From airport St. Maarten for a day plane spotting to the famous Airport St. Barts, Gustaf III (SBH) on the Caribbean Island of Saint Barthelemy, for amazing shots of airplane approaches and landings in gusty crosswinds.
Both are among the most dangerous airports in the world. Saint Martin Airport Princess Juliana (SXM) is No. 4 and St. Barth (SBH) is No. 3 and both have spectacular things to offer.

Main Sections:
00:00 Approach and Landing at the hill with roundabout and steep downhill
02:38 Low landing over car traffic
04:06 Close up view Winair Twin Otter with takeoff
07:38 Steep landing St. Barth Commuter Twin Otter and takoff
08:33 Airport runway view from the beach

09:02 ! Change to strong and gusty wind conditions !

12:10 Great landings in the evening sun

St. Barth airport places high demands on the pilots and that's because: the approach takes place over a hill with a lot of car traffic, then a steep descent to the runway RWY 28 with only 646 meters and this ends just before the sea.
On the hill, the planes fly just a few meters above the car traffic and the descent is often complicated by gusty crosswinds.
Most aircraft arrive from St. Maarten with airlines from St. Barth Commuter, WINAIR and Tradewind Aviation flying 10 minutes and fly De Havilland DHC6 Twin Otter, WINAIR Twin Otter and Pilatus PC12/45 aircraft.

Airport name of the French island of SaintBarthélemy in the Caribbean until October 2015:
Gustaf III Airport or Saint Barthélemy Airport or St. Jean Airport.

New name from October 2015 on:
