Weeks,

I guess many a world traveler wouldn't feel any apprehension in an aborted landing anywhere, but then again, there are those travelers among us for whom just the fact of being on a plane in the first place is cause for fear and concern and their fears only increase as they taxi and then take off....

And then there's aborted take-offs. We only experienced one in all our flying adventures and it was in DC immediately after we experienced our first de-icing. Air travel is such fun.

I'm usually okay with flying, but having made close to 35 years worth of SXM landings at that point and having never had it happen before in all those trips and flights, I was okay with the first abort but the second one was too close to landing before we went up again for my taste.

I was told after the fact, had the pilot NOT made the third landing we would have been diverted to PR. Fact or fiction? I don't know. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
