My favorite airport is the one in St. Maarten...

1) because it comes in really low right over the beach

2) because it means you are going to the Caribbean...

Er, you should check out the source article. There is a runway with a highway underneath it, and another runway that has an intersection with a normal road.

Yeah...

@badhatharry: That's crazy. I've seen other videos of that airport where the people get blown into the water from the jet wash.

WOW! I flew in to San Fran once and you come in right over the water, was very scary the first time I did that years ago. Also, Hong Kong (previous) airpiort KaiTak!! HOLY CRAP, amazing, one of the scariest the say, you come in between MANY buildings and have to drop fast on top of that! Fun Stuff!!! NOT...another cocktail ? Suuuurrrrreeeee. Bring 3 please.

@Stubborn Ass Hat!: I was OK with SFO until a few months ago when we were landing and I realized there was another 737-class jet off our port side, landing on a parallel runway at the same time. Didn't even realize they allowed that.
