Another one pretty famous.
Story took place at ORY. An Egyptair 747-300 was arriving from NYC. In fact before finally landing to ORY, the 747 carried out an involuntary touch and go at Bretigny, an airforce base nearby !
Suddenly aware of his mistake when the aircraft had touched down, the captain put on the throttles to get airborne again.
Somebody told me he later changed his name and resorted to some plastic surgery to keep flying.
