I have had go arounds for an aircraft on the runway just before landing and for Air Force One still being on the tarmac. The Air Force situation was relatively easy since the wheels were down and we were still a mile or so away but the other experience was a real treat (just before touchdown). I think I should have asked the White House for certs for being late to my son's soccer game.

Mikey-I have had an emergency for suspected fire (bad indicator) at DCA where I had a nice chat with the firefighter on how often they get called out each year. We had an emergency decompression near NYC where we did an emergency landing at LGA with high cross winds (I got a voucher unasked from this one). All on the same airline. Maybe you want to join me?
