Fighter pilots are not stupid, but, they occasionally may be
disoriented. At least AF pilots can always orient themselves by the
base runway--for the poor nasal radiators the runway keeps moving and
turning.

It's a test -- can we stay oriented while the runway's moving in circles?

Why does that conjure up an image of a base turn that never reaches
final?
