Airliners going around
Was at Boston yesterday looking out of the window at the terminal waiting for my flight. 2 parallel runways with planes landing on them both with another runway for take offs which intersected the two "landing" runways - all in all quite an air show in the rush hour!
anyway to the point saw an American 757 "go around" from about 30ft above the runway. As a PPL student it warmed the cockles of my heart to see. I guess it's a frequent enough thing to happen, but it still made me glow all over !! Although to be fair a missed approach in a 757 still probably costs less than a landing fee at Shoreham!!
anyway - apart from giving me a bit of confidence for the future - how often does this happen at a busy airport? as pilots how often do you "go around"? just curious?
