I did a 360 once in the pattern at a class D airport.
That's why I contend that Class D stands for "D'oh!", and is the most
dangerous airspace in America.
I'll take an uncontrolled airport over non-radar Class D, any day of
the week.

I have been to many fine class D airports. I would take most over the
uncontrolled fields I have been. Cowboys for sure at the uncontrolled
airport near me. I was put on a waiting list at KFRG - glad I decided
to skip that. It is too busy - busier than the class c near here and
the controllers are rude. Then went to KHWV - that is a dangerous place
to fly - non-towered - insane amounts of scary piloting there and I am
finally at KISP - class C. I like it. Very professional people. Itis
nice to have radar services as the default and good for IFR flights
instead of going non towered.
I was at KPHF - that was a great class D.
