Landings at St. Barts - 7 commuter airplanes
If you generally admire a good landing here’s a short 4-minute rapid fire video of seven full-scale landings into St. Barts airport, located on a tiny eastern Caribbean island, Saint Barthélemy. From the direction shown landings are all downhill in the literal sense. There’s a stiff cross wind to boot. Approaches start at the 32 second point. The third approach is by a twin otter and it just doesn’t appear like it wants to come down without a fight. The fifth approach by a Pilatus PC-12 is the most “scary”; taking out road signs, bouncing off a truck top, parting the hill grass and then alighting like a butterfly.
The second 2-minute video is from inside a plane (Twin Otter, I think). You could start at the 1:30 point to speed things up.

OK, this is how to do it (as shown from a different angle). Yes, occasionally planes go off the end.

Recent ground collision at St. Barts.
The crash is vividly shown in the first 35 seconds of this 50-minute video. The rest of the video just shows the emergency actions and clearing away of the wreckage. Comments underneath the video are interesting regardng background information.
