There are many beautiful beaches, but I can't help but worry about the next arrival flight. There is a port where a large cruiser (3000 seat) is anchored, but I am not interested in cruising at all. Even if you take care of your wheelchair, you will probably plan yourself and travel to somewhere in the world. The wind is strong today and the sand on the beach soars. Looking back, I returned to the hotel early.

Stay for a week on a solo trip from England. By chance, a cameraman next to two rooms in the same hotel. Room service tableware is always available outside the room. I can't understand this feeling. No large aircraft arrived in the morning. I drove around the Island, but there is no better place to go than an airplane.

A wonderful drama makes you sweat. Caribbean Sea, big waves, roaring roar. Performers come from all over the world. The stage is the blue sea. This alone was worth coming to this Island. If I thought that no one would come just for this shoot, I would call a friend. There was a person who was better than me.

A high-pitched metallic sound is approaching. "Come" Ready to shoot. Kotetsu! I'll ask for a luggage guard. Switch on. Start shooting video. Great answer with a wide-angle lens. The roaring sound is deafening and pleasant. Land on the runway after passing overhead. A momentary drama, 10 seconds in the meantime.

February 4th Jumbo Air France. Next is American Air 737. I feel the difference in power that even small aircraft do not look at even if they fly. The sound of a bell announcing the arrival of a jumbo plane. It seems that an Air France jumbo jet has arrived. I still can't see it in the video.
