The Shop
Been there and waited and watched 'em come in
We saw a few 757's an Md80 or two and as soon as we got back to the ship an AF 340 took off...
$25 bucks for a beach chair..
Same as you
The big boys aren't until about 3:30-4:30, and we had to get back to the ship
SD can be tricky, it only has one complete instrument Landing System (out of two runways) so if the winds are above 5 to 10 knots and marginal ceilings it can force diverts.
I the past few years they installed an EMAS system at the end of the runway. It's concrete designed to break down under the weight of an airplane, slowing it down.
That parking garage and sloping terrain when you arrive form the East can be tough, I've spent a bunch of nights at the DoubleTree hotel right off the 5 (I think it used to be a Radisson) and you can really get a good view of what the airport looks like form the balconies, I think I have some pictures somewhere...
Long runways tho, that is definite positive for safety.

This is St Thomas' airport approach
It's a lot of responsibility that you guys deal with day in and day out.
