Default Cathay Go Around this morning...
Was out on the mound, with around 10 others too I might add, and China Eastern A333 (?) arrived, QF 763 moved onto runway and stood there...

Inbound CX was rather close, and then WOW... Off she went in a puff of smoke (moving up to TOGA? no doubt??) and went around! Could not get camera out fast enough, so I simply watched it all unfold...

For what it's worth, QF stayed on the runway for a good couple of minutes longer before firing up and departing... From what I saw, and not being a ATC/Pilot, but I was surprised to see the 763 move onto the active as it appeared to be a normal seperation between the China Eastern and the CX A333! All this was around 9.10- 9.15am and the CX A333 was the 100th Special Livery!

Is that meant to be the 763?

CPA161 (A333) went around at 0915. It was sequenced behind CSN325's arrival (A332) with QFA419 (VH-OGA) lined up in between.
Stuff happens!

Yeah I know 'stuff happens', but it was great to see one being executed!
