Plane watching at sunset from the Sunset Bar & Grill on Maho Beach, Sint Maarten. When the ships are in it gets busy from the jetblast crowd. At sunset the ships pull out and it's a quieter world for sunset and plane watching. #SintMaarten #SaintMartin #MahoBeach #PlaneWatching #SXM
Leaving Montreal's runway 24L, summer 2018.
This one rotated way past the other ones, turns out it was an almost 15 knot tailwind. They switched the departure runway after this one.

The sign says "Danger - engine blow effect (Jet Blast)". Meh... a jetblast from 4 hair dryers don't harm! Hahaha!
Anyway, always cool to photograph a big bird from up close. The Joon A340 service to Fortaleza was replaced by the Air France B777-200ER not long after.

Maho Beach is a beach on the Dutch side of the Caribbean island of Saint Martin, in the territory of Sint Maarten. It is adjacent to the Princess Juliana International Airport, and is a popular site for tourists and planewatchers, who visit the beach to watch aircraft on final approach landing at the airport, passing only a short distance above their heads.
Maho Beach is unusually close to the threshold of a runway, and is directly under the flight path, resulting in aircraft on their final approach flying over the beach at altitudes of less than 100 feet (30 m) feet above ground level. Because of this, the location is popular with plane spotters. Watching airliners pass over the beach is such a popular activity that daily arrivals and departures airline timetables are displayed on a board in most bars and restaurants on the beach, and the Sunset Bar and Grill formerly had a speaker on its outside deck that broadcast radio transmissions between pilots and the airport's control tower.
There is a danger of people standing on the beach being blown into the water because of the jet blast from aircraft taking off from runway 10. The local government warns that closely approaching and departing aircraft can "result in serious injury and/or death". An additional fence has been added recently behind runway 10, in order to prevent people from hanging onto the main fence surrounding the runway to experience being blasted by the jet flow.
The beach itself is white sand and has little to no vegetation because of jet blast erosion.The Caravanserai Resort, the Sunset Bar and other restaurants/night clubs such as Bamboo Bernies and Bliss are located nearby. The beach is popular with windsurfers and skim boarders because of occasional large waves.
Mid-morning and a cloudy stormy sky, a American Airlines Boeing 777 Wide makes a turn onto the active to depart, heading off to fly the skies after a maintenance cycle in Washington.

The Vampire & Venom are both notorious types for their angled exhausts damaging aerodrome surfaces. Here the Vampire T11 is seen taking off at full power, and large chunks of asphalt are sent flying into the air.
