Spectacular. Reminds me of the (now closed) airstrip on Santo Antao (Cabo Verde Islands) at Ponta do Sol. Similar length, and location by the sea on a cliff, next to high mountains. Arrived there once in a Twin Otter.
haha, it's very safe! The boat trip is very rough.... seasickness...... So we took the flight to Saba! Very special experience! And the retour price is not much more!
Oh I know it's safe, but my wifes uncle lived on Saba and was a pilot. One day his landing was long and went over the end, then he crawled back up and into a bar and never came out.
Gotta love the Twin Otter . It's a good thing this runway favors the trades too . I've been on DH-6s in some tight places like Walker's Cay in the Bahamas and the STOL performance of these and the Islanders are really needed .
I wouldn't be so sure :D even with the twin otter this one is a challenge and though I don't know much about the AN-2, I doub't its stopping abilities are quite at twotter's level, being an old taildragger and all. Could be wrong :P
WOW, awesome video! Thank you so much for sharing :) That was one heck of a windy day, is it usually really windy like that or is it just the time of season?
In a stiff enough wind that Twin Otter will land on this runway crosswise at the apron turnoff and still need to taxi to get to its parking spot! Ha, what a plane.
por favor alos del you tube no dejen subir videos que no indiquen donde son hora fecha los que filmaron si saben pero millones que vemos estos videos tan bonitos no¡¡ sabemos donde lugar? saludos desde apodaca nl mex.
I flew DHC-6 and it's not big deal if you know short RWY about AN-2 actually can land shorter and take-off shorter then DHC-6 AN-2 known as " kukurusnik" in Russian
In case of a crash, I suppose. All airports have fire crews, Saba's was just smaller. They had a proper fire department elsewhere on the island as well.
Mostly rocks but a couple small places to swim, coves and off the main pier. One beach that comes in and out with the seasons. People would say, "The beach is back." It's a beautiful place with nice people who live there.
This Airport shall be closed due to its small runway. At the end of the runway, some planes are stalling because of the lack of groundspeed. Lol thats really dangerous.
What kind of stupid question is that? The runway is less than 2000ft. Of course not. And even if it could with an insane 100kt headwind it could never takeoff again.
Landing: didn't keep runway center line. BackTaxing: didn't keep center line. TakeOff: didn't keep center line. Just wondering why. But great job after all. That a short runway
+hermenegildo bugalho Landing & T.O. were using the upwind side of runway judging from the correction needed at liftoff. Plus the dude with the camera has to be on a pretty good hill which must be mighty close to right side of runway. Didn't taxi far enough to worry about centerline.
Take off and landing is possible on this runaway, because of the strong headwind! Like in this video: ruclips.net/video/SmzhwQ_YRPU/видео.html . Runaway is in open sea, so there is all the time strong winds, this is why probably authorities permit to use this runaway :)

Holy shit these Flight Simulator 2020 graphics are amazing
This is some exceptional audio quality
Imagine doing that takeoff in 80 feet less with a B-25 in 1942; 16 times no less... Respect!
The pilot is so pretentious. He only uses half the runway. How cool. "I only need 200 meters."
Not for take off, he didn't.

Spectacular. Reminds me of the (now closed) airstrip on Santo Antao (Cabo Verde Islands) at Ponta do Sol. Similar length, and location by the sea on a cliff, next to high mountains. Arrived there once in a Twin Otter.
Thats right! It is the shortest runway in the world with a lengt of 400 meters.
Saba is one of the most fun places to visit.
haha, it's very safe! The boat trip is very rough.... seasickness...... So we took the flight to Saba! Very special experience! And the retour price is not much more!
Note to self: TAKE WIND PROTECTOR FOR AUDIO MIC!!!!!!!!!!

Can't help but love that runway! :D I like your camerawork too!
Very natural video. It's like being there 😊
Was there many years ago, scary landing and take off for sure
nice Landing and Takeoff
I'm actually from there :)
Chris Doyle's "Cruising Guide to the Leeward Islands" (13th ed) has an excellent section on this island, including the history of the airport.
Wanted to do this flight when in St Marteen, wife said hell no,,,we took the one hour boat ride.
awesome!! I love it! Twin Otter at it's best, in one of the world's shortest commercial airstrips!!! Hope I visit Saba one day:)
I was there for 6 days in March of 1973, and this brings back memories! I was the only guest in my guest house the entire time!
👏. Visite Campos dos Goytacazes RJ Brasil
thxx for this!
飛行員的 技速 真是太棒了 注意看 在他要街進跑道的時候 發動機 已經關掉了 全靠滑行進場的 技速太棒了 給妳一個讚
Me encanto el video
Yes, it is usually really windy! August is the start of the hurricane season, so there are occasional storms!
What a Boss...
Nice vacation spot. I wonder if the wind ever blows there.
i would think you would have to have enormous brass balls to land or take off from that runway
Yes thats right! This twin otter from Winair has only permission to flight to Saba.
Crazy... yet amazing!
nice land ing and takeoff
It could be he never heared of Saba before. Saba is an island of the Dutch antilles, is near the Gulf of Mexico and the West Indies.
Yes I bet you can, but will you be able to break before the end of the runway?
I wouldn't be so sure :D even with the twin otter this one is a challenge and though I don't know much about the AN-2, I doub't its stopping abilities are quite at twotter's level, being an old taildragger and all. Could be wrong :P
that's one short runway !
Did the first aircraft which land almost went to stall / the strong wind which makes it slow?
This airport is like landing on carrier
Having made this takeoff and landing a couple of times, I have to admit it still raises the pucker factor a couple of notches.
The DHC-6 is perefectly made for landings and take offs like this, but however it's pretty short
Agreed.
WOW, awesome video! Thank you so much for sharing :) That was one heck of a windy day, is it usually really windy like that or is it just the time of season?
yes it’s usually windy
WOW spectacular :)
please send the picture of twin otter or winair
I visited here in 1973 and the locals threw bags of rocks at me and called me "Sugadinini" which loosely translates to "Poop Cleaner"
Haha! Of course not! This twin otter from Winair has only permission to flight to Saba.
right! there was at that time a kind of tropical storm!
In a stiff enough wind that Twin Otter will land on this runway crosswise at the apron turnoff and still need to taxi to get to its parking spot! Ha, what a plane.
Just have a look for the runway on Helgoland/Germany. There after you´ll find 400m quite comfortable.
Woooooow so great
What about one engine out proceedure ...?
Andreas Karotsieris I'm guessing one engine out procedure here would be to turn the hell around and head back to Princess Juliana airport.
1080p HD!
A: Couple years later 4K ULTRA HD!
where is that airport??
Not entirly true. There are shorter runways, but they are used for Chesna's and things like that. This is the shortest runway for commercial flight.
What is a Saba? Is it Edible?
Queen Beatrix is a risky gal !
hahaha lol saba is one of the netherlands islands together with st maarten and more like bonaire
awesome...!
donde es esto ????
extreme landing and takeoff ever ^^
thanks!
windy much?
por favor alos del you tube no dejen subir videos que no indiquen donde son hora fecha los que filmaron si saben pero millones que vemos estos videos tan bonitos no¡¡ sabemos donde lugar? saludos desde apodaca nl mex.
Pero lo dice en el titulo donde es: Saba. Si buscas Saba en Google maps, veras q es una isla en el caribe
Real risky landing and takeoff! Good videos! Can B737 land there? I subscribed and liked!
@COOLEBABY1995 Do you live in SABA?
How do you know if there is a pilot in the room?
He will already have told you.
I think it's probably very boring... Being on one little island... :P
How many people came here after watching AirForceProud95's video?
Nice, thanx
I flew DHC-6 and it's not big deal if you know short RWY about AN-2 actually can land shorter and take-off shorter then DHC-6 AN-2 known as " kukurusnik" in Russian
You all realize this is fake right? It is a computer generated island/plane with some added camera effects/sounds.
I'm pretty sure this is a twin otter
More of a walkway than a runway
🥸
Be there on holiday!
i didn't say which antonov. the antonov AN-2 is small enough to land there, i think
its not a runway, its an Air Carrier :)
All pilots are qualified to work on Air Carriers
Maarten* :)
Does this airport have a fire brigade?
+Mark Gorney They do. I lived on the island for a year, and the way you knew the plane was close to landing is they'd start the fire engine.
+Marla Sanders Interesting. For what reason?
In case of a crash, I suppose. All airports have fire crews, Saba's was just smaller. They had a proper fire department elsewhere on the island as well.
+Marla Sanders Hi, it's pretty cool you lived there. Did you like it? Are there any beaches on this island or just rocks?
Mostly rocks but a couple small places to swim, coves and off the main pier. One beach that comes in and out with the seasons. People would say, "The beach is back." It's a beautiful place with nice people who live there.
The likelyhood of a 100 knot headwind at that place is about the same as a whale flying.
bad audio
But you still have a lot of runway on the water.
Must be fun living in Juancho Yrasquin
The pilot was scared while landing and passengers were like:🙄🙄🙄🙄
The others are RWY 03/21 = 371m, RWY 06/24 = 258m.
Cool...
No, I was on holiday last summer
He's probably referring to the Twin Otter ;D
This Airport shall be closed due to its small runway. At the end of the runway, some planes are stalling because of the lack of groundspeed. Lol thats really dangerous.
Why have such a short runway putting lives to danger
Had to mute because of the wind noise in microphone.
Helgoland has a runway of 480 meters!
Who cares?
Only Germans would go there...
Skid marks at the near the edge of runway, well before the threshold is a little unnerving.
What kind of stupid question is that? The runway is less than 2000ft. Of course not. And even if it could with an insane 100kt headwind it could never takeoff again.
Landing: didn't keep runway center line. BackTaxing: didn't keep center line. TakeOff: didn't keep center line. Just wondering why. But great job after all. That a short runway

landing sequence: according to the wind, better to have room to the rigth just in case and after landing, just f.... the center line.
Filter the wind out of your mic..annoying wind noise.
I really don't think he needed to what till the very end of the runway
the take off must by scary

Looks like a twin otter
Airport would be great on pitrin Island
Shortest runway in the world...
