Tongue only partly in cheek I'm afraid... your post was undoubtedly well-intentioned, but if read in a certain way could easily describe an example of indisciplined flying. As there is less than a year of GR4 flying left, I should think the chain of command is poised to come down like a ton of bricks on any "last trip" type shenanigans. I would be, anyway! So it is probably not a great idea to create an impression that you've seen some and you want to see some more. "200 feet", "reheat" and especially "twinkle roll" are words guaranteed to draw the wrong kind of attention.

PS full and free movement is checked on the ground. It tends to cause overstress or departure from controlled flight if tried in the air; there's no such thing as carefree handling in a GR4
