Just one for me - on a miserably wet and windy approach to ZQN (Queenstown, New Zealand) with ANZ a couple of years ago and I loved it! Apparently the wind had shifted and had become a tailwind at the last minute. We diverted to CHC and sat there for a while before returning to the scene - this time approaching from the opposite direction. Applause was heard on touchdown!

In pre 9/11 days, I was lucky enough to be in the jump seat for a BA A319 landing into LHR. I heard ATC ask the aircraft ahead of us to expedite their exit from the runway a couple of times and then listened to the crew on 'my' aircraft idly discussing when or if they would go around. All very matter of fact!
