Air Atlanta (Travel City) into SFB 23rd July

I've just returned from my hols in Orlando. We travelled with Air Atlanta from MAN flight EUK 134, which was great , no complaints. What I did feel may have been somewhat unusual was the approach into SFB. I'm not sure which was the active on that day, but sitting on the port side of the aircraft i saw the airfield out of the window to my left, and was expecting a somewhat longer downwind leg than that which we made. A very sharp left turn followed by an even steeper desecnding turn to line up/establish. It all seem very rushed, and after a short steep approach we landed, and used the full lenght of runway with what I suspected was max braking.

Btw wx was good , dry with good viz.

I realise that there could be many reasons, but is this the standard app into SFB.

Not complaining at all , merely curious.
