I do love this video. That being said, we have a slew of NIMBYs at my airport, so our pattern is nonstandard and giant on one side. Practically twice the size of a normal pattern.

Why not change to a right pattern? The airport manager can submit that to the FAA.
Nonstandard and giant on one side and the size of a normal pattern on the other side? Does your airport have left and right traffic to the same runway?
Yup, that's right. We have left traffic to both 11 and 29. On 29 we fly a 1.5 mile wide pattern. It's actually a little funky on 11 as well, because we slide to the left to follow Rt. 50 on climbout (NIMBYs again), and it's far enough over that instead of turning crosswind and then downwind, we (well, I and a number of others) just do one 180-degree turn.
What does nimby stand for?
