On my last flight on AA from Pittsburgh to DFW. We were still in IMC when the tower had them do a go around. Once established in the holding pattern, it was over an hour before we went back on the approach. I did do a go around at Bridgeport a few years ago in the Bonanza, as I was about to round out, a few deer stepped onto the runway.

Yes I’ve experienced enough aborted take offs and landings but happy the pilots are being safe. The thing I care less about is taking off and then returning soon because of some issue. It’s scary but I’m glad they do it.
On my first solo ever I had to do a go around because this helicopter was just sitting on the runway. A couple of times I aborted landing or took back off because things were not right.

Lol, yeah it happened to me a couple of years ago. We were trying to land in Biloxi MS. in thick cloud cover with a very low ceiling. we came down out of the clouds about 50 feet off the ground and we weren't over the runway. Pilot hammers the throttles and climbs back up into the clouds. A few seconds later he comes over the intecom and announces we're diverting to Mobile AL.

Not a landing , but on take-off I was on an OLD plane leaving Golfito , Costa Rica, Immediately after take off , the guy across the aisle , Said Is your engine leaking as bad as this one ?
I looked out his window , oil and smoke were coming out of the engine like crazy. About that same time , the copilot said something in spanish , and we turned back for the landing strip ( could not call it a airport , just one unmanned building and a runway.)
Passengers were unload , luggage unloaded and told to to back to the lodge or hotel. We were lucky to get to San Jose on a even smaller, plane , held 4 or 6 passengers, We flew thru the mountains , no over them. Fun Times

No touch and go but had just the opposite, taxied for take off and began our roll, obtained a lot of speed and then the the brakes, reverse thrusts and all manner of "stop this plane" stuff happened. I swear when we made our turn to taxi back we had one foot of runway left before we hit the dirt/grass. Pilot came on and told us the oil pressure never came up to operating guide line.

Worst on was actually a helicopter. We were in Maui for our honeymoon and did one of those, if you come to our timeshare seminar we will give you a free tour of the island deals. Things were going great until we flew between two mountain ranges. We got hit by a strong gust of wind that pushed the chopper sideways and popped open two doors. No one said a word for several minutes, when the pilot finally spoke up he visibly shakeing as was his voice. My SIL who used to live there later told us several choppers crash on the islands yearly. Second time, flying to Costa Rica. The right engine had to be shut down "due to mechanical issues" over the the gulf. The pilot assured us the plane (737) could fly the rest of the way on one engine. He was right. One of the best landings I ever experienced. Third time we were headed to Dallas from Houston for my sisters wedding. About 15 minutes from Dallas we hit heavy turbulance, the kind that makes you feel weightless for a few seconds. Stuff was falling out of the overhead bins, as they were slamming open and closed. i thought it was kinda fun, almost like a rollercoaster my wife didn't. LOL

I can remember that happening once, they never said what the problem was. I think it was at MSP. I always worry about birds at that airport.

I was bring a body home from Houston and landed at Redbird (SE Dallas). Transferred the body to the funeral home and got in the Cherokee 6. Took off headed for Love field (home base). Redbird tower said contact Love approach on 123.3X as I climbed through 500'. Note Love and Redbird are very close as the bird flies (10-15 miles). So I call Love approach "Love approach Cherokee 69354 just departed Rebird, inbound to Love, squawking 1200 climbing to 2000." He comes back "radar contact, maintain 2000', turn to heading 300. Next thing I know he's calling me instructions to charge course to xxx. I change directions and acknowledge and he doesn't get my response. So he comes back to me again...I'm changing radios but he can't hear me. All this transpires over 3 or 4 minutes but I'm getting close to the landing pattern. This guy is sharp "Cherokee 354 if you can hear me squawk indent" I do. He says "if we have 1 way communication failure squawk ident". So those who aren't pilots the transponder has a button on it that will highlight your aircraft on his scope momentarily. From there on he gave me instructions an told me to acknowledge with a squawk. I land call ground and everything is working. No clue what happened to the radio but it didn't happen again.

Getting ready to fly out of Harrisburg once and pilot came on and said we were delayed because of a faulty fuel gauge. He stated that a plane was different then a car. In a car if you run out of fuel you just pull off on the shoulder. That quieted the grumbling.

I was an instructor at Castle AFB. We were doing touch and goes at Navy LeMoore. We were at the point of almost having rear trucks on the concrete when all the lighting turned red. We went around....in Navy parlance, that is a wave off.

We had one landing in Denver one time. Thought the winds were awful at first. He came around and landed pretty quick after the go-around, but on the subsequent landing we came in not quite parallel to the runway and almost ran off the side. Got out thinking he must have had a 40 mph crosswind, only to find that it was like 5-10 mph. Pretty embarassing actually - American Airlines pilot. Normally I've had good experiences with them, but a couple times it's been more adventurous than I'd have liked.

Must have been late 80s. We took off and after about 5-10 minutes we circled back and landed. I think the flaps would not retract or perhaps the landing gear. I was very young and all I remember was my mom telling me she loved my brother and I. Was happy to GTFO at the time.
