I'm in UPT right now and I'd have to say that I have more fun in the pattern flying overheads than I do out in the area flying aerobatics. Getting upside down and pulling G's is cool and all, but nothing compares to yanking and banking in the pattern at 200kts and 1000AGL with 10 of your buddies.
There's a WHOLE LOT more going on in those circular patterns than you think Ray. It's too bad you can't fly overheads in the civlian world.
