Yes, OK, Idle Bystander. See if you can find a few display sequence diagrams and then superimpose them on a selection of airfields. As I mentioned before, Farnborough is an interesting and famous case. Either that or next time you go to an Airshow, have a look at what's underneath the manoeuvres.
Remember that the manoeuvre in question was performed where it was and in the orientation it was because of the requirement to fit between a number of avoidance areas. Without those this could have been a lot worse - or may not have happened at all.
There often isn't a lot of choice. Well, maybe one. But I don't believe that's called for.
