It's not just students under instruction. At Barton many experienced PPLs fly bomber circuits. It makes me cringe as I follow them downwind for the 27s, way past the M60, on out over the rooftops of Eccles, almost to Salford before they turn base, then dragging it in with power down a 2-mile (or more!) final. There is nowhere to go if the engine fails - why do they do it? Don't they THINK!!! about what they are doing??
