Not an abort but a few years back was DFW inbound from Denver around 10:00 pm. We did not leave Denver on time as DFW was backed up due to storms. We circled around DFW a few times and pilot came on and said we were going to divert to Austin to wait and refuel. I am looking out window after a few minutes and as we descend and I can tell we are about to land at Alliance FW. Alliance is mostly desserted that late but we sit and wait off the runway for over an hour ... then take off and land at DFW. Shortest flight ever.

Just happened to me about 30 minutes ago landing at DFW. Plane still on the runway while we’re on final. Pilots did their job

As we applied power I knew what was happening. Thought what a coincidence.

Back in the late 90's was flying in a puddle jumping turbo prop Midwest Express (I think it was Midwest Express) flight from Milwaukee to Chicago. We were landing in the now long closed Meigs Field which was right off of Lake Michigan. A bad storm came up and the pilot had to make three attempts to land in high winds and heavy rain. Finally got it down on the third try. I was sitting next to a young lady that was new to flying. Had to give her a barf bag and my arm had fingernail marks in it from her.

was she hot

I’ve been on missed approaches in both commercial and private planes

Oh look at me I sit first class when I’m not flying my private jet

Not so much with barf on her face (blow back from the bag) and on the front of her sweater.

I'd have barfed on her. Sympathy puker, here.

Had a takeoff get aborted in Frankfurt Germany in 2001 on route to the states. Hit a bird cruising on the runway and the pilot hit the brakes hard. Scared the chit out of me

I've never experienced it before until this past monday landing at eagle, co. due to a sudden snow storm, the plane aborted landing twice before we finally landed. when he hit that throttle I thought I was going to go through the floor. im still amazed everytime I fly how these huge hunks of metal fly around like that.

Had that happen two years ago in Atlanta. Horrible cross winds and plane was rocking side to side on approach.We get about the same distance 10-15 feet and I'm thinking a wing is about to touch instead of the landing gear. All of a sudden full throttle and up we go for another attempt. Lots of scared folk there for a minute, even the stewardess.

Never informed via intercom about why we were circling and never a word over the intercom once we landed.So on the way out the two pilots were standing in the cockpit door, I shook both their hands and told them "good call." They both smiled and nodded.
