    Looks like the video was shot from the left seat. At first I thought it was the jump seat rider-I never had a very good camera.The 737 is a nice airplane. It reminded me of driving a little airborne Porsche. It is a fairly easy airplane to land. The only hard landing that I remember was my last landing in the airplane before I moved to a larger aircraft. I insulted a very fine aircraft. The runway at MBJ is a little rough, but it seems rougher than it really is because most pilots want to make sure that they make the turnoff at the high speed taxiway about three quarters of the way down runway 07 if you are landing to the east so they use a little more reverse and get on the brakes a little more than usual which causes a little bit of a bouncy ride. Otherwise you have to taxi to the end of the runway to exit and taxi back. Perhaps some day, they will add a parallel runway.It is very difficult to resurface the runway if you have to use it every day. They have to work on a section at a time during the night and early morning hours. MBJ was once a US Navy base. Not bad duty during WWII . Nice video!
