    thats a lovely view but for corrections, is that really 3000 feet? looks like pretty much 8000 feet.

    Pretty interesting view of Melville Hall from another angle.

    Hmm I wonder – Was the picture taken from a LIAT (or another airline) flying over Dominica’s north-east coast on its way to another island or was this from a flight preparing to land at Melville Hall?

    I travelled through this airport in 1973,74,75 and the last time 1976.I still have in remembrance, when the plane was landing, I thought it was crashing. I prayed loudly, mightily and with all my strength, my head between my knees. I am sure the pilot heard me.The taxi driver told me, when leaving the plane, I was dancing and spoke to them very loudly. I have great compassion to people who has lost their mind because I know better.Although I had lost mine only a few minutes from fear. It was in 1974, that year there were a few plane crashes around the world.
