I wonder if that one of those competition planes that race around a circle coarse marked by poles on the ground ?
Don't know what they call it, but it's cool to watch. I use to see it TV every now and then and always thought it was bad ***. They really put themselves through alot of G's in the turns. Also watching them jockey for position gets interesting. The pilots that fly them have a ton of skill no doubt.

The turbo's roll is double, pressurizes both the engine and the cockpit(10psi) for high altitude flying, something like 29,000 ft. and it cruises at 385 mph up there.

BTW im going to the Michigan Institute of Aviation and Technology.
