2 for me, and one aborted TO.
First very choppy approach into LAS on VS, it just seams that the pilot couldn't get it lined up right.
Second nearly made me .... myself. Last year coming into JFK from MIA on AA.
Severe winter storms in the NY area, they delayed our departure from MIA for an hour or so because of them.
Then some of the worst weather I have ever flown through coming in to JFK, plane bucking and rolling, the cabin was deathly silent, you couldn't see a thing out of the window.
All of the sudden the runway was right under us, full throttle and steep climb out, still in the nasty weather. The pilot only went and did it all again, but the weather cleared just as we came in the second time.
