Your first/last GO AROUND

Just watching reruns of flying wild Alaska and love how they make a go around out to be a extreme risky event. Got me thinking about go arounds. So thought it would be good for everyone to swallow their pride and post about their first/latest go around.

Mine was flying into leeuwin estate in the southwest, 4pob and alot of fuel. So was still quite heavy. Simpily turned base to early, slightly high an slightly fast, the strip has a downslope about a third the way down and being gravel didnt want to go sliding down the hill at the end of the rw either got to 200ft call going aroind, went around, came back around and actually found there was a lot of runway there. Landed had lunch and got gone to ypjt
