Like clockwork wide bodies would come in at 2:00pm, barely 50 ft. over our heads. And at night, it sounded like the crash scene from the first episode of LOST. When the big boys would line up for departure they would back so far that they would hang over the access road behind the runway and onto the beach. I actually took that very same picture and turned it into a mousepad, quite the conversation piece.
