I was on that Qantas 737, our first approach resulted in a go around due to windsheer but we made it on our second attempt. The captain said we'd give it one more go and if we had to go around again, we'd have to return to Akld... man it was rough up there!
Well i'd rather fly than sail in this weather anyway lol

It's a small world after all lol. That's intense, judgining by those props, it was more of a rollercoaster ride than a landing.
