Nothing worse than circling at low throttle flying on fumes waiting to run out of fuel while the runway is clogged
with dead sticked/wheel less/burning models.
Always have a plan B... that means circling at a altitude that allow you to glide and land with the wheels up in a appropiate spot out of the runway, away from people, pilots, callers,etc. Anyway, having fun is paramount in this meetings, donīt bother on worrying taking your bird back with some scratches, charrs, or even worse. Jets are meant to be flown, and not sitting in a hangar just because they look pretty. :-)
