  • Go straight to 5:26 for the landing.
    If you know Sint Marteen, you've probably gone already to Maho Beach where the planes flight just above your head to land at the airport behind the beach!
    You can see here the KLM Boeing 747 landing for the last time at Sint Marteen on Friday October 28, 2016. Now, you will be able to see only Airbus 330 over there.
    Hope you enjoyed this video, and if you did, like or leave a comment down bellow!!!

    The Queen of the skies never disappoints. She gave a great run through all those years to the people all over the world. She’s so iconic and be-loved. The whale was truly a plane so majestic that many will never forget her.

    So great to see so many people wanting to see the dramatic landing of a truly dynastic plane such as the Boeing 747. The sky is empty without the Queen.

    So beautiful....I remember when KLM briefly had 747-400 service to Baltimore Maryland's BWI Airport...I would watch them come and depart with total wonder and pride that they chose my city to initiate service direct to Amsterdam.

    A few years ago we stood at that spot and take it from me, this 747 was quite high compared with some other landings. It felt as if you could reach out and touch the wheels when a really low one came in! Somebody said that the fences were actually clipped by the planes now and then!!!
    Take-offs were even wilder. Some folks were hanging onto the fence and being blown horizontal by the thrust from the engines. Fantastic! (I bet there's a video of that somewhere : I must look to see that again even if it will never be quite the same as being there).

    The Sunset Beach Bar SXM has a live streaming web cam aimed at the beach right where the planes land. If you monitor their webcam and flightradar24 you can know when the planes are about to land. Really cool. Some planes come in very very low, especially the private jets and Sky High Airways Flight SHH972.

    The only time I went to St Martin was with my parents when I was about 11. We stayed at the Little Bay Beach Hotel and I loved looking through the window of the rafts at the angelfish. Our plane's engine caught fire coming from St Thomas or St Croix. I remember the flames, but my dad was a pilot for EAL so I wasn't scared and loved flying.

    Great video and thank you Maëva for capturing this historic aviation footage! Now for those interested, the 747 is not dead. The Queen lives on in 747-800F livery for air freight companies. I live in the north Atlanta suburbs and saw the last Delta -400 depart for the scrap yard a few years ago that my retired Delta captain uncle flew. All is not lost however as about three or four times a week I can hear a Cargolux -800F overhead at about 10,000 AGL departing to the north on climb thrust. You know the sound of a heavy and it never goes away. The 777 is a great aircraft which my uncle retired with, but there is no sound comparison to a four holer!

      Snapper Organs so then you go, “well I guess you’ve never landed at Tenzing-Hillary Airport in Nepal, huh?” Yeah. That’ll do it. And not to mention the plane is nearly as long as some older carrier decks, so THAT would be a great stunt for a finale. Land one on an aircraft carrier. Even if it’s (the deck) is modified lightly. That would be a sight to behold. If they could go out and find a really stable and strong headwind to sail into, the plane would have that much more air speed over the wings but less actual landspeed so it won’t require as much runway. Awesome.

    those ships barely rock compared to the ones I was on before
    probably because we got lucky and there were not any storms besides rain in the early hours when we got to our first stop (cocoa cay)
    doesn’t mean that you won’t get hit with rain or thunderstorms and things will be canceled
    not bragging
    sorry if you think I am
    just recommending the ship I think you should go on if your going by yourself
