Remarks: This is hands down my favourite shot from my entire trip to SXM/STT and SBH. After a fantastic lunch at a lovely restaurant on the beach in SBH i then had the pleasure of watching this Cessna 208 fly around the bay doing touch and go's at the airport. Here she is coming round in a lovely bank over the bay, the light hit it perfectly and she looks great in the sun. The lovely aqua colours of the water below reflect on the underside and you can see the pilots checking out the landing strip. This for me is a perfect setting, perfect conditions and it resulted in a great photo! (1dmkii/100-400LIS)
Remarks: A private Cessna Caravan glides down onto runway 10 after throwing the nose down to dive down the side of the hill here at SBH. It's great to watch from this angle when they just pull up before touchdown. Good stuff! (1dmkii/100-400LIS)
Remarks: Both pilots looking straight down the lens as they make a sharp right hand turn on base leg to line up with Rwy 28 and make a tailwind landing.
Remarks: Performing a rare landing on Rwy 28. Something you don't see here too often in St. Barths due to the (tail)winds. It's believed that this was part of the pilot training that took place here on this day.
Remarks: How many screeners does it take to take a picture of a caravan nose-diving over the top of a hill? Well, there's 3 in front of the camera, one taking the photo and another behind me, so 5 in total!
Remarks: This aircraft spent an hour doing touch and goes on the steep 10 approach into St Bart's . Seen here doing a very tricky tail wind approach to runway 29. This is the second attempt, the first being aborted and the aircraft did a go around.
