Last KLM Boeing 747 roars over sunbathers on Maho Beach, St Maarten
Maho Beach might not be the Caribbean's most idyllic beach but it's not the white sand tourists turn up for. Located on St Maarten, the small beach is popular among plane spotters and self-confessed aviation geeks for its extremely close proximity to one of the world's most scary runways.
Runway 10 at Princess Juliana International Airport is so short, that pilots must make their final approach just 100 feet over the heads of sunbathers.
