AT West Palm Beach one evening....Approach asked a 727 to increase speed on final as he had a Helicopter overtaking him.
The Airline Pilot said he would add ten knots......two minutes later he was asked if he could speed up a bit more.....and when the Controller again said it was because a Helicopter was overtaking him......he asked "What the hell kind of a helicopter is it?"
I chimed in and said ....." A very fast one!"
We were smoking down the chute at Vne.
Flying brand new 76's at the factory had its perks!
