Apologies for being picky, but a Jumbo Jet is usually a 747, which tends to have 4 engines =] The proper aircraft kinda looks like a Hercules too, camo and everything. “As one unsuspecting propeller plane begins its take-off, it seems completely unaware that a large jumbo jet is hurtling towards it, also ready to leave the ground.”

I guess it's everydays business on airports with only one runway.
