There is another thread on this. (http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=86458)

FWIW, those were no Cessnas. The first one, which I didn't see, is described as a "commuter aircraft". I'm guessing a Fairchild or deHavilland turboprob. The second aircraft, which I did see, was a twin-engine jet; possibly a 737.
