Looks like someone aced their "Turns Around a Point" portion of their private pilot's license exam.

If that were their vertical flight path it'd be much more impressive.  ;)

I would have guessed a photo flight.  But a Shorts isn't exactly the best ground photo plane.  And I don't think Night Cargo does photo flights.

Maybe that's why they called themselves "Night Cargo."  There's a mystery behind it...  :lol:
