Thanks for posting!! I just saw this and went out there. Wow, I saw it take off and took some pictures, but missed the best part!! After it took off, it came back around and either did a touch and go or a low level flight over the runway! Man, I wish I had seen that!! I just heard a large noise and looked out and saw it out over Pelican..

Pictures from today. This was cool!






He had to wait to take off, for this little pipsqueak to land!!!

Saw it do practice approach and later an almost touch and go -came in low then took off sort of a Navy touch and go or just a thank you fly by

Thanks for posting those pics Carol. It was awesome to watch.

I wish I saw that!

Ditto......great shots. Thanks.

Cool pics !

Here's the address to see it take off and do the low altitude fly by. https://www.mahobeachcam Click on the "Show Flightrader 24 Map and Twitter Feed" Copy and paste the address to your browser.

Looks like C-17 from joint base Charleston, SC on a training mission

OK, anyone got a better link there, as I couldn't find the video.

Thanks for the link

Sweet.

Thanks for the link ...and great pics Carol

Thank you for the pictures and the link. That was great.

Cool!! Thanks. I wish we had seen the flyover part. Didn't know they were going to do that!

That was really cool

Pretty cool. As a USAF Vet I miss seeing the planes. C-17 looks big but still the little brother to the C-5!

Our youngest Brother son flies a KC 135 .

We saw this big fellow fly in as we hit the roundabout from the causeway.

Cheers, RickG

I saw the plane taxiing at around 12:15PM. No take off yet.

Sorry, it's back??? That was Sunday.

Edit, can't tell if it's the same plane or not. This time, will watch to see if it comes back around!

She just took off and flew right over our boat. She's a big girl!

Guess they didn't do a fly-over this time around. Cool to see in person, for sure!

Looks like the weather isn't optimal today.

I have never in my 39 years going to St. Maarten watched a US Airforce plane land in SXM. I did see a Russian cargo plane land after the hurricane in 1995 with a new generator for the island.

One of the car rental guys told us that normally when US planes land, they are bringing medical supplies. Anyone know whether that was the case this time? Interesting that they were there on Sunday and came back--either that, or it was a different plane. I couldn't tell.

Same Plane...

Same type, different plane, and different tail numbers. Today's C-17 was Mississippi Air National Guard.

OK, thanks. I couldn't see whether it said Charleston on the tail or not, to know if it was the same plane.
