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...

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!!!

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