Actually it's not crazy at all. It's been done in IMAC for several 
years now. The next pilot in line takes off and orbits well out of the 
box. This process when kept moving REALLY shortens the day. 

I've always thought the pattern sequences were too long too, but 
perhaps that comes from my IMAC background.
