CX111 3/12/2011 Missed Approach?

[Ryan N]

Not sure if I need new glasses. I was driving along Anzac Bridge this morning and saw CX111 on approach to the airport. Nothing unusual there. Then about 20 minutes later I was near Haberfield and I was sure I saw another CX plane about to land. It couldn't have been CX161 because that's too early.

Could this have been a 2nd attempt at landing?

Not sure if it was a go around or missed approach but the rego was B-LAK .


Caught a bad quality image of it...

It was far too high on approach and they said they'd need another shot at it even though the pilot didn't sound too worried.

That would explain the 2nd CX sighting.
