That was probably at TNCM on St Martin/Sint Maarten! For my sins
I've actually landed/departed there in a KLM 747. Landing is
always from the sea and departure is always towards the mountains
across the bay. A fully laden 747 with enough fuel to reach
Amsterdam would be far too heavy to take off so a re-fuelling stop
has to be made at Curacao in the Dutch Antilles en route. Quite
an experience ...

Nice video and I like the HD.
A couple of years ago we were sailing out of one of the Caribbean
islands, where the finals path crossed the route taken by cruise
ships,
where they are quite close in. I remember wondering whether there
had to
be some comms between ATC and the port authority, as a cruise ship
definitely intercepted the glideslope at the point the paths
crossed.
