I wonder if any other FTers were on UA1569 on 6/28, IAH-DCA. DCA was landing to the SE (which is unusual), so the approach was the slalom down the Potomac to avoid restricted space. We aborted the first landing - we couldn't have been more than 50 feet off the ground - and the pilot sardonically said it was generally a bad idea for two planes to try to occupy the same real estate (e.g., another plane hadn't cleared the runway in time).

So we circle around, juke down the river again, and the same thing happens! The captain didn't even make an announcement that time, but his comments after we (finally) landed made clear he was furious.

I've been on aborted landings a couple of times (once at DEN, once at FRA, I think once at EWR). Anyone had to go around twice?
