About 20 years ago I was on a vacation in LA on a very windy November day. It was a direct 30 knot crosswind. I decided to watch some aircraft land in LAX. There were many go-arounds but all were narrowbody and mostly 737. Some mentioned windshear. Not one of the 747's went around and there were quite a few.
The most interesting aircraft that made it in while I was there and I kid you not....A Beech 18.
