I have had the "pleasure" of two go arounds. Both times with Ryanair going into Nimes-Arles-Camargue. Captain was on the P.A. without delay to inform us a military aircraft had not cleared the runway (same reason both times) and that we where "going around" and would join the visual circuit. As we left the aircraft and walked into the terminal the offending French Navy ? Prop Job was still doing his touch and goes. As to the best view from an aircraft that has to be the sight of a V.C.10 Tanker with two Tornados on the hoses passing under our F27 somewhere between Teesside and Amsterdam in the early nineties.
