Default Get Over It !!

WOW! HOLY COW! If I didn't have an opinion I'd have stopped reading a long time ago....

No one seems to have mentioned what *I* perceive as the real problem. And I don't think it is hovering, torque rolling or the like. The real problem is when that is essentially ALL one's flight consists of. The respect and courtesy thing goes BOTH ways. I have been to fly-ins where there are 4 pilot's stations and all it takes is 1 pilot with his 40% cheeseburger plane doing hover/torque roll/waterfall/harrier on EVERY pass to make flying a regular pattern with ANY other type of plane a pain! The fact is, I would LOVE to be able to torque roll and hover. I can't and marvel at those who can. But when that's ALL you do in your flight, it's MUCHO ANNOYING and DISCOURTEOUS to ALL other pilots in the air. Most every ship capable of this is a GS somethingorother with a big engine and prop. Hovering over the runway means HIS engine din drowns out all others. What I am saying here is if you are the ONLY one in the air, go for it! If there are others in the air and they are not flying the same pattern you are, have some courtesy and give THEM the runway too....
