This guy may have been just a little too eager to hit the beach... Oh well, there could be worse places to do this I suppose.

Ah yes...the, I did it on Flite Sim, so I can do it in real life, long-landing at St. Bart's. Du-mass!

Forget 2/3 if your not down in the first third of the runway at a place like that it is time to slam them forward. Got to love the camera guys reaction. "That kind of.........blows"

Watching this landing made my day. I thought this was the runway at St. Maarten in the Netherlands Antilles. Is this runway at St. Bars?

Never forget go-arounds are free...Well, not exactly free, since the extra time is costing you more $$, but it sure as heck isn't nearly as much as the damage to the plane from running off the end!
