Turnaround in pattern started in 1984 in F3A. It didn't migrate to all the AMA classes until much later. But airplanes like the Aurora, Jekyll, Beetle, etc, were designed for turnaround in F3A. Just wanted to clear that up. Personally, I believe ''Classic'' pattern should be one maneuver per pass.
Thank you Tony !
"1984"
I remember it like it was yesterday!
It was the winter of 83 that I found out that the 1984 season would be the beginning of the turnaround format,
which was the end of pattern for me !
You can’t rewrite history!
