INSANE Plane Spotting in ST. BARTS! Gustaf III Airport (SBH/TFFJ) (4K)

Gustaf III Airport, also known as Rémy de Haenen Airport, serves the island of Saint Barthélemy in the northeastern Caribbean.

It's also one of the most challenging airports in the world, with a short runway that has a large hill located right off the runway's western end, meaning planes have to dive for the runway just a few hundred feet in the air.

It's a thrilling experience just to be there, let alone watch on video, so I hope you enjoy this plane spotting compilation from one of the coolest airports on the planet!

The First Rule of St. Bart's: Get the hell on the runway.

That tire screech on the Islander doing a U-turn @ 5:44!

About a month ago I flew my Cessna 172 from Montreal to Pointe-à-Pitre. The trip wouldn't have been complete without an approach into the notorious St.Barths. So I completed the rating required to land at St.Barths with a local instructor and thereafter flew my Cessna solo to St.Barths to spend the day there. St.Barths definitely is the most challenging approach I have ever flown in my entire life. I deeply respect all the pilots who fly that approach on a daily basis all year long with all kinds of weather. I can't imagine what it's like landing there during the cyclonic season.

19:07 helicopter’s skills are perfect!

[vancemarin]

Impressive what those Twin Otters can do !!!

[jeffreybryner]

amazing @9:53 how quickly the PC-12 Lands 10 and gets stopped in time to get off Taxiway B 😯

[jelani]

The sad thing is that the DHC-6 of Air Antilles isnt flying anymore after a collision with a Helicopter at St Barts. I will truly miss her

[ropshubop]

I’ve watched so many spotting videos from here but somehow yours just hits different 😂

[marsgal]

You had way too much fun! 😍

Good call at 22:47 - getting long, incipient porpoise, go around and try again. Even the pros had their hands full in that wind. Except for that helicopter pilot. I've done some back-of-the-envelope flight planning via the Bahamas and Puerto Rico...

[DaBrute]

I love that those twin otters can make the 2nd taxiway, no backtrack required 💪

[Василий-пж]

Сууупппееерр💯💯💯💯💯💯 шикарно💯💯💯💯💯💯 спасибо за офффигенное

[luschmiedt]

The difference in approach and landing speed between the Twin Otter and Caravan is impressive

[RailfanBrenden.]

12:18 Wow What A Beautiful Beach View with A PC-12 taking Off 🛫

[Lobster_Gaming]

As a recent entrant of the plane enjoying community, I have to say that this place is 1000% on my bucket list, that looks like an epic approach

[ndirangugichuki]

Bad ass !! Well done to all those pilots.... 👍

[richard_muschette]

Its always a pleasure to watch aircraft in action at St. Barth Airport.

[LMays-cuhp]

[Wotherspoon]

[davec]
