Little more research shows that that's Toncontin Airport in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. Turns out it's pretty famous for its nasty-short approach.

There's also the famous Sunset Beach approach at Princess Juliana International in St. Maartin. I've flown in this way (in an a310 from San Juan PR, not one of the big 747s out of Paris/CDG) but never managed to go hang out on that beach. The bar on that beach has drink specials coinciding with big bird landings.
