Did a 50 min MEL 27 to SYD 34L in a 767 to beat curfew one evening. It needed some ATC assistance - right turn off 27 direct to base 34L - and a flat-out cruise at FL280. Of course there were no company speed restrictions in those days.
Landed at 3 minutes to 11.
the Electra could maintain >250 kts until pretty close to the runway, whereas the 727 had to start slowing down way out
Used to have some fun racing the 727's into Alice in a Conquest. Alice tower was once queried as to why the Conquest was getting priority from 30 miles one day.
Rosco in the tower replied " 'cause he can maintain 250kts to 3 miles and then get off at the first taxiway. You can't."
"Fair enough" came the reply.
