All the talk of slippy Hawks and 360kt breaks got me thinking of the 520kt break I did once in a Tornado, at the threshold and turning final in the correct place to boot. Max wingsweep, airbrakes, max AoA, draggy stores, and lots of flap when the wings did eventually come forward... shedding speed is something it definitely excelled at, and I bet plenty have done faster!
