haha, I hear ya on stressful touch and go's. I used to always love to fly up to Stewart NY and do them there until one day me and my friend Jeff were going in circles when over the radio we heard three pilots come on saying they wanted to do some t-n-g's as well. We were like 'ok, no big deal, it's an 11k foot runway, we can all stay in the patern' yea, until we saw what they were flying. Three Marine F/A-18 Hornets showed up and wanted to do some practicing with us. The tower would have none of that as my tiny ass Piper Warrior's top speed was slower than the F-18's stall speed. Needless to say I got stuck doing endless 360's to the south while the fighters got to go around a few times. It wasn't all bad though, we got to watch three F-18's fly around at 1000' AGL. That's a perspective you don't see everyday.
