The scariest part was the 757 overflying the terminal at about 100ft AGL and no one seems to notice. Distracted by the dolhpins I guess?

"The scariest part was the 757 overflying the terminal"

So a 757 is old? I think of them as being pretty new. Guess that's the way it is when the only turbine equipment you've flown is a Convair and a 727...
