Firstly a Massive Thankyou for 15,000 subscribers!
Even though it’s hard to upload nowadays I appreciate everyone that watches my videos from over the 5 years I’ve been doing this :)

This video features the famous Skiathos airport. Which includes a high risk visual approach and landing over water and across a busy road at the threshold of the runway with aircraft coming just metres from your head on arrival to runway 01 and also with departures being breathtakingly close to spectators! The entire approach and runway is visible from this well known spot at the end of the runway.

This airport is commonly referred to as the European St Maarten. But having been to both I would suggest that no airport is like Skiathos in terms of how close you can get to the runway action. So in my eyes this airport is the ultimate location for low landings and Jetblast departures!

Throughout the video I move around the runway end to slightly different positions and perspectives. All of these ones are walking distance and reachable within 30 minutes. A car may be needed for more of the higher locations


Filmed freehand using a 4K Sony AX53 video camera.

This is a marathon video. I love skiathos and it deserves to be a full watch instead of split into parts
I appreciate it may be too long for some people to watch!

[Disclaimer] Nobody in this video was seriously injured during the JetBlast however it has been known to happen due to people underestimating the serious power and danger of jet engines, this is done at your own risk and can be enjoyed safely within limits.
