John Tulla - I used to (try to) do the same thing in the Dizzy 9.....pull out the
slats at 280kt - drop the gear - then flaps - all with full speed brake - but I'd
have to be much lower than 30 grand at 5 miles. The bestest I ever done was
into LST 31,000 at 30 DME on a DME Arr in TJJ for R14. Them 4 NTS'ing Dowty
Rotes musta gave more drag than 2 idling JT8D blowies.
We were leather-jacket petrolheads on the 9 fleet!
