Who in the world would be low and slow and turning?
Glider pilots sometimes do when scratching for low down thermals especially in comps. Circling in a bumpy thermal at 2-300 feet is sometimes necessary to avoid a field landing. Of course the landing field is picked when below 2000 feet just in case the thermal doesn't work!
