Narrative:
To add to this situation, the next morning we taxied out for takeoff and were told to taxi to 30L. As we approached the end of the runway we noticed a small aircraft approaching for a landing on 30R. I stopped and the little airplane went over the top of us at about 75'. I stopped short so he wouldn't go directly over our tail. This is a dangerous situation as our proximity to the landing aircraft was too close. We should have been told to hold short of his approach path.
