Nothing major, just doing my bit. APX 15:00 HRS 29/04/06. Inbound Thompson 767 EGKK? - PFO RWY 11 Cyprus. Go Around due to poor weather.
As the hot days near a end, the mist sets in from the sea. I heard a loud noise from an aircraft coming directly over the top of me flying out of the mist over the land. After flying over me, and the hotels on the beach the 767 banks hard stard and increased engine frust, wheels already down at this point. Tries to reline the aircraft up with the now visable runway as the a/c is down low enough out of the mist. Lots of thruttle play during this time, increase, decrease, the a/c was also all over the place, left right, right left and so on, abords take off, turns right, climbs for a go around, takes a very short final, comes in very low, and went out of my visable range and I take it made a safe landing.
Why do they never use the ILS at PFO? I've never heard an ils app on the scanner, always cleared for a visual app.
Attached a picture: Yellow is the normal app into PFO. Red is the 767 today.
