Funny twist for any NHL fans. Its been rummered that Jaromir Jagr is about to sign a contract to play with the Penguins again (yuck) and evidently his plane was one of the planes delayed by these turtles.

I guess it's an annual migration. There's an audio clip on LiveATC from '06 of the same thing.

Reminds me of the iguanas in SJU. Get down to about 3' and go "Oh, crap!" Goose the power a bit and float over top of 'em.
