OH Oh Oh! I know why they do that! Excuse me whilst i bore you with this.

The boeing 747 is a very heavy plane fully loaded, and st martins has a short runway. If the 747 was to take off normally, it would run out of runway. To stop this from happening, they taxi to the end of the runway and apply the parking brakes. After the brakes are applied, they bring the engine up to full RPM. When full RPM is reached, the brakes are released and the 747 accelerates at incredible speeds.

Sorry, just wanted to tell someone that.

I worked for FedEx for 3 years in college. I know how it feels to be behind an engine that powerful. But hey if it wasnt a nude beach it was after the plane took off.

Check this airstrip and beach out on Google Earth. That jet looks awfully large and out of scale to me. Dunno but i think there may be some trickery going on . . . .I could be wrong
