The description said something about exiting out the back, then flying
through the gaggles in the start cylinder. I don't understand this
because if you did this then by definition you pass through the start
cylinder again and then have a restart on the 2nd exit right?


On a strong day the pre-start gaggles may be much higher than the
maximum start height. It would in theory be possible to exit the
rear, perhaps by climbing through the top adjacent to the rear of the
cylinder then bump pre-start gaggles for approx 10 miles without
descending into the top of the cylinder.
