Has anybody ever flown into St. Barts?

Posted by JD (aka Jason Dean) Apr 24 '23, 10:19

The approach into Gustaf III requires pilots to fly frighteningly close to traffic, crest a hill, and then fly downward toward the runway, before leveling out to land. It also has one of the shortest and narrowest runways of any airport in the world, at just 2,100 feet long and 60 feet wide

As planes come in to land, they get so close to traffic that they can actually hit vehicles and even people. (www.thedrive.com)

No shortage of YouTube videos on this. -- nm - Mop🧹 Apr 24, 11:38
Sounds a little like Catalina Island. Cliff at both ends and a hill in the middle. -- nm - Meg ⛵ Apr 24, 10:37
