"Why are the Legacy guys zooming down final?"

Answer: The same reason we're planting Lancairs at an amazing rate. Unprofessional flying. Lack of willingness to even meet private pilot standards. High performance airplanes -- low performance pilots.

I was reading about all these high speed approaches and did some  looking.
Lancair advertises the Legacy dirty stall at 67 mph.   Convert to knots, 1.3 x
VSO and you get a 76 knot approach speed.  The ES  dirty stall is 65 mph, for
a 74 knot final approach speed.

I fly my ES at 80 down final without too much float, more that I got with  my
Mooney though.  Why are the Legacy guys zooming down final?
