I have heard a story of a charity fund-raising drag race between
a Malmo Aviation BAe 146 and a Ferrari (both owned by same Swedish tycoon)
at an airstrip in Sweden. The lightly loaded 146 won.(!)
But it then blew all the fuses/tires braking to a halt and was out
of service for the next day or two. B^) B^(
