----
Pick a runway: 2 ways
# of ways to assign 3 planes to that runway: 5C3 = 5C2 = 10 ways
Note: Every assignment of 3 to that runway assigns 2 planes to the other.
----
Each group of 3 planes can be arranged in 3P3 = 3! = 6 ways
Each group of 2 planes can be arranged in 2P2 = 2! = 2 ways
------
Total # of arrangements: 2*10*6*2 = 240 ways
