https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=b6ob4pDzcvgI have to applaud klm and Air France for bringing the jumbo in all these years. While perfectly safe, there is less margin for error here than other laces. This video is a double jerker as the 747 is sun setting itself and the departure from Sxm is very sad. Hoping klm receives a groundswell of Dutch regulars begging for the 747's return.

Needed to find a Kleenex after watching that.
Future visits won't be the same without seeing that big, blue bird.

Very neat video, especially for those who didn't see it on Friday! On Friday, I had seen the pilots wave and the sign in the window. I hadn't seen the third person in the cockpit with the camera then. I'm sure they got some good shots! I would expect KLM will have some kind of a video released at some point.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RMAU2xcOyLQAnother short video compilation from both ends of runway including far end looking back with BSV off to side. I can't watch these without great sadness that 747 will not be intermingled with SXM. This sounds bad, but I love 747 and SXM and It is gutwrenching death in the family like feeling for me. I wish they would change their mind and give curaçao an airbus A330. Let's start an online petition. I think TTOL could spread the word. I'll take once a week.
