KEWR - Fed, Program Manager on the JS. Tower, tower, held us high for a helicopter passing below. When clear I dive for the 1,000 box to be "stable" and bring in the power at 600 feet or so. Good airmanship, but kinda pushing the gates. About 70 feet off the ground get a GO AROUND GO AROUND from the tower (first thought, what did I goon up?) Shove up the power, arrest the descent and start to climb & clean up as a business jet rolls out across the crossing runway .... (oh, so it wasn't my approach after all...) .... so we ask tower for missed instructions coming off this visual. Tower goes nordo.... we fly the (whatever it is) departure procedure figuring that would keep us clear of KJFK traffic flows with the direction everyone was landing. Tower finally responded as we coasted out. After we taxied in the Fed asked us to get the tower's phone number for him and told us to have a nice day.

The other was a KAL 777 that went missed off of a BFI approach and flew right into parallel visual arrivals for KSEA. Kinda looked like the Blue Angels doing one of those "starburst" formations, but with two 777's a couple of 787's and a 737. Everyone climbed and broke away in almost perfect symmetry.
