There is a high wind warning issued for Thursday morning to Friday morning. I flew UA SFO-RNO Monday afternoon. A bumpy flight due to winds. As we were landing at the Reno airport, the captain suddenly increased power, and ascended again. He circled and made a second attempt at landing, which was successful. This was a first for me. 😊
