A few years ago while on holiday I managed to charter a C172 for an hour or so. The flying was excellent and the views stunning. Trying to get back in was an absolute pig. It was changeover day and there were lots of arrivals and departures. We continually had to hold and break-off our approach. Just when we thought we would get in another a/c would be handed over. We were finally cleared for approach and told to keep our speed up. When we were about 4 miles out an Air2000 757 was handed over to approach/tower. The controller asked him to slow as much as possible and he kept asking us both for our DME. He was getting closer and closer and we fully expected to be told to break-off our approach. Incredibly the controller told the 757 to make a 360deg orbit to allow us to land!! The 757 Capt was NOT amused. God knows what the passengers thought was happening when the plane suddently banked about 2000ft above the sea!
I think we crossed the threshold at about 120kt and pulled the power right back for a flapless landing. By the time we had slowed sufficiently we were about halfway down the runway!
