Wow is all I can say about this DVD. The footage from TNCM (St Maarten) makes it all worth while. The details they go through in this DVD is outstanding. The extensive pre flight was great to learn from and shows how many factors are involved and also the amount of consideration that is given to fly such a large bird into a small airport like TNCM.
I also love the overhead camera replay of the landing at TNCM. You pretty much have to ace any 747 landing there, zero room for error on such a short runway. The crew did a great job!
