This allows them to fly a
comfortable 300 KIAS on an approach in formation. Tim (former F-111 WSO) Are you talking 300 on approach to landing? That is a bit fast, no? -- Jonathan, www.virtual-hangar.com

Not for the overhead arrival, after the break the aircraft will be slowed to approach speed, around 150kts for the F-16. -John *You are nothing until you have flown a Douglas, Lockheed, Grumman or North American*

In VFR conditions, most go to the overhead pattern. For formation landings
and instrument work, straight-ins are the rule.
