I don't understand this one. He's 2 miles behind you and slower. What
possible problem could there have been? Why not just continue your pattern
and land normally?

I also don't understand what you mean when you say you had already turned
base, but then elected to extend downwind.

I guess I was taught to exit the runway as expeditiously as possible at
uncontrolled fields

Controlled ones too.

and also that planes on base or closer to the airport
had the right of way.

In what way did the guy on 3 mile final violate this?
