RESPONSE: I suppose that means you are never going to Maho Beach in St Maarten where you can almost touch the wheels of a plane (as it lands) if your standing on a car. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6142449273157117921&sourceid=docidfeed&hl=en On another note, Phil, I don't quite understand how a B747-400 can land on a 7150' runway in St Maarten but cannot land on Dabolim's 7850' airstrip. Many months ago when we talked about runway lengths I do recall there was a discussion about the Dabolim runway being extended to over 10000' to support Seabird (Karwar). - Bosco ------------------------------------------------------- Goanet recommends, and is proud to be associated with, 'Domnic's Goa' - A nostalgic romp through a bygone era.
