If I need to get on the ground that fast.. screw the "pattern" and taxi
time.. The descent will be planned to have me on final and "configured" for
landing.. I'll stop on the runway or turn off and shut down.. the trucks can
meet me there... screw "taxi"...

If you are directly over the airport you can land at, then follow the
emergency decent procedures for that plane (and they differ from plane
to plane) and come down about 2000 fpm (I really don't know, and it
would depend on the plane), but lets use that figure. Then it would
take 21 1/2 minutes to get down and maybe 1 1/2 minutes in the pattern
and 1 minute of taxi, so that is 23 minutes, assuming the airport is at
sealevel. That would be fast.
