<p class=MsoNormal>That I would agree with. It's like watching a plane fly a
simple loop, vs. watching the same loop with an explanation of downgrades like,
wings not level, entry and exit altitude changes, and overall roundness. It's
that understanding that increases the respect and interest in said maneuver.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>That fact notwithstanding, pattern still is not a big
spectator sport. It just takes a special sort of person to appreciate it. Most
people have the same response my nephew has... Whatever...<br>
