I took a flight from St Maarten's other airport - Grand Case, and found an even cooler airport than the more famous one.

For those hid did not serve in the Navy, you can always book a flight from Sint Maarten to Saba with a 1300 foot runway and a cliff on each end of the runway. About the closest a civilian can get to flying on and off a carrier.

Grand Case does look a very cool airport. I hadn't realised planes could reverse, or at least I hadn't seen it before. I have always seen planes being pushed back. I noticed Grand Case in your recent video with the attempted landing in St Barth. I had been to St Barth and flew into St Marteen airport, and until your videos was not aware of Grand Case airport. It's a sensational part of the world, especially at this time of year after the Hurricane season and before the December and January crowds arrive, and I hope you got some time to relax on St Barth during your trip to the region.

@andrewsebastianrothgarnant350 3 года назад

I've had such a short transfer too. I had a TOS-OSL-CPH flight with SAS, with a 45 minutes connection at OSL. Due to bad weather in TOS, we left 75 minutes late and touched down at OSL 5 minutes before the scheduled departure of my connecting flight. We arrived at the international terminal, despite being a domestic flight, so we could park right next to the aircraft flying to CPH. It litteraly took a minute (yes I ran), from the time I unfastened my seatbelt on the first aircraft to the time I fastened it on the other. It turned out that 12 pax from the TOS flight was connecting onwards onto that CPH flight, that only had 56 pax, so they decided to hold it, despite the following CPH flight being an hour later. Everyone and their bags made it, we pushed back 14 minutes late and arrived in CPH a few minutes early.

@PatrickBijvoet 2 года назад

Hey Noel,, here a Dutchman. Did you know that the French and Dutch Governments used this border in St Maarten to trick 2 of the kidnappers of Freddy Heineken, the Beermaker? In that time there was no clear extradition treaty between the countries and the Kidnappers went to Paris to avoid extradition. The French Government was not happy about it. So they exiled the 2 to St Martin. But not via Juliana Airport, but by boat. When the 2 where on the island, they let them go. But before they arrived, they let the French people know who they where and giving them the feeling they did not want them there. So the people chased them over the border, where conveniently the Dutch autorities where waiting. There is more to the story, the Heineken family was also involved, but this is the short side of the story.
