At least it isn't swinging

Ah, Winair, the only airline that flies to my island, because you need pilots that can do crazy shit like this...
Randazzo
Holy moses that's an impressively low speed
Dissipo
Absolutely unforgiving on any mistakes, and that road sign needs to move.

I mean, how the plane stay airborne when the pilot's balls are so large?

One assumes there is a crazy island runway right there

Or a huge net.

And this is why they can no longer have Double-Decker Bus tourist tours.
Type17
It's also where the open-top tour bus was first invented...

Flying so low, the pilot could crush the roof of some car with his steel balls
Bytencoder
Driving through that roundabout when that happens requires balls of equally Mohs hardness steel.

I was absolutely convinced is was from some simulator, but... https://www.jetphotos.com/photo/keyword/pj-wiq

It's real. This is a much smaller plane that can land further down the runway and it's still hairy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=df4zoPJjl-E

It's the approach to the airstrip at St. Barts, it's insane
Roguishpotato
It is. It simulates a plane crash.
There are other similar images around. The main doubt for me comes from the fact that no one of the drivers / bystanders even looks at the plane.

If they live there, they’ve seen it many times. Just guessing.

Landing on St. Barthélémy's runway 10: https://maps.app.goo.gl/wAxMAcTiasHa7TeZ6 – that approach IS a tad low though.
AllTheGoodOnesWereGone
A bit.
BigRobbo
The word "tad" is doing A LOT of Leg work there
Here's a video of another landing seen from runway level: https://old.reddit.com/r/SweatyPalms/comments/1i9tdg7/imaging_having_to_land_at_st_barts_650_meter/ - it's wild.

"I paid for 2,119 feet of runway, I'm gonna use 2,119 feet of runway!"- that pilot
It's one of those "fun" approaches following a ground slope: A proper one would only be single-digits meters higher.

Oh ok... you weren't kidding... thats kind of insane.
