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. 
Oh but there are - you just might not know about them. ABQ, SAV, FSM, FOE being a few examples. Now many of these civvie fields have a reserve componet located there.
Wait - rereading this post right now - did you mean civilians airplanes flying an overhead approach? If so....sorry for the misinterpetation.
