Yesterday the Icelandic National Handball team back from the Olympics in Bejing.
And with the silver medal .
They landed in Reykjavik ,and two coast guard helicopters and a DC -3 - flew with the Boeing 757 formation over the city.
And the Boeing also fles low over the airport - before landing with the team.

30 - 40 thousand people where downtown and celebrated the team whne the eventually came downtown.

But the jet flew pretty low over the airport as you can see on my video.
You can here bystanders shout in disbelief as the jet flew low over the airport in Reykjavik
