[SEDXC] [SECC] New Country

[Gregg W6IZT]

I have been to the airport at ST Barts. It is a tight approach. I am going
to be in St Martin from Jan 6 through 13. I am trying to figure out a way to
get to ST Barts and to get on the air!

For you aviation buffs out there checkout these pictures of the approach to
the St Barts airport. It is a short

runway with a hill on one end and a beach at the other. You have to dive
bomb down over the hill when landing from that direction. When landing from
the other end you approach low over the beach.
