Being a pilot must be an absolutely amazing career despite the crazy amount of challenges. They have my every respect for how talented they are.
Luke Staten mhm
Best job ever. I flew for 20 years but unfortunately got Leukemia and lost my medical.
@@blueloop3155 u
I'd rather be a fighter pilot
not talented, they did school :)))
is not a talent to fly in a plane LOL
St Maarten’s challenging runway!
Great video! More of this sort of fun please at airports around the world
Nice
Great video!! Proceeding direct to my favourites! :)
great
Sensacional!!!
I hav flown by KLM at lest 20 times on lnternational flights n always enjoyed my flights.The crew n especially the Pilots were extremely thorough in their announcements.Deep respects to all the pilots world over🙏♥️👩✈️
I got it recommended after watching a video on 1977 Tenerife aircrash. UA-cam, you're surprising me
I can visualize it: you fly five thousand miles to the island, and then you spend your vacation on a beach watching airplanes land and take off.
These people more than likely don't spend their entire vacation or even a full day viewing these planes land and take off. Also where else in the world can you be on a beach and have planes fly overhead.? You go on vacations to places that aren't anything like where you live, that's the whole point to experience something NEW.
PVR has a very nice approach area. You can get the planes land close . But not in the beach (the beach side is for takeoffs)
Heligoland! :-)))
David Barnett no
I spent a week there, 3 hours every day I went on Maho Beach, the rest of the time I was either spending my time at the Hotel or exploring the Island and see what sights we could get! And we also got to St-Barths for a day :D
My father flew for United Airlines for 38 years before retiring. Captain Louis Iandoli from NJ. I'd like to hear from any other pilots who flew with him. My father was also a flight instructor out of Denver Co. Unfortunately he had passed away about 10 years ago. I love you, dad♥️
Bless you both,I'm sure he was a fine pilot and father
You're good people
Great Story! From North Jersey (Lodi) lol. May your pops keep flying high above the clouds bro
Alisa. I’m sorry about your father‘s passing away. My father to flew for United for 37 years until he retired at 60 years old. He passed away in 2004. I admire this captain and the good safe job he did in flying and landing this aircraft
I'm sorry about your father passing but I wonder if he is flying with other pilots in heaven
Astounding skill and professional demeanor,congratulations Captain and crew.
In my books, KLM is a model airline that exemplifies customer service excellence, veteran pilots, gorgeous stewardesses. Great airline!!
Agreed 💯 My cousin (who is Dutch) was a 747 Capt until KLM retired them as passenger carriers. Best airline!
Yeah today it is I have high respect for them BUT the Pan Am always going to have my heart
KLM is a high-quality airline, also the oldest commercial airline in the world, with highly trained professionals. KLM's pilot training is a tough and serious training, but this means you have skilled personnel. In addition, KLM considers the well-being of the traveler very important, which you can rely on well-trained stewards and flight attendants. And KLM has a huge maintenance team, which in turn results in well-maintained aircraft. At KLM, things rarely go wrong. Unfortunately, they have built up a lot of debt due to COVID-19, which almost caused AirFrance - KLM to go bankrupt. Today, these debts are paid off to the Dutch government.
"On the iPad you see a route" Oh how time have changed...
It's what they use to replace the thick little book that showed approach vectors, not to mention route maps.
NZpnw I am right now on iPad 😂
I just loved this video a lot.
Captain Tim ten Velde is so fluent in English, WOW. And he landed the Dutch Queen (KLM Boeing 747-400) with sheer elegance!
The RNAV approach to Runway 10 of TNCM is really useful.
Thanks KLM for sharing this!
Shaan E Millat I know im late but this that level of english is common in holland. The dutch are thought to be the best learning at languages. Basically the opposite of the french lol
马航新闻
Dutch and German are part of the same language family as English. Same structure and grammar.
@@tornaparttv3831 the Americans are the most stubborn about languages. As a Canadian it is comical watching them go everywhere and speaking English louder . ( I am a Canadian who only speaks English really so I am not much better, but at least I try)
@@marklittle8805
I think mostly they speak mexican in the USA now. Or ebonics.
Nice video!
When I was about 10 years old, I told my dad “I want to be a pilot when I grow up!”
Well. now I’m 66 and guess what? I’ve never piloted an airplane. But I’ve been in 100’s (probably well over a thousand) flights as a passenger and pilots get my highest respect. KLM is a wonderful airline and I enjoyed my flights from ATL, DTW and MSP to AMS.
Used to commute in the 90's from Stanstead Essex to Germany via KLM it was the best airline
@@akingdom4mypeople343 I was very impressed that one time when I arrived in Amsterdam at the baggage claim, a KLM employee found me and explained that my bag had been delayed! Saved me the wait until all bags were out and of course they delivered the bag to my hotel a few hours later after it arrived on a different flight.
These pilots are doing a very great job.👌👌👌👍👍👍
Your right.
YUP
@@jbudwal aa
Impressive 👍

You forgot to update it
hmm, I tried with mysamsgung (chinese bootleg)
Eduardo How dare you for first part but lol for the 2nd
Thx
Sweden ball du är svensk
I like how the fellas were nice enough to wave before takeoff.
WELL DONE, KLM. I've seen many many videos on commercial air travel from the cockpit POV. This was excellent. Sadly, we will never fly the 747 to St. Maarten again. But thankfully it's documented for eternity.
Bob Boberson De in
PH-BFN the last 747 to operate KL785 triangle flight is now resting in Mojave.
@@skylineXpert yup many airlines have retired their 747's, Inc QANTAS here in Australia. They are still used as cargo planes though I understand
Just gorgeous. My big respect to all pilots.
MY ABSOLUTE RESPECT PILOTS!
Leonhard Rotch calm down
The pilot looks like Harrison Ford!
I think of that too LoL
Andrew Sinaga And a little bit of Gordon Ramsay too.
+SeanTheHOMIE Wouldn't mind flying KLM is the first officer was Chewbacca.
Let's just hope he doesn't fly like him.
SeanTheHOMIE haha
I’ve been on that beach enjoying the water and sun and watching planes take off and land, it is definitely something to see.
In a world of chaos and insanity this video was so refreshing to see professionalism and calm at the top of the charts again thank you for the video
Amazing landing. God bless all the pilots who are flying the planes to the final destination.
I flew KLM last month. Love the airline. great pilots and crew members! will fly forever KLM!
Waoh, bravo captain tim ten velde.
What a well done video. My father flew the majority of his commercial time with American Airlines as a senior captain. He was one of the early 747 captains but mainly flew DC-10s. This video gives me a glimpse into his world up there.
Damn, I'm in love with KLM Boeing 747
Sad KLM will no longer fly the 747 to St. Maarten after next month
Eshrekticism They talk about it here but they also put a link the the news. community.infinite-flight.com/t/747-400-at-sxm-will-be-gone-10-30-16/48290
Its gone...
R.I.P 200000000000000 KLM 747-400s
Ernesto Martinez But The Plane Replaced! Now The Aircraft Is A330 Normal Livery
No, no Airbus.
As a St. Maarten Airport specialist, all I can say is, that this is a superbly made video with great shots and lots of interesting information. What's still missing are some interesting jet blast shots at the fence on Maho Beach during takeoff, where you can see what's going on behind this huge plane.
years ago, i made a daytrip to this island, got an beer an looked from the bar to this small beach.
maybe 40feet sand, small road an the fence. Everything gets blasted away when a larger plane stated oder landed: umbrellas, seats, persons,...
funny to watch
Didn't know Gordon Ramsay was also a pilot..
Pursuit Mane LMAO
@Pursuit Mane 😂😂
Riley Malone jajajajaj
I had the Same though
Imagine how good the meals are on that flight!
What a gorgeous island, amazing aircraft, and a very well made video!!!
Sigh, I miss St. Maarten, want to go back again and do some proper plane spotting this time!
I just want to go back to Orient Beach ❤❤❤ nevermind the jet blasts 4G take off way cooler 😀
Loved the video!!!!
+reknas78 Thanks!
You're welcome :-)
The music is composed by KLM itself, Revan.
+reknas78 Oh, i am flying to ST.Maarteen after watching this video (Schipol - St.Maarten KLM)
747
I would like to thank all the pilots who have made it a safe trip on my behalf. You all are truly professionals.
This video has been in my watch later playlist for 5 years, I finally got round to watching it today
What a fantastic view from the cockpit! It must be one of the greatest feelings to be a pilot and fly a gigantic aircraft right in the middle of the firmaments...
I love the KLM paint jobs 😍
Generic Cringe who doesnt
Boefje0413 #TeamNetherlands
They get some paint from Pan Am Jumbo
This is livery not paint Jobs!
Cpt. NORVEXX emirates have livery’s but not that
Beautiful landing KLM! I remember that airport well back in 1986.
I've watched countless videos of airplanes arriving at/departing from St Maartin's airport, but have never seen it from this perspective. Very cool, I thoroughly enjoyed this video!
I could watch this all day long Have been on a KLM 747. It is a magnificent plane
Booked KLM return flight for my first international flight! Can't wait😄 i'm in love with this airline
These guys are Pros. Fascinating video. Thank you!
But a camera view from the plane showing the crowd on the beach as well as the runway would've been nice
Good point. Nevertheless an awesome vid. I love the music, at first, i thought it was Ocean Lab, by Above and Beyond but Shazam could not recognize it.
An excellent video! Honestly, you have one of the finest channels of an airline on youtube! The queen of the skies surely is beautiful!
747 is a legend! Beautiful, invincible sky beast 😍 KLM is the extraordinary professional an incredibly reliable company.🙌🏻
Yeah
My respect to the whole pilots for doing their best, driving and saving the lives of the people...God bless you all
Loved watching this. I am still terrified of flying- landing and take off esp. But it's amazing. just amazing how these pilots 1st & 2nd operates these machine/ birds
This is such a beautifully made video. Thank you for your talents, and the pilots as well.
Wow! Skilled piloting right there! ❤️ Thank you for a safe and enjoyable flight. Top Pilots 👍☕🍰 Amazing airport.
Captain ten Velde and his first officer Vat gave a very nice and professional impression while landing that huge aircraft on that small runway. I would feel very safe to fly with Captain ten Velde and his crew.
Beautiful seeing professionals at work
Ha! Great video guys. I love your channel! Groetjes :)
Mascaralicious Thank you for your kind words! Did you also see our other Cockpit Tales videos?
Happy 100th birthday KLM on October 7th. It was a fantastic site to see the 747-400 touching down at SXM in person. We will never forget it!
Talented, friendly and professional airline, staff and crew. Exceedingly skilled at landing in difficult scenarios! Bravo KLM pilots..
Toen ik met PH- BXB naar Birmingham ging, was het echt serieus de beste vlucht van mijn leven. Ga zo door KLM! :D
I would trust a Dutchman to steer me through any rough sea or rough air.
+Hiei2k7 You wouldn't thrust a Flying Dutchman gost, you would run away from his image like a rocket LOL. Joke, I love Amsterdam & anything else Dutch, especially lovely women.
+pjero marinov You're Russian ?
+pjero marinov Somehow I found that quite offensive.. Think about creatures feelings next time
Well I apologize sincerely to you or anyone else I might have uncarefully offended. Was just trying to be funny, obviously not successfully. Sorry pal
I love the video... watched it before but I had to watch it again...
Sesualida
These pilots are so damn cool.
Psé os cara é muito bom...
So sad to see her go.
Love the 747 it's the queen of the skies
Maximln Musttermann A380 is king
Maximln Musttermann AirBus !
All planes are queens of the sky🛩🛩
King A380 and queen B747
Loop loop
Beautiful jumbo 💕 I just love pilots huge respect for them
Very exciting.....😀😁
Happy 100th anniversary KLM!
Since when is Harrison Ford a pilot at KLM?
Irony here: Harrison Ford actually is a pilot in real life
and survived a crash 2 two years ago
yeah The Millennium Fuck Up
He has his own ship
That's not Harission Ford
I think I would feel pretty safe flying with these guys and their planes!
I love this video. I flew this route twice but both times were on MD-11 aircraft. What a great experience.
I love KLM planes and service.
I consoderate one of the best air lines in the world.
05:02 I took my eye off for a second & when I looked back I'm thinking Whoooaaaaah gotta brake GOTTA BRAKE! Don't do that random video speed-up please! 😂
lol
Well, it would be kind of boring to watch them taxi to the end of the runway, do a 180 and taxi to the gate. Exciting part was over.
4:38 I worry more than when I got married ...
4:46 I feel happier than before ....
6:00 I literally melt melt ...
* * *
Great Airline KLM !
Great attracts !
My deep respect !
The coolest airplane and the coolest airport in the world - I love SXM and the whole island! Great video! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
What a well flown approach and landing. The big Lady makes it look easy. That giant Boeing in the hands of a good pilot is a work of art. Magnificent.
As always, excellent video! The places KLM flys and their crew are amazing.
+Owen Koenig Thank you, Owen!
What about Tenerife? The Dutch guy killed hundreds
beautiful
Respect to the pilots of all times, who, in addition to knowledge, also possess a brave attitude in their daily work, while being responsible for a crowd of people. Thanks for nice video. ✌️👑👼🌹❤️
The best job in the world without doubt! Thanks for sharing 👍😃
This is so cool, the 747 flying over the beach in St. Maarten/ We were on a cruise and got to see 3 jets (1 747) blast the beach goers ! It's very cool !!
+Ramos Miller Wow, that sounds good Ramos. Did you enjoy the cruise?
Yes we loved it KLM. I sure hope KLM continues to use the wonderful 747-400 and or 747-8.
Ramos Miller apparently they're not going to fly them there anymore
Long live the Queen of the skies
PAN AM FOREVER❤️❤️MY DAD WAS A PURSER MANY YEARS
Piloten van onze noorderburen leveren hier zeer puik werk! Knap gedaan mannen! 💪🏻
That is a beautiful thing. The amount of technology and. The expertise of these pilots are second to none. The most critical points is takeoffs and landings. These men and women make it look so easy and we thank them for their dedication.
Spectacular airplane and pilots, love the music,great for modelling in the fashion show.
same
I've flown once with KLM, from jakarta to Amsterdam, nice aircraft n one of the outstanding crew service i've ever experience, i definitely will like to fly with KLM again if possible
I had a KLM 747 poster when I was a little kid, around 72 or 73. My favorite plane. One day I will travel in one with your airline. ❤️
I've never had the pleasure of flying on a 747, but sure hope to before they're all retired. Such a awesome and majestic aircraft!
Not as A380
KLM one of the safest and most professional airline I have ever flown on and I am in Canada lollll
Louis Gregoire um, its the worst actually,
@@lucaspuillet4878 You're stupid
TimDaOne oh yeah yeah
Minoute lmao not true

It's like flying to Paradise. So beautiful. Great video.
I love watching such beautiful scenery so close below going by, and spending a vacation at such a lovely place does sound really nice. Perhaps one day...
Shut up

I love these big jumble plane it feels like you're in mansion in the sky! 👌 😎

*What an amazing island. Same for you guys; really nice work!!*
Thanks, God you had a safe trip.
How on earth does that huge thing manage to go airbone. Amazing
Enough horsepower could make your house fly
Yup...horsepower, 148mph forward speed with big flaps up.
Old time NASCAR cars would fly away if they had wings
A380: am I nothing to you?
Thank you for keeping the Queen in the skies
Javier Vazquez they don’t anymore they don’t come here anymore
