thing was defening (spelling?). It nearly knocked over some older people and little kids.

Cant imagine bein' under a 747 when its that low.

 

[SupraMario]

^^ thats one reason i said that if it was that low the wind velocity on the jet would be so emence that it would throw people onto the runway.
I love goign to air shows. my dad was a electrical mechanic in the Airforce, he worked on B52s and fell in love with them, so someday im going to buy him one, (ill find out how too)

Mario: Maybe buy him one of these!

A little safer and cheaper than the real thing
