Blimey.. I thought go-arounds were a thing of the past since I retired? Long ago there was a real frightener developing on 28R (not the numbers) with only 50/50 chance of a departure beating a landing Vanguard. Vanguard, looking down at the dep rolling underneath him says: "What happens if I overshoot ?" Air man says: "You're not cleared to overshoot" so he landed! (Sorry for stone age phraseology)
