I actually remember that from my T-38 ride at HMN years ago. When I was flying, (at 400+ kts) I just had to think bank to turn, but when we were on final at around 180 with the Major flying, I noticed the stick was moving all over the cockpit, 2-3" all directions.
As far as pissing us off, it's not the 300 kts/downwind that does it, it's the
"We'd like an ILS, fillowed by a localizer with a circle to the opposite direction, followed by a GPS, then a couple overheads, then I'd like to land and 'wheelie' half way down the runway and turn off slowly at the end while you send the Gulfstream around" that gets us.
Oh, and the "I'd like an IFR pickup to some obscure fix on an IR route you never heard of 100 miles away." is always popular too....
