I actually was at my local class C and saw a very interesting go around for seperation purposes. There was a C152 about 100 feet off and was just about to tough down on the runway when a learjet came flying in right behind him no farther than 100 yds behind him. The ATC gave the C152 a go around and he barely climbed out before the learjet came whizzing by on the runway pavement. Scariest part is that the C152 was a student pilot from one of the flight schools, must have scared him to death to watch a citation go whizzing by barely missing him. Luckily he came around and we saw the student land about 10 minutes later.

When I work the pattern at TUS, I'm normally on 11L/29R. GA planes will be using the parallel 11R/29L which isn't that far separated from the larger parallel. On the go, I'll often whiz by a 172 on the upwind, or even race a Citation who's rotating...
