Yep did that on a flight from GLA, did circles over the water for a bit then flew straight over Dubia and did a few more circles over the sand. I was starting to wonder if they were going to re-fuel us mid air so we could stay up there a bit longer.
The kicker though was when we did get on the ground we all got on buses to do more circles (its funny now but not at the time).
