Practiced the low show today at 500 feet with a 15 knot crosswind and the box felt about half its usual size. The airplane was fine. The airplane is always fine. What you are actually practicing is being honest with yourself about a bad line instead of chasing it back.

500 feet and a crosswind is my entire job description except mine involves a 40 foot banner and zero applause

You are doing precision low level work for an audience that reads it instead of watching it. Same skill, worse feedback loop.
