Airplane Crossing the Street




We have heard about railway crossing or bus crossing or even ship crossing under the bridges. But have u ever heard about Aeroplane crossing ... ?

See the picture where the vehicles wait for the aeroplane to cross the road. This is in Germany where the runway crosses a road.





Princess Juliana International Airport.It is the second busiest airport in the Eastern Caribbean. The airport is famous for its short landing strip — only 2,180 metres/7,152 ft, which is barely enough for heavy jets. Because of this, the planes approach the island flying extremely low, right over Maho Beach. Countless photos of large jets flying at 10--20 m/30-60 ft over relaxing tourists at the beach have been dismissed as fakes many times, but are nevertheless real. For this reason as well it has become a favourite for planespotters. Despite the difficulties in approach, there has been no records of major aviation incidents at the airport.



And this is in Schiphol Airport, Amsterdam, Netherlands, where planes cross over a tunnel between terminals and runways :
