According to the comments at the bottom of the page its Tegucigalpa, Honduras. Since its a mile above sea level it's really not low at all:D

Fixed.

If I remember correctly, at Toncontin just beyond the end of the runway is a cliff and a busy highway runs along the bottom of the cliff. In 1997 or 98 an american c-130 did something very wrong and rolled off of that cliff and crashed down onto the highway.
They used to have some old FAH planes rotting at that airport, f4u's and c47s and stuff.
-
At least they use runways:

KC135 Low Flyby (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5kLrXhx_LY)
Airbus or fighter jet? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQynfV9vaYA)
RV8 formation flyby (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGn_t9CLawQ)

The 757 is famously overpowered. A light one climbs like a fighter.
Here is what the RNZAF do with them at airshows. A friend saw it live at an airshow in England. He said he could not get his head around the idea of an airliner flying like that.
Not the best vid but a search will bring up more.

Got to remember those are fairly normal landings for here. Did you notice the runway is not flat, but drops from each end towards the center (think they do that on purpose).
Way to go for the guy that decided to build our airport in a turbulance ridden valley 30 degrees off the prevailing wind.
