Nice to have the circuit to yourself when the weather crap and can fly 600 foot oval circuits and get 10-12 landings in.
Of course the military usually operate one type for ab-initio.
Our circuit now can consist of one of each, flexwing, gyro, Cessna various, Piper various, makes for an interesting circuit.
And helis both left and right of runway.

Reminds me of the interesting afternoon at Barkston Heath.
Mil chopper pilots bust through the circuit.
Instructor in the instructor crew room moaning who taught those guys.
20 minutes later they appeared in the room asking if their old instructors were still there.
You couldn't make it up!
