After a sightseeing tour along the beach at St. Petersburg, Florida, joined the pattern at Albert Whitted Airport, and was on final approach for 36 - in a rented Cessna 172. Tower asked me nicely could I do an orbit for slow traffic that was ahead of me on approach; he mentioned there were two experimental aircraft flying in formation.
Sure enough, there they were, flapping along at about 30 knots. So I did a leisurely 360, giving them plenty of time to get out of the way. Straightened up again on approach, and ..... the little bogies had disappeared! where did they go to? should have been on the ground by now, I looked at 36, no, nobody there.....and then I looked to my right, and there they were, only this time they were on final on 27....
"Hey," I said to the Tower, "You've changed the runway!"
Tower replied "We wondered when you would notice....."
Love it. They are laid back in Dixie, that's for sure. Y'all go careful, now!
