...10,000 feet at 10 DME

similar to being held at 11000 to 10 on the Electra ... a couple of little S-turns on the way down and Bob's yer uncle .... the best was going northbound into SYD in the wee hours for a landing into the south. So long ago now I can't recall the max cruise (300 ?) but, being empty, that's where we were .. just for the exercise .. started descent abeam the airfield ... causing ATC great consternation .. and even ended up having to put power on from mid final .. but, then again, the Goose was a real aeroplane ..
