What class of aircraft are you landing at Saba?
Looks neat and clean and, well, short.
Winair is the only airline flying there with Twin Otters.
The strip is approx. 200 m long with no possibility to extend. Before a rock
outcrop was blasted away the aircraft had to approach in a lefthand curve
too.
In reasonable weather there is no problem. The planes have approx. 25 m to
spare.
You can buy T-shirts on Saba: "I survived the Saba landing".

Herman
