Airbus A330-300 (F-GZCA)

Great Capture Andrew

This is an Air France Airbus 330-200 with 224 passenger capacity, landing at the Princess Juliana International Airport (SXM. The airport is located on the Dutch side of the island, in the country of Sint Maarten, close to the shore of Simpson Bay Lagoon.d. The runway is about 500 feet away from the beach and separated from the airport fence by a two lane highway. This is one of the world's most photographed spots where jets up to KLMs 747-8 are seen wheels down for landing over the heads of gaping tourists. The airport, with only 14 ft elevation, has very low-altitude flyover landing approaches because one end of its only runway (10-28)is extremely close to the shore and Maho Beach.

why does the poster not know the registration (visible in the photo), aircraft type designator, nor location? If it is your photo, you should certainly know where; if it's not your photo, do you have permission to post it here?

While the passengers are waiting on the beach......lol
