On the occasion of the Icelandic Silver Medalist Olympic team arriving in Iceland they were flown seperately from Keflavik to ReykjavÃk for a royal welcome celebration. TF-FIV was accompanied by two Coast Guard helicopters and DC-3, TF-NPK. The 757 captain got permission for a low approach to runway 19 and here is was must certainly be an Olympic record for low approaches by a 757 approximately 20 feet off the runway in this photo.
