I used to keep even with 757's on approach while on parallel runways, doing 120 kts on final in my cherokee. I could slip/ drop/ and skid that thing onto the ground at cruise speeds.

It's the only way to gain the trust of the tower and approach control.

Fly it like you stole it! Yep!

That's what my mechanic says about my car...drive it like you stole it. (I'm the little old lady).

So occasionally, I burn rubber...

Once landed a 152 and hopped off onto the first available taxiway (less than 500’)

The controller was anxiously instructing the commercial flight behind me to do some S-turns for clearance.

I think the next tower transmission was “Cessna 7154N, take first aval.......... Cessna 7154N, thank you, nice landing” followed buy a similar comment from the other pilot.
