No goofball turning the camera around so they can make a dumb expression. No clickbait thumbnails. It's nice. I wish more of youtube could be this way.
Metallic testicles required. Love the Otters performance, amazing to me. Flew in an Islander twice, Nandi, Fiji to Kandavu,and return, very windy, short strip, great pilots. Great footage, thanks for posting.
This video is awesome. I love videos of this airport. You did an outstanding job with the different angles and closeups. I saw angles that I've never seen before in other videos of this airport. I truly enjoyed this video. Congratulations man , on a job well done.
Fantastic captures! May I feature the PC-12 go around in one of my next episodes? Of course with a link back to your original video. All the best to you and happy 2024! 🎉
Stunning captures, great job! Would you be alright with me featuring some of them in my series Weekly Dose of Aviation? Of course you will be credited both in the video and in the description. Thanks!
We often anchored just below the approach at Barts. Kinda fun watching them just miss the foliage. About twice a year they hit something. About once every five years there’s a crash and the rich folk are stuck for awhile until they clean up the mess.
Very nice! I guess pilots will feel some relief the day this runway is extended, allowing them to reduce their rate of descent. On the other hand, some pilots (and passengers) must like the thrill of landing as is.
Looking at this Video tells me when you're young you take all type of risks. Can't believe I made those approaches and landed numerous times in the 1970's. Good luck to Pilots going into St. Barths, Saba, and Statia.
I work at Westchester County Airport, up in New York (USA), and Tradewind is one of our base airlines, it is ALWAYS flying in and out. It's amazing to see them so active down there during the winter, because normally they are that busy during the summer up here.
Great capture! May I feature a part of this great video in one of my Daily Dose of Aviation? Of course with a link back to your original video and full credit. All the best to you!
great video man. most of the st barths videos i find are way old. this has great quality. what's the Vref of a PC-12? it appears to be significantly higher than all the others, so they tend to come in rather hot and high, too. the twin otters, however, really need to be forced down into the ground. they just wanna fly.
I tell that to people who are nervous about flying. There are two people up front who are highly trained and they want to go home at the end of the day too.
I remember this place I couldn't believe how short it was an what was in the front of us we had an emergency landing almost didn't make it me an the kids
Excellent video, Bro! Can i use it as part of my video for my channel? You will be credited in the video. and you get a backlink to your original video in my description. thanks
Tricky is as tricky does 😅 Two videos on my channel hypothesize the chance MH370 successfully ditched in the southern Indian Ocean. Let me know what you think 👍
The Twin Otters in particular seem to take a particularly hair-raising dive-bombing approach 🛬 But I think that DHL Caravan 7:50 took the prize. His wheels must have been less than a metre off the grass there
What amazing is that with so many approaches lining up, pilots still managed to have time turning around and clear the only runway. Awesome skills. Awesome video captures.
Having all of these , tho only 45 min in a PC12, the Twotter is my favorite…learned to fly Otters and 208’s in Alaska and loved them both….flew BN2 out of San Juan to the Islands til the DC-3 from St Thomas called my name. But this approach and runway are what an Otter was designed to handle… just need to try it with a 30knt x-wind and nil braking on glare ice….what fun!!
Great video man !!! I've been to St.Barths a few times while I worked on cruiseships. Sadly never experienced landing here in a plane !! Keep up the great work!! Greets from Norway
