Very cool article @ SimHQ:
FSX vs. Reality
by Chris “BeachAV8R” Frishmuth

Here's a direct link to the video from the article.

Having personally been to Princess Juliana airport (TNCM) on the island of Saint Maarten, this all looks very authentic. The photos on page 3 especially reminds me of some very memorable fly by moments from the Sunset Beach Bar!

Imagine how this will look with Vista and DX10...

Given the chance I would live on that beach! Jet engines are music to me.

Nothing like grabbing three of your best buddies and griping on to the fence at the airport perimeter behind KLM's Jumbo Jet, for the late afternoon departure, one behind each engine as they spool up for takeoff from Princess Juliana airport. If you don't mind getting sand blasted to hell and back and smelling like kerosene for about a week, you're about to embark on the white-knuckle ride of a lifetime as you hold on for dear life to the wire-fence while withstanding temperatures and heat that will darken your skin faster than spending an entire month without sunscreen on the planet Mercury!!!

Superman-style!!!

Kids, please don't try this at home... leave it to the professionals!

or just leave it to the dare devils like me. I mean I chase tornadoes in real life so can't be much worse.

Saw the movie on YouTube and damn the only difference is that you see that 1 is on c 1 in RF.
