Spotter's notes
The Boeing that tried to kill me. At Maho Beach, next to Princess Juliana airport planes take off with the jet blast towards the beach. People, like my self “ride the fence “ as the blast pelts sand beads around your whole body. Not pleasant. Unfortunately I lost my Boeing ball cap, which blew a ways out to sea.
