Agh!! the new airbus have good cameras for the public to see one in the Tail high up on the Rudder
As we approached Johannesburg from the North over Hartebeespoortdam
We went around to the Sourh of the Or Tambo an landed up for 03 Right and made our run to land
We flew over familiar landscape like the Boksburg Hypermarket and I could see the landing lights upstanding poles clearly
Then I knew we are to high and a split second later the call came from the Flight deck -- Full power
You immediately feel the full thrust of the engines and the aircraft responded and then the wheels come up
All the passengers around me was stunned in silence and as we gained airspeed the flaps retracted
Then van the announcement by the Captain" sorry due to metrology conditions we will go around and land in 5 minutes"
Never in my life have I been in any flight to Joburg where the Pilots had to go around on finals
Any case luckily the camera stayed on and after making a huge circle to the South turning left again we finally touched ground after 20 minutes
The Captain used the high-speed turn off
I notices 8 aircraft waiting for our landing to happen as we approached the last time
On landing their was a poor response of hand clapping response
No further announcements were made by the Captain after landing
Groete
Yster en Pol
