Following my previous posts on “How does autopilot work?” and “How do planes cross the Atlantic?” KLM also produced a neat video showing how land at one of the most scenic airports ever – in St. Maarten. This is an airplane landing you have to see.
Sint Maarten has one of the most challenging runways in the world. Join KLM Captain ten Velde as he lands a 747 at St. Maarten, bound from Amsterdam. It’s a stunning video, with great shots of the island, the beach, and the airport which the giant bird will land in.
