Was out doing some instrument training today. Controller vectored us onto a 12nm ILS. Our groundspeed, in a Beech Duchess, was 60kt.

No real problem - but a few miles later, when a Cessna Citation reported downwind in the visual circuit, and the controller initially told him he'd be number two to the Duchess on a 6nm final, I was a little skeptical. Sure enough, the controller changed his mind, and turned the Citation inside of us. He was down, taxied in and shut down before we crossed the threshold!
