I'll validate it. How about one of a warbird in disguise on the same approach from 2 weeks ago?

N99380 is an ex-USAF T-29B converted to a CV240-27 flying freight from San Juan into the US Virgin Islands and Princess Julianna.

And one of it's sister ship (a former USAF VT-29B) on (very) short approach into San Juan -

Please copy & paste the URL. Airliners.net still hasn't figured out that you can't put so many special characters in URLs and have them copy correctly into 99% of the forums in the world...

That first pic has a nice fast shutter speed on it- either that or the props ain't a moving!

Nice!

I love the photos from that beach. The 747s are more impressive though.

The other scenery is often nice too. :lol:

Probably a combination of both. They're probably only turning the props at 1500-2000RPM at that point as you usually don't carry power through the flare on a Convair like you might on some other propliners.
