I have had two aborted landings but none in the last ten years.

OTOH, regarding the 757...MAN, that baby is EXCITING on a full-power takeoff!

Leaving Spokane a few years ago I was pressed back into my seat and the plane seemed like it was standing on it's tail! After leveling out, the captain used the PA to say something like "...and that's what an inadverdent full-power takeoff feels like in a 757..."

Inadverdent or not, it was a blast!
