World’s Shortest Runway Landing - Caribbean’s Extreme Flight

Join me on a flight to 2 of the most dangerous airports in the Caribbean; Saba and St Barth. Here, you are not afraid to fly, but rather to land!
Starting with some plane spotting action at St Maarten Princess Juliana Int’l Airport. Most beach vacationers gather on Maho Beach and anxiously wait for the plane to fly a few meters above their heads before landing and resisting the jet blast on takeoff.
I flew with SXM Airways pilot Jean-Marc Oliver on the Britten Norman Islander (BN-2A-26) from St Maarten to Saba. Saba Airport has the world’s shortest commercial runway at just 400m. The entire island is mountainous and looks like Jurassic Park. Watch our landing and takeoff at Saba, the plane used the entire runway for takeoff and literally “dropped” after leaving the runway!
Next is St Barth. As beautiful as the runway on the Caribbean island, the landing is extreme! Located between the mountains and the sea, it is only 640 meters long. We encountered some strong crosswinds and turbulence before “diving” into the airport. It was some of my most exciting flight as I had to stop filming to watch out for the landing.

Absolutely agree, after finishing this for me this has to be among his best ever. I get the impression they even took the plane out just for him and to show the world just what they do. Amazing all round.

I worked with SXM and Jean Marc to do his King Air 200 Initial training. He is a very talented young aviator and will go far. He is also one cool dude and my wife and I honeymooned to St. Marteen based on his and Jeff's recommendation. Great video guys!!

Love your skill Jean-Marc. Thank you again Sam for showing us this super exiting side of flying. Years ago I was in line to go to St. Barth for 2 or 3 days for a cargo inspection on a diesel oil delivery to the Island by ship. My co-workers had the opportunity but it never reached me. Oh well....

Hey Sam, this is your best video. So fraeakin’ cool!!! So is Captain Jean Pierre: look at his control imputs! This guy knows how to fly. Any possible future big jet flying will be super boring for him… I hope he manages to always keep a shoe in this amazing ops while maybe later exploring the world. (This would be my career advise for him😉)

The Saba airport was one of those bucket list items I never figured I'd get to. Then we got a customer on the island, and the project included a week on Saba to train. There's a ferry boat, but no chance of that; I was flying in for sure! Bucket list item checked! (I climbed the volcano too). You just never know what dreams will come true. One of the most spectacular experiences I've ever had! I love your videos. it was such a pleasure to see this one, and say "I've been there! I've done that!". Thanks for bringing all kinds of flying experiences to everyone.

Man I miss this! I used to fly the BN2 in the Bahamas. Young and fun times and actually gotpaid for flying! I was so happy. Spent the last 10 years of my career on the B777, literally lost my love and feeling for flying in the process. Anyway this pilot seems to be a very pleasant person. my advice would be stay close to home and don't chase the money.
