It still baffles me how a machine of this size can fly. Respect to all the great minds putting this together.
-
I'm a retired flight attendant. I flew there many times. The pilots saw this as a perk of the job. Plus...you have to take off hard and fast. Mountain in front of you.
-
This doesn't get old. Beautiful plane! challenging airport, and crazy people having fun!! What a combo
-
Those KLM 747s are the most beautiful planes in the world. Seeing them land and taking off on this Island is just frikkin awesome!!!
-
What has fascinated me is that after all those countless takeoffs that happened there, there's still sand on that beach.
-
I bet those pilots never wanted rear view mirrors so badly.

This video randomly came across my feed, probably because we recently celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary in Saint Maarten. In looking at the date that this video was taken, this was when my husband and I were in Saint Marteen for our honeymoon. Low and behold we are on that beach and in this video. I am laughing and reminiscing on how I would never do that again, but rather watch from a far. (Iβm in the pink bottoms and my husband is holding up a camera) π€£ this made my day!
-
Nothing better than going to a tropical island and sit on a crowded beach with the sound and smell of jet engines. Crossing that off the list
-
If it can take that massive thing into the air at 500+ mph, what could it do to your body? LETS STAND RIGHT BEHIND IT AND FIND OUT!!!
-
Co- Pilot: "Sir, look at all the beach bums that decided to ignore the warning signs during jet departure..." Captain: "Oh yea??... Watch This!!!" πππ
-
Nothing beats the elegance of B747 .
-
Love the joy of those two dudes who managed to hang on to the fence!
-
its just so satisfying seeing how immensly powerful these jet engines are
-
If I were a hungry shark, that's the part of shore I will hang out at.
-
KLM the first time I ever flew first class. They picked me randomly and asked if wanted an upgrade!!! Salute!!!

ππ years after my grandmother passed away,she always told us this story and we laughed together,and now watching this video somehow made me SO happy for Her to see the experience she had in the Caribbean. my grandmother is a blessed Soul,and from this episode she just laughed,how she just flew towards the sea π and at the time I was an teenager,I just traveling in her stories πβ€οΈβΎοΈπππ½βΎοΈπ΅πΌβοΈβ€οΈπ¦π¦π¦π¦π¦ππ½

Apart from everything else, KLM's striking livery just has to be one of the most successful in aviation history.
-
I guess they were so amazed by the plane that they got totally blown away!
-
The greatest plane ever built. Flew at least 7 times on a B-747 from 1976 to 1985. Once in 1st class.
-
loved those 747s. should still be in service and still manufactured. proven design and build.
