It really is surprising at the # of people who don't want to go too far to start their aviation career.I don't know many of them off hand but I have met a few that's for sure. As far as flying goes for low timers I personally think it still isn't that great at the moment for landing a flying job/Ram...

Beach's on Final Approach?

Hey,just wondering if anyone knows which Island(s) it is that people get those neat photographs from, where you see a B-747 for example flying over someone lying on the beach at like 150ft.?

Is it St.Marten?...hmm
