Airport approach

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 4 Jan 2014 at 19:28:39 (UTC)

Original – US Airways Boeing 757 over Maho Beach on final approach to Princess Juliana International Airport on Saint Martin, 2009. The airport has a very low-altitude landing approach since its only runway 09 is adjacent to the Atlantic shore.

Reason

Currently we don't seem to have FPs of this type, though there are several such airports in the world. High EV, aircraft in focus, geocoded camera location, and here is the warning sign :)

• Support but I'd like some text to be added to the caption about the uniqueness of the airport, also as a tourist attraction. Tomer T (talk) 19:34, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

• Oppose The colours seem somewhat oversaturated. Nick-D (talk) 04:02, 23 December 2013 (UTC)
• Comment. Is it intentional that the background is tilted? 86.171.174.136 (talk) 02:53, 24 December 2013 (UTC)
• Oppose Nothing FP about this photo. The EV is a little off for the airport because none of the actual airport is shown. about 10 feet to the right of the edge of the photo is a short cement barrier, a one lane road, then a chain-link fence and then immediately the airport. If the subject is the airport, a shot including the plane dropping above the fence and the beach would be better. -- ТимофейЛееСуда. 21:43, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
