Default Abort Landing

I was flying into Newark Airport the other day......we were just about 200 feet above the runway ready to land and then we pulled back up made a giant loop around and landed safely. During our 20min loop around the pilot came on and said there was something on the runway so we had to abort.

I wish I could get to the bottom of the story. Sounds like someone screwed up big time. Someone was where they shouldn't have been!

I was amazed that everyone on the plane was calm and thought nothing of it. I kept my mouth shut as not to alarm my wife but inside I was fuming that some idiot may have just caused a big crash.

I don't know how often this happens but I have a feeling it happens more than we think.

I will have to check out the FAA website to see if you can report such an incident.

Home safe and sound!
