What’s a landing!
Hi @PhuongSGN
Wow this is such a cool shot! Where is this place? It looks like a paradise island. When did you go there and how long did you stay? What else can you experience there except for the amazing waters and beaches?
Do you go there often or was this your first time? I’ve seen similar shots with plains being so close to the beach, it seems crazy.
Thanks for sharing!
Hey @DanniS ,
The place is Con Dao Island in the south of Vietnam. Here people can go the beaches, islands and do trekking; it has a big National Park too.
It’s my second times to visit the island, always like it!
Hi @PhuongSGN Great Photo!
This landing of an airplane near water reminds me of two places in the world where runways are close to the sea and they are a great attraction.
One location is on Saint-Martin Island, where Maho Beach is close to “Princess Juliana” International Airport, which contributes additional to the emotion the beach people .
Another place is in Greece on the island of Skiathos, which it is not so popular. The difference here is that there is no beach and the emotion is not big as much as on Maho Beach.
I haven’t been to either of these two places and thanks to Google Maps I know they exist.
PhuongSGN, Is there such emotion on the island of Con Dao as on the island of Saint-Martin and the island of Skiathos. Thank you!
@PhuongSGN amazing
Hi @mockata2
Thanks for your information of other 2 beach airports.
The beach I took the photo just next to the runway of the airport, so people on the beach actually could feel the planes just above their heads. I am not sure about the emotion, but many people going there just waiting to see the planes landing, so much excitement!
The name of the beach is Dam Trau (Con Dao Islands, Vietnam), you can check on Google!
Cheers
Phil
Thank you @PhuongSGN for information on Con Dao Island in Vietnam. Thanks to you, I already know of another place like Saint Martin and Skiathos.
I’m sure there are many more runways around the world where landing and taking on planes off is considered fun.
Best regards!
