“Almost” is subjective. The plane was nowhere close.

Some of these Central American/Caribbean runways are short and one must use every last foot of them. Sounds to me like the captain new where he was going.

It’s not about the runway or the road.
It’s about the fence.

reminds me of when I was stationed at Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico. My quarters were on one side of the runway and my office on the other side. I would ride my bicycle around the perimeter road to get to and from work. The F-4s would be awfully close to the ground as they crossed the perimeter road. I soon learned that if the plane was on the downwind leg I could make it around the end of the runway before the plane got on the glide slope, but if the plane was already on the cross-wind leg, I'd better hold up and let it land.

Note the shadows of the two cars, and no similar shadow from the airplane. This says to me that the airplane is actually much further away than it seems in the picture. The airplane is likely on the downside of the hill in the picture, and much higher than it seems in the picture.
