Story One:
Working for a commuter airline in Texas during the 1980's. An old Braniff Airlines Captain for those of you who remember Braniff was employed as a commuter captain of a 19 seat aircraft. He was know for being kind of out their, if you know what I mean. During one fateful trip to an airport in Texas, he was making a VFR approach into the airport and about to configure to land and several miles out from the runway. The Tower comes on and tells the comuter pilot flight ABC to go around!
The X Braniff Captain gets on the radio not wanting to go around and proceeds to tell the tower the following. " I am going to fast to go around" and proceeds to land anyway! After landing you can imagine the tower was a little upset with his actions. His next radio call from the tower was you are cleared to parking and the captain is cleared to visit the tower immediately!
