Refreshingly plain plane column
It's about being in a commercial airliner when they abort a landing. Had
it happen once, and as we powered up for the go-around at DFW my reaction was "Hmph. How 'bout that." Didn't realize some folks might freak at such an incident. http://www.salon.com/tech/col/smith/...skthepilot293/ "In fact, go-arounds are fairly common and seldom the result of anything dangerous..." In general, a good general-consumer column without too much jargon. IMHO it's a good idea now and then to mention an aviation subject in an educational article free from sensationalism or disaster references.
