I flew to Oshkosh in formation with a Cozy from Midland a number of
times. One time we were turning final for 36 together which is where I
put the gear down for that one. It looked like I had put on the
brakes. I think his touch down speed was about equal to my over the
fence speed. It may not have been quite that high but it sure seemed
like it and he easily used twice the runway I did.<:-))
