More information - The first clip in video is the last commercial 747 flight there 28/10/2016. The pop sound after landing and the smoke at 2.40 is a bursting tyre fuse.
Wow, what a stunning capture of the planes! Would it be alright if I feature this in my Daily Dose of Aviation? Of course, I'll credit your original footage with a link. Thanks so much!
Nice footage from the archives Dez, it is such a treat to see these quad heavies lumbering out of St. Maarten. Too bad they don't get interesting stuff like this down there now on a regular basis.
