  • A Boeing 747-400 operated by Corsair departing St. Maarten right over my head. Watch the rear wheels leave the runway right at the end!

    same takeoff from the side view...the shadows from the clouds in my video match the ones in the link...should definitively prove its Corsair

    This has got to be one of the best filmed 747 departure from St Maarten- well done to whoever filmed it WELL DONE!

      pjdsa rotation is when the nose comes up and the airplane (hopefully) establishes a positive rate of climb

I think you're thinking of old Corsair livery as from this photo, of a Corsair 747-400 at the same airport, you'll see that it does REMOTELY have those colours!!! upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3c/Corsair_Boeing_747-400_Jurado-1.jpg

      Pascal ///M Power An A380 isn't that spectacular. A 747 screams while taking off, you can hear that in the video. An A380 makes less noise and takes off much easier due to the hugh wings. A 747 or Antonov 124 is pretty much the most insane take off you can imagine at SXM ;D

    • @ddraguti
      @ddraguti 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      They say A380 has manoeuvre capability like no other plane, it can fly at encredible slow speed so despite the short runway perhaps the landings and take offs are still possible for A380? They never tried did they.

    Took my wife there a few years ago. It was fun to watch. The thing that made me shudder was the engine exhaust blowing across that road...the sand, and any little pebbles, looked like it would hurt a lot. But the crazies just ignored it. Very few wore goggles.

    Excellent video, I'm interested to know, was it the jet blast that pointed the camera down to the sand or was it a nervous reaction that the plane may strike it?

    One evening in Toronto I was standing just beyond the end of one of the runways watching takeoffs.
    A 747-400 lumbered to the end of the runway and began its takeoff roll coming straight towards me just like this.
    I was absolutely certain he would never lift off. He finally rotated and could not have been more than 150 feet above my head. Unbelievable.
