My guess is that he flew the VOR 36 approach, accidentally over-flew
the airport (cuz he couldn't see it), spotted it at the northeast edge
of the airport property (where we are), racked it around to keep the
runway environment in sight (which is when I spotted him), lost the
airport again, and just kinda did a "fly out for 30 seconds, do a
tear-drop 180 degree turn, fly the reciprocal heading for 30 seconds,
and hope for the best" approach.
Hmmm...how come I don't see that on any of my approach plates? Oh,
that's right, because it's not there! As in, if you need to go missed,
follow the procedure. Cripes, he was lucky. Stupid...but lucky.
