around at least once and still have enough fuel on board to divert, you have no business flying into LHI.
Clearly we are in the presence of an aviation legend. So you have got yourself boxed in low to the ground and can see jack yet you are going to attempt a go-around and try and outclimb hills you can't see?

Then you think that YHOT is equivalent? YHOT is on top of a hill, not surrounded by them. YHOT is also only a stones throw fuel wise to many other airports. Seeing as you bought YHOT up though it is a prime example of what can go wrong when dodgy visual approaches are used to somehow outsmart the system.
