huh??????????

No doubt... that post made zero sense

You just won the worst meme award.

I could hear the whistle as it went over your head.

The FAA will overlay the weather radar returns with the ATC tapes to determine if aircraft were conducting unstable approaches with convective weather. They will look at the incident flight as well as others in the same time frame. Good idea for anyone around that time frame to have a ASAP on file.

I listened to the ATC archives.

They reported a 25kt loss @ 50' to Approach after they went around.

Approach then tried to vector them for 17L with winds reported as 330/16. They went around immediately and then were vectored to 35R.

Experienced captain and the FO is a good stick as well, I think it was the best outcome given the circumstances.
