Default B-747 landing at Sint Maarten

The first picture is from Airliners.Net but I want to share it with the NG.

KLM has a daily flight from Amsterdam Schiphol to Sint Maarten so you would
think the pilots know the landing.

This one (PH-BFG) came in a bit low (my guess is about 10 m) and was lucky
to miss the fence.
Look at the man in the white shirt ducking. The guy in the car was lucky.
I have stood at the same location on many occasions to tak pictures and
never felt uncomfortable.

Just behind the fin you can see the terrace of the Sunset Beach Bar where
you have a fantastic view of all the aircraft landing and taking off.

The second picture is taken from the terrace and shows another 747 (PH-BFA)
making a better approach.

Regards,
Herman
