Fullwings I take it you mean the speed downwind would be 115 indicated? The radar track on Blancolirio's YouTube channel shows the Cirrus doing 160 on base and the Metroliner doing 110 on final. The wind on the ground was light and variable, which does not preclude something much higher at a thousand feet, but makes it less likely. I don't know how much Cirrus experience you have, but this would not be the way I would want to fly a visual circuit in one, and that is before they overshot the final turn. By the way Capn Bloggs the bit you attributed to me about passing traffic information on was actually by ATC Watcher.
