It all depends on one's perspective. When I started as a flight instructor part of my job was to transition some local jet jockeys into light aircraft. Their experience ranged from F-102s, F-4s and a KC-135. They all got real twitchy when the airspeed got below about 130 knots. When the Air Guard's F-102s were retired they were issued O-2 Super Skymasters and it was a while for them to get used to flying an O-2 approach profile instead of an F-102 profile.
