Footage of a light aircraft taking off late at the very end of the runway in Gustavia, Saint Barthélemy.

The video shows the pilot "leaving it late" to take off and narrowly clearing the sea and beach ahead.

According to the filmer, the small landing strip is more known for "landing approaches, but sometimes you see pilots leaving it late to take off, with the plane just clearing the beach ahead."

Although the video was filmed in 2014, it has only recently emerged online.
