Sheesh, and they didn't even mention St. Paul in the Pribilofs (Bering
Sea). When I flew in there in the 80s, the stewardess made an
announcement describing the landing for the newbies so they wouldn't
think there'd been an accident. I have attached a Google Earth .kmz
file for those that are interested...

NO, use John Mee3 at comcast dot net (remove the spaces and do the
obvious with the "dot" and the "at"

I don't know why they included Sint Maarten and Saba.
Princess Juliana has a runway plenty long enough even for the heavies to
land on. It's just that they can't take off with fuel tanks full.
It only looks slightly scary for the people on Maho beach, but they go there
for the kicks anyway.

Only Twin Otters can land on Saba (Winair does that) and they have at least
25 m to spare on landing and on take off. No problem there, especially since
the pilots don't have to worry about obstacles during approach and take off.
I wonder why they sell T-shirts saying "I survived the Saba landing". I did.
