Air France 747 Landing

Here's another neat Princess Juliana Airport landing video. This time a 747.

St. Maartens Landing

This is still my favorite Google Video. The guy taking the video hits the dirt as the Air France flight passes overhead. The Princess Juliana Airport at St. Maartens in the Dutch Antilles is probably the most famous spot for plane watchers.
