Seem to remember I had to extend downwind for commercial traffic. Seemed like an awful long way from the runway :-) I don't think any of the original aircraft are still there but I still have fond memories of the those PA-28s.
It really doesn't it - Especially when you turn base and you can only just make the runway out and they say it's 10km or more? Then you realise your just being silly and the runway is perfectly visable

I'm still in a high from the flight, I'm so excitable!

In fact, I would happily swap my Heathrow-Athens daytrip for a couple of hours of steep turns, PFL, stalling and circuits!
I'd love to swap, but I guess a Airbus is a little more complicated than a PA28
