This is, by far, the lowest heavyjet approach I've ever seen a photo of, aside from the famous AOM DC-10 picture from years ago. :eek:

Look at those folks standing right underneath her... wow!

Is there a pic of this AOM landing on the net? Could someone post a link if known? Cheers.

Oh no, it's gonna land right on top of us http://img61.photobucket.com/albums/v185/MemoryLane/bolt.gif.

[Chris Kilroy]

Can't find a picture of the AOM on the 'net, but I have it on my computer. Here it is!

The Pic in question states that the KLM 747-400 is perhaps on 13 odd ft about the ground.

Take a look at the man on the left of the pic (black trunks)- even if he was 6ft exact, the 747 is more likely 35ft off the ground rather than 13.

Tad lil error eh!

Perception is everything....

He may be 30-35 feet over the water, but the top of the beach is probably 12 feet above water level.

[MaxPower]

[babypurin]

Its great that there are so many photographers throughout the world that they can get these awesome shots; we should be thankful that their is a place called: St Maarten. ;)

Wow, that is low. It's a shame that he blew the exposure so badly.

[onlyboeingifly]

.......wow!!.......

[Lamboo1]

Isnt it about time they install a Precision Ins approach..... for the peoples sake, cos hey... we all love these pics :smilewin:

[pbateson]

I remember the Air France 747-100 in the picture of the homepage was very too

low than KLM 744 over the people in beach.

Good picture speaking by itself.
