N634JB — - One of the stops that I was most excited about on our week-long Eastern Caribbean Cruise to San Juan, Puerto Rico, St. Maarten, and St. Kitts on the Celebrity Equinox (February 17-24, 2018), was St. Maarten.  The island, that was hit very badly during hurricane season last year, especially Irma (more pictures later) and this was only the second time since that storm that the Equinox has arrived at the port of Philipsburg, St. Maarten.  You can see the damage on some of the buildings near the beach. One of the experiences I wanted to capture was plane watching on Maho Beach as planes approached Princess Juliana Airport (SXM).  The beach is very narrow after the storm and with extensive damage to the airport, fewer flights are coming in.  While we saw many small planes, we did see a JetBlue A320 which was kinda cool.  The Delta flight supposedly arriving at 12:05 never made it or was delayed.  Wish we saw more - but when bird watching or plane watching - you see what you see.  Still the Maho Airplane Experience was a great excursion and I am glad I went.

Plenty of good photos of course from here and lucky you being able to be there, albeit a couple of years back. Great story to go with a great pic.
