Default Go-around - my first sighting

Sounds like fun. A number of years ago, several operators
were doing aircraft certification, crew training and such at
Salina, Kansas because it little traffic and runways
designed for the B36. You could see 747, DC10 and L-1011 in
the pattern, acting like C150 going around and around. The
girls at Flower were well tipped and gave out a lot of
chocolate chip cookies. [Really, free cookies]
