I saw an private Aztec ground loop toward the beach end of the runway once. He wasn't on the strip at the halfway markings but tried anyway. I went down to discover 2 things: 1. The Aztec was all messed up, and it was his 2nd wreck there. 2. If you go to an accident, don't be the only one wearing a pilot uniform as spectators tend to point at you.
Also, a friend saw a 402 land so hard the tips of all the prop blades were curled back. It must have been the owner as he banged them back with a hammer before returning to St. Thomas with 10 souls. Gulp.
