BEags, we can get our own back you know.
Many years ago I was flying a Gazelle into Scampton (when CFS were there), and joined for a PAR. Lotsa JPs in the radar circuit so ATC came out to one of them with "..I'll probably have to orbit you as you're number 3 in the pattern behind a ....[theatrical sigh] ... helicopter..."
Teeters grows horns and turns up the wick on the plastic chicken leg, in order to go down the slope at about 165 ...
"Gazelle c/s, please reduce speed ..... you're catching the JP in front of you"
