Aborted takeoffs

1 aborted takeoff- 1998 Dubuque to Rockford IL. I was 17 traveling by myself on Mesaba airlines prop jet. I may have needed to change drawers.

This year I have had 2 aborted landings.

1) ATL-MSY... coming in to land... I make that flight at least twice a week and felt we were a touch high... nose up and gun it... pilot says we were gonna be long so we decided to swing around

2) No kidding 2 flights later... ATL-DCA... Potomac approach from NW... nose up and hard bank... not the Potomac approach bank for those who know the approach. We were told to clear airspace by Air Force one taking off. This one wasn't too close but was a clear oh shite.

In 400 or so segments the last 6.5 years, plus probably another 100 in the 25 years before that, I've never had an aborted takeoff or landing. My dad has probably 50 flights in his life, and he's had 3 (all aborted landings I believe) that he's told me about. Weird how that works.

I'd be happy not having any.

Cuse, sorry for your shiteé travel day. To Better Days, mon frere.

No aborted takeoffs but an aborted landing at National (now Reagan) in the '80s, not long after the Air Florida crash. I don't even remember which carrier but I was conscious of the Potomac and everything else down there. We circled around and the second approach went fine.

One go around as a passenger coming into LGA on RWY 22, the over water approach. Capt. came on the PA and said another aircraft entered the runway as we were on final.

Another go around on Aeromexico from CUN to MSY. Pilot never said why. We just circled Lake Pontchatrain for about 30 minutes.

Luckily, as a pilot, I haven't had to experience either besides practice and simulations.

Last year, DFW to O'Hare the week before our game in Green Bay. Began takeoff roll and almost immediately powered back/stopped. Pilot said a circuit breaker popped, probably no big deal but wasn't going to attempt the takeoff. Reset the breaker, spent a few minutes checking things out, and then took off with no problems.

No lie, one of my Singapore Airlines flights had their engine catch on fire as we were taking off from IAH.

I was able to get the flight attendants attention and mid-way through acceleration, they stopped the plane and had the tow truck tow us back to the gate Rescheduled for the next day and I got some death glares haha

Never an aborted takeoff.

Mid 90s, flying in a prop into Hattiesburg on Northwest one night, couldn't have been more than a couple of hundred feet off the ground, runway lights go completely dark. Just poof. About 10 seconds later, they came back on again, but pilot was like, nope, pulled up, went around, landed about 20 min later with no incident.

About 5 years ago, was on a delta flight ATL-MSY late at night and, to this day I don't know what happened, but we circled MSY 8 times before we landed.
