....so my wife and I are flying in to KSGJ St. Augustine on the 30th... a couple of minutes after contacting the tower 8 miles out to enter the Delta airspace the controller asks..'345BT what is your indicated air speed?' I answered 62 knots. He laughed and said 345BT, See you tomorrow!'<br /><br />... no respect...

Funny. And then they sometimes they say: "Keep up your speed" . Don't you hate it too when ATC refers to you as an "Ultralight or something"?<!-- >'"><br><font color=red size=6>' or > missing in user HTML. Please fix the HTML.</font> -->

Just tell them you're peddling as fast as you can!

Actually, I've said that a time or two. The last time (I'm sorry to <br />say) I was flying my Archer with 20 kts on the nose.

I was flying into Stuart one day and reported a 5 mile final. The tower told a Cessna on downwind to <br />extend for traffic. I replied that the Cessna would be able to turn in front of me and so would the closed <br />traffic just turning crosswind.

Was on final in a 172 as a student (private pilot) at kelly AFB when Tower asked that I keep speed at <br />max for a pair of F-16s rapidly overtaking. Great, so now I'm a student hurrying a landing. It was the <br />widest, longest fricking runway I ever saw in my life. It took forever to cross the threshold. It looked like I <br />was already beneath the runway at 50 feet high when the 16s lit burners and overflew me at exactly <br />80000 knots. The instructor was grinning to himself until I put in full power and started to go around. He <br />took it and landed with about 50 miles of runway remaining.

That's funny Ken, I had about the same experience with a friend in a rented C152. We lost the engine due to carb ice over the 5K hills east of Santa Ana CA. We made it back out of the hills with the carb heat full out but no engine until we were lined up on these humongous runways at El Toro marine base. The base was closed earlier in the year but it didn't stop us from being greeted by these very big snorkel trucks. Of course my friend had a lot of paperwork to fill out since he rented the plane.

Not as wild as the others above, but years ago, on one of my first cross-country flights in my Archer in the LA Basin, I ventured to San Diego and was making a visual APC with a nervous wife and her near-panicked pilot when advised by the Tower to "Maintain best speed, you have a DC-9 3 miles in trail". I had to cruise to the numbers.<!-- >'"><br><font color=red size=6>' or > missing in user HTML. Please fix the HTML.</font> -->

In my Buc II I would get bird strikes from behind. I just couldn't outrun them.
