Holy.....what the....just watch these. If you ever wondered how strong the jet blast was on the beach...watch in delight as an AF 743 literally blows curious tourists into the sea.

PS, the link at the bottom of the page downloads all the videos as one zip file.

If your on dial-up, it takes a bit of time. The big all in one zip package is 20mb, but well worth the downloading while you sleep

Looks like their just running into the sea, probably to get away from the sand blasting Smiley

very cool videos, having stood behind a 757  on its takeoff roll, about 100 feet behind you get hit with an awfuly strong blast of jet engines:) i can only imagine what a 747 is like

Spent a whole day at the end of the runway at SXM and got blasted but it was from the booze at the sunset beach bar.
Besides who watches aircraft when most of the femmes there were topless. Gentlemen get your priorities straight.
I did most of my flying in Ric's American Bar down there and never put the seatbelt on once.
