 The neat thing about slipping is you can rapidly control your speed
 and your decent rate. The response is near instantaneous while
 electric flaps take awhile to move up and down. Another advantage
 is you can slip at a speed without regard to the safe flap extension
 speed.

Come in high and hot, slip to the numbers, scare the hell out of the
unwashed, exit at the first turnoff.
