I always got a kick out of parallel approaches/landings, especially at airports with very close parallel runways (e.g., SFO, STL). It was a bit unnerving to see another aircraft that close as we approached the runway. The Lockheed JetStars that I flew had very high approach speeds (130-140 knots Vref) for their size, often higher than many airliners. We got more than a few remarks from controllers and other pilots as we caught up to and sometimes passed other aircraft.
