I talked to my business partner while on the ground in Charlotte and he asked if we were delayed because a storm was moving in back home. We weren't and our manager had a window seat and I sat in the aisle seat.
As we banked coming into Huntington I could see a wall of weather moving in from the west and it looked like it would be a race to the airport. As we came in the storm front got there first. As an MU fan the crash is usually in the back of my mind while landing at Tri-State.
I could see the tree tops through the window and we were holding speed at a very low altitude. I knew we were running out of runway and was waiting for the thrust to come on or I felt we were in serious trouble. The thrust never did come. I could feel us gaining altitude and hoped we had enough speed to continue. That part was very smooth and then we rode a bucking bronco for several minutes with nothing from the cockpit. Finally we reached an altitude above the weather and the pilot said the flight was canceled and we hightailed it back to Charlotte.
There were several people crying and visibly upset during and after the aborted landing.
Would be interested to hear
@TwolfHerdfan take on the flight as well.
Interestingly enough the next time we flew a month or so later we had a medical emergency. The pilot said he was going to put the spurs to it and get to DFW asap. He came in hot and well ahead of schedule.
