Anyone notice the EasyJet circling Teesside yesterday ?

Here’s its flightpath. Is it my lurid mind or do you think it has a bit of a phallic semblance ?

Isn't Tees-side airport (sic) used for training flights from time to time? Something to do with the quietness and long runway.

On a serious note I figured that’s what it was . I wonder whether the instructors dictated the rookie flightpath to show them for a laugh after they landed ! 😎

See them regularly flying over Teesside, as said it's used for pilot training. Did seem to be flying lower than normal though yesterday.
 
Ironic or just coincidence that this was happening on the day Ryanair returned to Teesside Airport. I wonder how much the Airport makes from Easyjet for the privilege.
 
I was driving along Durham Back Lane in Eaglescliffe heading towards the A66 as it was turning towards the Airport. Always amazes me how big they look and how slow they appear to be flying. Still marvel how they stay up in the air.

Edit.

Then I googled this;
L = (1/2) d v2 s CL

I agree with this, it just looks like witchcraft. I get a good view of the approach flight path from my back garden. I'm loving the resurgence of the airport as I can admire several planes an hour fly past, instead of three a day as it's been up until quite recently.

Easyjet for one use Teesside to get their pilots flights hours up to the required standard, although I guess that was because it was so underused in recent times.
 
The airport's redevelopment is just typical. I travelled from there weekly for 14 months then monthly for a further 24 months and the place was embarrassingly bad.
 
Used to do it all the time in the 70's

There was a DAN-AIR Comet
British Midland Viscount
and
British Midland Vanguard
Occasionally a BAC 1-11
 
Flew a few times with FRA/COBHAN/DRAKEN or to make it simple them little Blue jets (Dassault 20's) full of electronic gadgetry.
