On St. Martin in the Caribbean, huge crowds gather at the airport to watch the planes land and take off. The Air France flight is the plane everyone waits for...it's the biggest! Landing is easy to shoot from the restaurant to the side. Taking off is another story. Too close to the runway, and you and your camera get sand blasted and knocked into the ocean...not fun.

Shot from the side with my Nikon D-300, 18-55mm lens, CS-2, and Nik filters.
