As Timelord states, A 67 wing approach was flown at high speed and AoA. The approach speed was sometimes only 3 kts below the Max Gear Lowering speed. On approach the aircraft nose was so high that some found it difficult to see the runway unless they motored the seat right up. The approaches were even move interesting when flown from the back seat!
