Landing on Saba is like touching down on an aircraft carrier deck...but here if you don't stop you drop 600 feet into the sea below!

fabifliervoet...very true...most likely you can't do it today on Saba. This was done years ago...I didn't even ask...I just ran out and took the shot! Regards, ELR

No your not allowed to do this anymore, I wish we were. Many years ago we were once able to walk on the airport in the evening after the last flight for exercise. It used to be very fun! :)

Hey sabagirl25

Saba is a beautiful place...a jewel in the sea! But, landing on this runway is not for the faint of heart! Thanks for giving me some history. When we were there in '70s there were not many rules about anything! Other than "watch your step" climbing Mt. Scenery!

Best to you, SirFin in the USA
