Happened to me years ago. Flight from Glasgow to Majorca (I think), spent 3 hrs circling Glasgow to burn fuel as there was a technical fault. The irony was not lost when we realised that we would have been 95% of the way there had the pilot had a set of balls to ignore the planes warning system
I was on a plane back from Majorca last year, coming in for landing... it then re-engaed the engines and "took off" mid air! Some noise and movement! ****in shat maself!!! It lost the signal for the beacon and circled for about 30 mins awaiting a new time slot!
Was on a plane landing at Luton when a huge storm was raging across southern England. The plane was rocking and rolling all over as it neared the runway, I could see the tarmac oot the windae, and then it went full power and started climbing again. Circled for about half an hour before coming in for a second attempt successfully. I was not in the least perturbed. Nerves of steel, me.
