What about this for a close approach

Amazing photo or what?
From the UK Daily Mail
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/liv...n_page_id=1811 What is the "special licence" refered to?

Clearing the vehicles below by the narrowest of margins, a plane swoops in to land at one of the world's most dramatic airstrips.


Although the clearance is supposed to be 20ft, the scooter riders and car driver take no chances and duck for their own safety.


Pilots need a special licence to land at the strip on the island of Saint-Barthélemy, or St Barts, in the French West Indies.
