DANGER...DANGER...DANGER....

This sign is on the side of the road right next to the airport and beach bar...

Our last day before we head for the airport we head to the Airport Beach Bar to get some shots of planes landing right over the beach. And a few final rum punches before we leave :).. This year I noticed this sign and took a few snaps... I found it funny the guard rail also needed some sort of warning :)

I wish I got closer to the sign to capture all the words but I think you can figure out the covered ones..

Hi Tricia, I notice it's a "MAN" that doesn't realize the extent of jet blast. Women know these kinds of things! LOL. I've seen such signs at our local airport too, but they are not this colorful, or amusing.

I also find it ironic that the guardrail is in need of repair. Perhaps they were trying to get a closer look at the sign!??

Nice details of the orange wind direction flag in the background, as well as the colorful sign. Glad you're keeping those eyes open for things others may miss!

COOL!! I wanna try it!! I'd get my hang glider in place, or even my motorcycle and BLAST off!! LOVE it!
B-)

Yes, it is clear to me Tricia, glad you had time for one rum pinch before departure - they never taste the same at home!
Funny & Sunny picture.

Have a nice Sunday,

hi tricia, yeah, duh! this is funny, thats like saying walking in the middle of the freeway is dangerous to your health!
seems ironic the guard rail is all bashed in, what do they have crappy pilots there? he-he,
tfs,
scott

LOL!!! The damage to the fence is the people being blasted by the jet??????
Lovely

Hello Tricia,

this is funny.. the warning sign is so long.. :D they should put it higher in my opinion.. hehe.. anyway good shot..

regards, terry

Hello Tricia,
Interesting to get some background for this much photographed place, hehehe!
Good documentary, but surprised they don't limit access if this is as dangerous as they indicate...
A fine documentary!
Greetings,
Pablo -

:-) OK-

:-) !
Excellent combination sign and those wrinkled bars ( sorry don't know English word for it )
The only, technically " but " :
if you look at the sign it's " sinking ", left goes first under. 3.
I would try to level it horizontaly.
Gives you, IMO, a more quit photo.
