I love these stories. I like the 7 engine approach one best. I was once on a transatlantic flight and there must have been a big queue since we slowed down more and more and finally made our approach. We were going SLOW. Cars on the road along side the airport were passing us ;-). They kept extending the flaps until I thought they would fall off. So I listened to the cockpit over the radio and heard the tower: "Er, can you guys slow it down a bit more?" Pilot (in a slightly amazed voice) "Er how much slower?" "Maybe another 15 knots?" "er Sure." I've never heard such a cheer when we finally touched the runway.
