In this installation of crazy aviation videos, step into the cockpit with the pilot and co-pilot of a KLM 747-400 as it flies from Amsterdam (AMS) to St. Maarten (SXM). The crew explains how they're able to successfully land such an enormous aircraft on a relatively short runway surrounded by less than hospitable terrain. You'll also see stunning head-on views of the entire island from the cockpit — a vantage point that passengers will likely never experience.
Have you seen a 747 land at SXM?
