Declivitous Descent

Runway 10/28 at Aeroport de Saint-Barthelemy Remy de Haenen (SBH / TFFJ) in Saint-Jean, Saint-Barthelemy is only 2,130 feet / 650 metres long.

 

The steep approach to runway 10 is made over a roundabout that is situated between two hills. That gap is named Col de la Tourmente, or Tormented Pass.

 

This image was taken during an approach aboard PJ-WCC, a trusty de Havilland Canada DHC-6-300 Twin Otter operated by Windward Islands Airways International NV of Simpson Bay, Sint Maarten.
