Well, I agree everyone should practice slow flight but there are still =
problems at the slower speed.  In a Legacy, at 90 kts., even with full =
flaps, the nose is high and there is restricted forward visability.  Not =
the right configuration if you are trying as best you can to spot and =
avoid other airplanes and trying to figure out a complex arrival =
pattern.  Best case, you are likely to go low just to keep the rest of =
the traffic in sight.  At less than 90 kts., it quckly becomes marginal =
and, as noted, there is no way to be confident that 90 kts. will be =
maintained.  I have not gone into OSH but I did go into Arlington at 90 =
kts. (mercifully behind a string of 172s that actually flew the =
procedure.)  If I go to OSH, it will be in the high pattern.

Even though the MAX/MIN speed limit is 135 Kts (or 90), remember that =
some idiots think that they should fly at their slowest speed possible, =
so be prepared to fly behind them.  I have gone behind (for a while) a =
Piper Cub that thought 65 Kts was just fine and, at the higher altitude, =
behind two twins that were hanging on Vmc"
