all of which reminds me of the time I was flying the final approach to Annapolis in a Piper Cruiser, into a 20 mph headwind.

A hotshot Navy pilot, probably most adept at carrier landings, got impatient and cut in front of me! (OK, the road traffic was overtaking as well, but he was quite rude!)

I was at the time flying with a local instructor. It gave us a certain amount of satisfaction to watch that Navy Warrior land fast and firmly on that short runway.... as his undercarriage was not up to Navy standards, and his wheels gave way.
We had to go round until they dragged the poor Warrior out of the way.
