I remember coming into BN in the F28 in the jump - and ATC advised for as much speed as long as possible. We were doing something like 300kts at about 8 dme(don't quote me but we were motoring, but the wind noise was biblical) - and the Captain pulls max speed brake, gear and flaps on the limits, and pissed it in. Turned around and said, try that in a 737. She was a cool machine. With the F28 and the 146 around at the time, they said it was a sports car vs a gravel truck.
