As a followup posting to my "Why fly fast approaches?", I have an idea
for some evening entertainment.
Does anyone have an old police radar gun?
If Jay parks in the same area as last year, we can "grade" each
approach of arrivals based on their aircraft type and approach speed.
If someone brings a laptop, we can create a spreadsheet and develop
some realworld statistics about pilots and their approach speeds.

It would be great fun, but I gotta think that the controllers urging people
to keep the speed up, and whatnot, may make the data meaningless.

One thing I've got to say,: Everyone that flys in, remember, if you are told
to do a 360 for spacing, or go around, or whatever, remember to FLY THE
PLANE! Past years sometimes involve the *low stall spin* fatalities.
