Ah yes, good 'ole big airways to Phoenix.
They pass over my house nearly every day.
One day, in my private aeroplane approaching the PHX area, I find I'm passing the BA B747, as he is restriced to 160 knots.
The approach controller gives my aircraft as traffic to BA, and BA replies...he must have takeoff power on that thing.
No, not takeoff power, just cruise power, descending rapidly...speed 220 indicated.
