 I'm an Air Force Air Traffic Controller and am currently working in 
 Okinawa, Japan.  We have F-15's here at Kadena and it is not uncommon 
 for them to come back well above 400 Kts below 10,000.  We usually 
 only worry about slowing them down if they are being sequenced to 
 follow another aircraft.  Close to final, they will usually slow 
 themselves to 250 Kts or slower unless told otherwise. 
 
I've heard that F-15's and Mig-29's are pigs below 400 knots :-) 
The AOA is probably in the teens by 250 knots...
