This blog is geared toward helping fellow enthusiasts identify spotting areas at airports. I've included shots I've taken from those spots to give you an idea of what kind of photos can be expected from each vantage point.

Princess Juliana - SXM/TNCM

N17133 - Continental Airlines B757-224
This is one of those places people buy thousand dollar airfares to visit only to experience the rush of airplanes approaching over their heads at less than 100 feet.  Some (not me) even enjoy "riding the fence" as the heavies push up the power for takeoff.  The beach generally has more enthusiasts than beachgoers which proves this is a must visit spot for any enthusiast.  While there are many places to take snaps around the field, the most popular is the beach.  The above photo is an example of a shot you can get from the fenceline from midafternoon on as the aircraft taxi onto runway 10 for departure. The reason I'm not showing a landing shot is simply for the fact that all you have to do is type in Saint Maarten any any search engine and you'll see thousands of pictures.
