Sorry Mike, I didn't mean to imply that all military types are involved, it's not the fighter types that tend to slow to less than 140 on final. You're pretty consistent. Its the trainers mostly that seem to have the widest speed variations. Personally, I wish ATC had the leeway to exempt people from the 250 knot rule. As it is, if you tell us you need more than 250, It's approved. Feel free to come visit in your 117 any time!
