While flying back to my home airport, KAVQ, I heard this exchange from two pilots entering the non-towered airport airspace:
Cherokee: Cherokee 1234 entering left downwind for runway 12, full stop.
A Grumman Tiger pilot was also entering left downwind making a similar call.
Cherokee pilot: Grumman aircraft, we will swing wide since you are faster to allow you to land first.
Grumman pilot: No problem, I’m retired. Grumman number two to land behind the Cherokee.
And so they did.
