St Maarten is a really neat trip. There is a bar at the end of the runway that you can see in the photos called the sunset beach bar, which is a great place to drink beer and watch the planes come and go.

They even have speakers on their deck which broadcast the ATC traffic. The heavies come and go between about 1200 and 17-1800 timeframe. All day you get the silly little Carib air puddle jumpers. AF flies the A340, Corsair and KLM both run 747s in and out, US-DL-AA all run 757 service, and CO flies both 757s and 737s in / out. Great fun for an afternoon.
