Anyone have the details on what aircraft was on the ground? Was it taking off?? Was it crossing the active???
Kudos to the B6 crew for avoiding a catastrophe.
All lies. I was commuting on F1912 and in the cabin. We did a normal go around at about 1000' after shooting an approach to 11, and instead shot the approach to 4R. No one "rotated more than ever before." No one did a pushover. No one threw up. No one did a 4G inverted dive through the clouds with a MIG-28. There was no potential catastrophe. In fact, I hadn't even realized we had gone around until I looked out the window.
I wish there was a barrier to entry for the wannabes on this site, like this alleged "737 pilot" who started this thread...
