I just finished reading Dick Karl's ode to Princess Juliana International Airport ["Eleven Minutes of Ecstasy," April]. He hit the nail right on the head! My wife and I returned from there two weeks ago, staying at the same resort and enjoying the same shared love of aviation with our friends and other visitors, including hundreds every day off the cruise ships. Most of those people probably wouldn't give a second look at an aircraft back home, and that's one of things that makes this place so special. We've been there 11 times in the last 16 years (though on the airlines, not a business jet!), and wish the good folks of St. Maarten all the best in their continued recovery from Hurricane Irma.
