But you're nice people so I'm not jaleous and in fact I'm happy to read that you here relax and enjoy flying while still showing that you don't take risks on safety

Then my memory was not betraying me! I said familiar in my previous post because I spent an Easter vacation on this beach, on holiday: I was 8 yrs old, so a looooooong time ago. I remember me and my brother taking pics as fools, but I was not addicted to flight at the time, and they disappeared somewhere in the granary, with my bro's toys, when he grew up. When I ran into the picture I posted I was trying to understand if it was this airport or maybe another somewhere on earth. Yesteday, after posting, I was looking for an old photo album, to see if I could find the info, and tell the name: Princess Juliana Int'l, in the island of Saint Martin, just one pic left of the landings.... there was Air France and KLM flying there from Europe. I think that the beach was the "gate" of the rwy. if you were sitting there you could not hear anything anymore for some time, just the engine thursts, and feel all the sand moving and going to your face. it was not really relaxing for some people (who were trying to nap ie) , but my brother and I really enjoyied. And you know what? I remember that inside the terminal of the airport there was a restaurant my parents loved: where you could eat incredible lobsters (i liked better ice cream...)....who know if it still exists!!!
And Frank, no worries. we won't think anything bad/wrong if you do not post all the time, there are busy times: I think that as soon as I find a job (what I'm doing lately) I won't have an average of 10 posts everyday anymore!
And I do not think it depends from us, the fact of you being jealous or not. you're not a jealous person. Period. but you'll see: I'm used to think that if you long for something so bad, at the end you have it. it's a kind of law, I think. the secret is positive attitude.................gosh, I sound a little bit "new age" rubbish......but it's true. I could see it several times in my life....have a nice day!!!
