It seems as if both are real.

Scary too!
Jaime
Very scary indeed! Both for the passengers for the plane spotters. In the first one, as a passenger you would probably think you're going to crash into the sea.

Yeah that's real, it's St. Maartens (first one). My parents were there a couple of months ago. It's very low, but not quite as low as it seems. The take-offs are worse - I don't know if you've ever seen a video of the thrust a 747 has, but people stand on the beach as one is taking off, and literally get blown out to sea. They seem to enjoy it which is strange biggrin.gif

Haha, that was quite funny actually! laughing.gif Guess the reason tney may have enjoyed it could be because it helped them cool off. original.gif

This photo is quite an eye opener:

I am surprised they allow vehicles into the area as you would think a bus or lorry would be a serious safety hazard if one passed along that road.

I was just going to say! If that's real then people would be thrown into the damn sea!

I think that first one was too low though. That pilot was really trying to show off.
