Good grief! A new forum is created specifically to discuss Accidents and Close Calls and this thread with twice as many posts as any other has to do with circuit procedures!
I know it can be a difficult area at times but really, should not this thread be moved to Private Flying where it more properly belongs? I'm sure over there a preexisting thread could be found that this could be merged with.
I mean, same old same old, "the OHJ should be banned", "the OHJ should be standard", "the US 45° downwind join is best".
I'm going flying.
