Thanks for posting, going around 3 times and landing on the 4th is very unusual. Pretty sure the first go-around was due to that ship being in the wrong place at the wrong time. I really like the second attempt where the 73 was briefly on the ground before that go-around, Crazy stuff !

$#&@(*! If there was ever a time for a sink rate warning, it was on that 2nd attempt. Holy cow.

Actually the first one was a different plane. I guess he's still flying since they never showed that one land. :smile:
