We just just walked down to the viewing stand here at Beachside Villas and watched a HUGE Air France take off over Maho Beach. That sucker was enormous as it came out of the terminal area and rolled down the runway towards the Mary’s Boon end of the runway. We watched it turn and wind it’s engines out and start to roll in our general direction. By the time it reached the area we were in, perhaps half way down the runway from where it started to roll, it was already nose up and on its way. What a site to behold!
Respectfully,

Hopefully you took a picture?? I so miss seeing the KLM 747. I'm sorry to say that we have a shi*tload of plane pictures...lol!! Instead of putting in my report I will grab some of hubby's and post for you Carol. That Air France take off is incredible. They are lifted and off before you think they could be. Certainly do not need that whole runway.

For some reason, all Air France planes for the past 1.5 weeks has been taking off over Maho....while all other have taken off heading away from Maho...
