A large airplane always appears to be goig slower than it is, because
we tend to judge speed by how long it takes the tail to reach the
spot where the nose was.

Although in this case, it really is slow, with a max speed of just
100mph, and a cruise speed of around 75 mph. And it is big, much
bigger in real life then it seems in pictures.
