I'm surprised you didn't try camping out at the Sunset Beach Bar for the views😂 I'm not a plane enthusiast at all, just love watching you two enjoy yourselves.
Skiathos' airport beach in Greece sees Maho Beach and says "Finally, a worthy opponent! Our battle will be legendary". Another neat fact about St. Maarten is that it has the world's shortest commercial international flight which is between there and the British island of Anguilla (in fact you can see a flight coming from Anguilla at 1:45). The flight takes just 10 minutes (your St Maarten-St Barth's flight takes 15 minutes). Unlike the neighboring St. Martin, Anguilla is pretty laid back and this is because of it being sparsely populated and that it didn't make the decision to develop tourism until the 1980s. They actually used to be its own republic for a short time in the 1960s, and this is why it has three dolphins on its flag (as that was on the flag of the republic). Basically, the UK combined them with St. Kitts, they were unhappy as they preferred to be their own colony, they kicked out the St. Kitts police, held a referendum to leave St. Kitts that neither the UK nor St. Kitts recognized, held another referendum in favor of being a republic, then the UK sent a contingent of 331 2nd Battalion, The Parachute Regiment, plus 30 London Metropolitan Police officers. While St Kitts got their independence, Anguilla has remained British.
Omg, what a small world, finding your channel through Dennis Bunnik’s, feeling associated with travel being a flight attendant myself, having my love living in Australia , where I will end up in the near future ,I come across you guys going to my islands and filmed it🎉❤. I am a born Saba girl, lived between there and St Maarten until my teenage years,I cried seeing you film my beautiful islands. Especially Saba. I even saw some familiar faces also. Like your taxi driver . I mean come on we all know each other there 😂. Thank you for this video 🙏
Ah yes, an American flying from a part of the Netherlands to a French island, at an airport named after a Swedish king...Mr. Worldwide. Being able to sit right next to the pilot to get a front-row seat of the action of this one-of-a-kind flight experience is the equivalence of winning Powerball. JEALOUS! St. Barth's history is quite interesting! The island was Swedish from 1784 to 1878! France gave Sweden the island in exchange for French trading rights in Gothenburg. With that, the Swedish West India Company was established, but the colony wasn't quite successful. The islanders faced a feverish epidemic that led to the deaths of 300 people in 1840, as well as a severe drought in 1850. Sweden no longer saw the colony as viable and attempted to give it to the US in the late 1860s. They even tried giving it to ITALY, but Sweden stopped talks with Italy after realizing Italy wanted to use it as a penal colony. So when Oscar II became King in 1872, he approached France about returning the island, which they agreed to in August 1877, and the French officially reoccupied it in March 1878.
First time I went to St Maarten was in 2003. Back then the Maho beach bar was a shack doing $2 Carib’s and you had 747’s screaming in over the beach. It was heaven. Then the cruise ships turned up… and well The rest is history.
How cool that you were about to pay cash and get 2 seats on a charter! Saint Maarten is definitely on my bucket list. I've always washed to visit the beach at the end of the runway! Thx for the great video as always!
I went to Saba recently as well. That other BN Islander (PJ-WEB, another Windward Express aircraft) you can see at 10:30 unfortunately suffered some damage to its port side main gear after a presumably hard landing. It apparently encountered wind shear and is now temporarily stranded. Good job to your Winair air pilots for landing in that tailwind!
On the subject of Britten Norman Islanders, one day I hope to see Jeb fly with FIGAS, the only national airline with just that plane in their fleet. They're based at Stanley, but they fly to dozens of places all over the Falkland Islands, including the international airport at Mount Pleasant.
Those are my little twin brothers name, Ryan and Bryan. .. ❤️ Also, awesome video! We visited Maho Beach via cruise ship back in 2017 and watching those planes land and take off was so beautiful!
Well that was some good "check your shorts" kind of flying....LOL One of these days, I'll make it over that way. To answer Suzanne's questions at the end, Yes, You are GOOD!
in 2015 I visited St.Marteen and saw a Boeing 747 land at st.Maarten. The flight no longer runs because because of how close to the end of the runway stopped. The flight was on klm and went from Amsterdam to st .Marteen.
Back when KLM had their 747 landing at Maho, you’d see people literally get blown back into the beach. I once saw a kid get kart-wheeled. You definitely want to exercise caution there but it’s an awesome place to visit.
I think that islanders and Trilanders still do the Orkney Island routes among them the shortest flight in the world if the wind is correct. Worth a review. Many years ago Inverness to Wick was a Trilander
in 2016, I flew to Simikot, Nepal. A very short runway. One side Hill and other side deep cliff. My returnig flight was missed by 5 minutes and due to wind, I have to spend night. But I enjoy that mountainous flight. Loved that flight. Mine excitement was same as yours.
St. Maarten is so well known for those on the beach braving prop and jet blast. I learned how to fly under the FAA's Light Sport rules, and I have taken off from grass, dirt and of course paved runways. One of the best places to watch commercial traffic at any major airport is atop the parking garage at Sky Harbor's terminal four in Phoenix, with downtown Phoenix nearby as a backdrop. Sky Harbor is one of the closest major commercial airports to a downtown and just before the last Super Bowl, they finished the Sky Train to the car rental center. One grass runway in PA near Stroudsburg, Pegasus airport I flew from and landed at has tall trees at each end of the runway, which requires a dive and then a sharp pull out into the flare, and I did it in a taildragger with the owner of the aircraft at the controls, showing off his ample practice at the landing.. But the grass slowed us down fast, it is easier to ground loop a taildragger on a paved runway. The plane was owned by a friend, it was a Vintage 1939 Luscombe 8A, the oldest aircraft I ever flew with an Ercoupe I flew in Texas a close second.
Jeb, thanks so much for showcasing a couple of the small islands that we have not been to before! Exciting and beautiful and PLANES!! Now, it’s time for us to follow your tracks on this adventure! Take care.
Great vlog as always! That is on my list too! That plane was from 1982, but the type was from the late 60s together with the Short Skyvan. I have been a pax on the SH360 from MSP-IWD in 1987 with Simmons and NW. Keep up the good work. Be safe! Happy easter from Norway!

Every Saturday, I look for this guy’s new video, and every week, he somehow makes it better than the last. Good job Jeb!
agree 100 percent
He is not just “this guy” he is Jeb Brooks
But yes I do agree
I'm surprised you didn't try camping out at the Sunset Beach Bar for the views😂 I'm not a plane enthusiast at all, just love watching you two enjoy yourselves.
I definitely would have!

Such wise words from Mr Supreme Kim that I felt it coming inside me ❤
OMG! I love Suzanne!! “You DO know that planes land INTO the wind?!?” She’s amazing!
Awesome video! I really appreciate the lengths (1312 feet) you go to get the best aviation footage.

15:48 That 727 is gorgeous!

I always love visiting that beach.
I just got back from both SXM and SBH last week. Celebrating my 55th Birthday. What an incredible trip. 😎🌴✈️
I love plane spotting at Maho.
How cool that you were about to pay cash and get 2 seats on a charter! Saint Maarten is definitely on my bucket list. I've always washed to visit the beach at the end of the runway! Thx for the great video as always!
Wow that is crazy with the airports. Love the adventurous spirit in you and Suzanne. Keep up the good work.
I always wonder how many people on flights like these know how unique they are, and how many just need to get somewhere for work.
I went to Saba recently as well.

I have been to St Maarten & St Barth's airports, exciting for sure..
Your videos are never disappointing. I hope you consider flying on Breeze Airways soon, because I’m anxious to hear your opinion about them.
The most colourful and complete video of St-Martin aviation hot-spots I have seen!
I am always excited to watch the Jeb brooks video of the week!! Cant wait to watch this one
The right seat?! That's awesome!!
This guys vids remind of something straight from the travel channel, voice over and all.
Great video, Jeb! Your videos are first class regardless of which class you fly in!
On the subject of Britten Norman Islanders, one day I hope to see Jeb fly with FIGAS, the only national airline with just that plane in their fleet. They're based at Stanley, but they fly to dozens of places all over the Falkland Islands, including the international airport at Mount Pleasant.
My best friend went to med school on St. Martin. He loved Saba over the other islands because of the people and diving.
Glad you got to visit Saba (I live here), but I’m from Sint Maarten. You both look familiar I might’ve seen you walking in the windward side.
Those are my little twin brothers name, Ryan and Bryan. .. ❤️
Also, awesome video! We visited Maho Beach via cruise ship back in 2017 and watching those planes land and take off was so beautiful!
Well that was some good "check your shorts" kind of flying....LOL One of these days, I'll make it over that way.
To answer Suzanne's questions at the end, Yes, You are GOOD!
Watching some Netherlands footage from the Netherlands 👍🏻👍🏻
I had to scrunch up my toes to help with that landing. Excellent work!!
A few years back I flew in a Trilander from Bournemouth to Alderney and back....so amazing
Wake up babe, new Jeb video just dropped
This video is so fun! I always look forward to your video adventures. TY both.
I think I missed this one unbelievable 😮
in 2015 I visited St.Marteen and saw a Boeing 747 land at st.Maarten.
The flight no longer runs because because of how close to the end of the runway stopped. The flight was on klm and went from Amsterdam to st .Marteen.
Over in Europe we have our own St Maarten airport located on the greek island of Skiathos.
TNCM, TJSJ, and TNCS are my absolute favorites in the Caribbean. I need to get back. You need to climb the mountain on Saba!!
Per usual, awesome video footage. I am sold! Saba here I come.
From the lower part of the kingdom of the Netherlands thanks for the episode, Saba looked amazing, all the islands did. 😊
Suzanne's Delta hat is on point!
Feels good to be this early!!!!
Out of ALL the videos you’ve done, this is the one I’m most jealous of.
I loved this video so much, Jeb!
Fabulous video. One of your best and most interesting!
Beautiful setting. Great video. Thank you.
Another really enjoyable video. Thank you for sharing!
On my very top wishlist of airports to Visit (SBH). Fantastic footage!
Back when KLM had their 747 landing at Maho, you’d see people literally get blown back into the beach. I once saw a kid get kart-wheeled.
You definitely want to exercise caution there but it’s an awesome place to visit.
The hop over from San Juan to Culebra is also very similar to the St Barth landing 🛬
Good to see the British plane represented here!
I think that islanders and Trilanders still do the Orkney Island routes among them the shortest flight in the world if the wind is correct.
Worth a review.
Many years ago Inverness to Wick was a Trilander
You are the bar Jeb! Always enjoy the videos
❤ St. Barth’s 😉👍🏻
Another great video Jeb thanks for sharing buddy
Thanks for this vlog. Happy Easter. 🐇
Favorite Jeb Brooks vdo to date
in 2016, I flew to Simikot, Nepal. A very short runway. One side Hill and other side deep cliff. My returnig flight was missed by 5 minutes and due to wind, I have to spend night. But I enjoy that mountainous flight. Loved that flight. Mine excitement was same as yours.
That pizza looked amazing.......wish I could have grabbed a slice through the computer screen....
It was super delicious pizza. Thanks for watching!
I think Saint Martin is where Captain Ron parallel parked Martin's Yacht in the movie Captain Ron if memory serves me right, great video.
So much fun and scary
Love the thumb! Great job!!!
I love that you are able to travel to so many cool places!
That last flight was the best I have seen on your channel. Keep up the good work.
Awesome video........no idea what camera you used in first part but was so clear and bright.
Awesome video as always 😊
Love your videos: so much better with Mrs. B in them ! All good husbands know their role in life....
Done that flight. So much fun
St. Maarten is fire! I've never been but want to go so bad. The Caribbean overall is a fun place to fly! Great vid and keep up the good work!
St Baarths is where i recall a small plane over ran the end of the runway and ended up in the sea quite some time ago.
I love Jeb's silly hat!
First Officer JB 🤩 Another awesome video!
I believe Jeb was a little extra perky in this video. Beautiful aerial shots.
That scares the crap out of me.
Funniest part about this video coming out right now is that I just finished watching Swiss001’s series on these places!
Ok now you guys need to do a trip to the Himalayas and fly into Paro, Bhutan and Lukla, Nepal.
Perhaps also a ski trip to courchevel?
I like the hat. White reflects, good choice.
St Maarten is gorgeous; glad you had fun there!
Locals pronounce SABA as (SAYBER) :).... awesome video....greetings from a aviation Spotter in St. Kitts and Nevis just a few miles away.
Great Video Jeb, Nice to see those take offs and landings.
I have been to many islands in the Caribbean, union islands runway was the most memorable. It ended in the ocean.
Thoroughly enjoyable glad you made it back to St Maarten. For $130 per person, that is just a pricey taxi ride.
Love the Delta hat❤
The Winair branded fan was great
Fantastic video guys!😸
Fantastic video, guys.
Well Jeb, looks like your TH-cam career is really “taking off!”
St. Maarten is so well known for those on the beach braving prop and jet blast. I learned how to fly under the FAA's Light Sport rules, and I have taken off from grass, dirt and of course paved runways.

Have you flown into/out of Lukla? That airport looks terrifying.
Fantastic footage!
BEAUTIFUL VIDEO !
Honestly, riding in the co-pilot seat of a plane is a 10/10 on IFE.
I will definitely be going to those other Islands when I go to St Maarten.
Nice video!! Keep up the good work
01:40 Do those $18 burger include fries?
Luv Jeb's presentations!
Congratulations I heard you two were married but official at 2:36 lol
Also anyone else 👀 jeb's mighty fine watch collection?
WOW!!!!
Jeb, thanks so much for showcasing a couple of the small islands that we have not been to before! Exciting and beautiful and PLANES!! Now, it’s time for us to follow your tracks on this adventure! Take care.
Great film, good job you have a Tech Expert with you!:D
Amazing Video Jeb, one of the most amazing experiences in my life was to witness the Landing and departure of KLM 747 on Maho Beach in 2017.
Great vlog as always! That is on my list too! That plane was from 1982, but the type was from the late 60s together with the Short Skyvan. I have been a pax on the SH360 from MSP-IWD in 1987 with Simmons and NW. Keep up the good work. Be safe! Happy easter from Norway!
Wow....
