Has anyone got some really scary experiences with go-arounds? Of course, I don't mean going around before reaching decision height or being cut off on final, but very close ones.
I remember I was arriving in Punta Cana (Dominican Republic) in 1997. When we were maybe 5 feet from touch down, we were hit by a wind shear and had to abort. And it wasn't a normal go-around: the shear blew us to one side, and the left wingtip came closer than 10 feet to the ground... As I said, really scary!
