Airplane acrobatics


A walking tour of Gustavia. We see all the stone, brick and wood shingle evidence of its Swedish past. But the most exiting "exhibit" is the runway. The small airplanes using this short strip come around and between some hills before diving down to the runway. Then stopping just short of the bluegreen waters at the far end. If you go up to the round-about (circle) just west of the center of town you'll be about level with the landing planes. On this Easter Monday they seemed to land about every 5, 10 minutes.
