Um, media, this is not news. So her plane did a go-around. At this rate you might as well write a news story about all of the go-arounds that occur at LGA or DCA because a plane that just landed can't get off the runway in time.
Agreed. If the controller was sleeping.... well that id say that would be more newsworthy. But a go-around? Yesh desperate for a story much? Whoever wrote that article should get a slap and brought to a busy airport to see how many "news articles" that occur.Quote:

That was great! :eek:
Wow...........I saw three (3), "go arounds" today (4/22) at JFK. Two of them occured simulatenously (one go around for 22L and the other go around for 13L). I'm waiting anxiously for the news media to report this as "Breaking News"!!! Great video!
Japan comes out with the stupidist animations........
Is ADW FAA or are they Dyncorp contractors?Quote:

Whipping panda is going to give me nightmares.
I was doing some research and found that they call the First Lady's plane Bright Star. Seems they started calling it this during the Bush Administration and still do so today. I guess it's an unofficial callsign.
I would suspect that is an internal code for the aircraft, in the same vein I've heard AF1 referred to as "Angel".
