Tucson Tower with bathroom ad

*KTUS hasn't had a go-around/missed approach in well over two years.
-------------------------------------------------------



I must have been the last one then.

A few years ago, while riding as a passenger from DFW to TUS on an ASA CRJ 50 seater, we had to go around during landing.

TWICE !!!


I asked the captain afterwards what happened an he muttered something about a fighter jet doing practice pattern work landing long.
 
max! i actually was behind a southwest 737 the other day that did a go around at ktus. i was with my students doing the ryan tus ils game and just as i was coming up on wason i heard the tower ask the southwest guy the reason for the go around. his response was the wind shift. late afternoons here create some nasty thunderstorms and can wreek havoc on you if you are not prepared.
on a side note, i love the tucson tower operators. those guys do whatever they can to get you wherever you need to be in the shortest and most efficient manner possible.
