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!
